"Don't get me wrong were confident...were not cocky now, we are confident", my thoughts exactly, but it was Coach Shannon who said that last week and it rings true for this week.
An example of the confidence of the 'Canes, comes from O-lineman Derrick Morse who said "when we win at Oklahoma....I didn't come to Miami to lose." Randy Phillips echoed Morse's comments "These games are why I came to the U," One 'Cane who did not sound confident was QB Kirby Freeman, he seemed a little to focused on his mistakes last week and didn't have the same air of confidence he had before the season.
Coach Shannon said this team needs Freeman to manage the team and get the ball to it's play makers, my question is what play makers. Cooper and James are studs at running back but OU's run defense is a little better than Marshall's. The 'Canes wide reciever core dropped many balls last Saturday and when they weren't dropping passes, Freeman was overthrowing them.
Prediction: If the the 'Canes passing game struggled against Marshall's weak pass defense, then they are going to be disastrous against OU, I'm predicting two picks from Freeman. The running game is talented, but so is OU's defense, so the James, Cooper compo will gain 135 yards on Sat. The "D" is amazing and will continue to make plays but the 'Canes will lose to the Sooners 24-10.
