Miami heads to NC State for the season finale on Saturday.
That’s really all I have for you. Last time I went the ‘rah-rah’ route, the Canes faceplanted on Thursday night against Georgia Tech. An ACC title game berth in the balance, all the reasons in the world to win (after losing three straight against the Yellow Jackets) and the result was the worst loss of the year.
Miami sits at 7-4 and today is all about pride and a shot at a better bowl game. Riding a 5-1 win streak, the Canes have proven they can go toe-to-toe with the ACC’s best. A win against NC State is doable. Tougher now after the Wolfpack upended conference and state-rival North Carolina, 41-10 last week – but doable nonetheless.
A bowl berth is on the line for NC State and it’s senior day in Raleigh-Durham. The Wolfpack will come to play and Miami knows that.
Talk is cheap. The Canes have had their share of soundbites this week, talking the talk regarding being ready. I’m not a fan of talk. I want to see some action. 8-4 sounds a lot better than 7-5 and bowl games in the Sunshine State sound a lot better than New Years in Memphis or San Francisco.
Play the game and we’ll sum this one up when the clock hits 0:00.
One more time, Go Canes.
