#494: MIAMI WINS 33-20 at Wake Forest | OBB Week 3 Recap Show

Miami went to Wake Forest on a Friday night and came home with a 33-20 win. The scoreboard looks fine. The injury report and the second half don’t.

Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast do the recap Saturday morning. The Canes looked historic for 30 minutes and mortal for the next 30, with a pile of three-and-outs and a lot of bubble screens that went nowhere. The defense is the reason this stayed a win. Corey Heatherman sent a safety at Gio Lopez on nearly every snap in the fourth quarter, and Wake Forest finished with 22 rushing yards.

The guys go through who’s hurt (Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher, a thin secondary, and at least one player who may be done for the year), whether the offense really falls apart without them, and why Shannon Dawson keeps disappearing for entire halves. There’s also a real-talk monologue aimed at Dawson, an argument over Mario Cristobal sending the kicker out for a 54-yarder, a rant about a broadcast that seemed to have one camera, and a hard look at an offensive line that isn’t last year’s group yet.

Darian Mensah still had a big night, but he missed a few he doesn’t usually miss, and the guys talk about why teams will keep coming after him with the blitz. Central Michigan is next, then Clemson.

Good teams win, great teams cover. Miami was a good team Friday night. Whether they get to be great is the whole conversation.
