#496: MIAMI WINS 52-3 vs Central Michigan - OBB Week 4 Recap Show

Miami beat Central Michigan 52-3, and for a good chunk of the night the refs were somehow the bigger story. Ro, Toast and Jenners (filling in for Scoop) get into a game with roughly 30 penalties, 12 of them in the fourth quarter alone, and why all those false starts and holds have them a little nervous about a prime time trip to Death Valley.

The good stuff still won out. Miami ran for 201 yards to CMU's 21, outgained them 572 to 158 and went 7 for 7 in the red zone. Four games in, the Canes have the No. 1 run defense in the country at 39.5 yards a game, and that's without Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor. We also get into Damon Wilson II getting robbed of a sack and a scoop-and-score, Malachi Toney's run of 100-yard games, Cooper Barkate's scramble-drill touchdown, and Darian Mensah becoming the first player in FBS history with more touchdown passes (14) than incompletions (12) through four games.

Then Vegas posted the Clemson line and the room lost it. Miami opened as a 17.5-point road favorite, it ticked up to 18.5 on DraftKings while we were recording, and nobody at the table knows what to do with that.

Also on the show: the ACC scoreboard, Wake Forest knocking off Louisville, PJ Fleck's postgame moment at Washington, the hit on Dante Moore, whether the Big Ten is top-heavy this year, the SEC's push for conference-adjusted playoff selection, our ugly picks record, and a little MLB Wild Card talk before we sign off.

Go check out Ro's Student of the Game breakdowns, and catch us live on the stream. The Clemson preview drops later this week ahead of Saturday night in Death Valley, 7:30 on ABC. Go Canes.
