00:00I gotta be honest with you, Leroy, this Canes week, I want this like none other.
00:07I need the Canes to give Manny Diaz the business, and I'm nervous, I'm nervous.
00:17Here's the crazy thing about it is, is we still have that scar tissue, right, of sometimes
00:28down here, when you feel great and things are going great, something terrible happens
00:35in sports.
00:36And so you have that scar tissue.
00:39However, if I can comfort you and say this, this team has found a multitude of ways of
00:51winning football games, whether it's comeback, whether it's a street fight, whether it's
00:59back and forth, whether it's just controlling the game from start to finish, they found
01:07a number of different ways to win football games.
01:11That's the sign of a good team.
01:13If you can only play football one kind of way, then you are susceptible to lose to a
01:18team that just does something that you can't defend or whatever.
01:24So I understand that.
01:27Here's what I would say.
01:28At this point in the season, the only thing that can cost the Miami Hurricanes a football
01:36game are the basic fundamentals of football.
01:41That is, protect the football, right?
01:46Tackle and block.
01:48That's it.
01:49Because if there is ever a problem, you're going to go back to those three things.
01:58And they've had a propensity to give up big plays.
02:02Now, I don't know if Duke is going to have a Restrepo on their team or a guy who's going
02:12to have seven, eight catches for 150.
02:15I don't know if they have that guy, but they have been unbelievably giving up.
02:31They've been unbelievably giving up big plays at some of the worst times when you think
02:36they have control of the game.
02:37So yeah, this is the thing that makes me nervous.
02:39Like Smithen is saying, being nervous as a 21 point favorite is embarrassing.
02:43Grow up and I get you.
02:44Okay.
02:46That's not like you.
02:47That's not like you.
02:48Hey Marcos, you know Swaggy Tobes, he coming to the building right now because why didn't
02:55you feel this way last week?
02:57Because I know the Seminoles are awful.
03:00I don't think Duke's awful.
03:01I don't think Duke's awful.
03:02Duke's not awful.
03:03They're not awful.
03:04And they're a good defense.
03:05Like look, we can make fun of Manny Diaz and we should make fun of Manny Diaz because the
03:09dude was a bum.
03:10He can coach some defense.
03:11He can coach some defense, dude.
03:12He can coach some defense.
03:13I mean, they gave up, well, they gave up their most points last week, 28 points.
03:18And that was overtime to SMU who's been, I mean, SMU's been lighting it up.
03:22I mean, I know that's his former offensive coordinator, so a little bit of intel, but
03:27you know, he beat Matt Brown this year.
03:29He never beats him.
03:31He never beats him.
03:32Like that's, that's his daddy.
03:33I mean, you know, so I'm just a little bit, I don't know.
03:39It's okay.
03:40You can't lose.
03:42This is the thing.
03:43The stakes of losing and then losing to Duke, you can't lose to Duke and you can't lose
03:48to that coach.
03:49You can't do it.
03:50You can't do it.
03:51And that's why this one to me, this one to me is a little nervous, a little nerve wracking,
03:57a little here.
03:58All right.
03:59It's a noon game.
04:00Like, Hey, you know, I just, I don't know.
04:03I probably shouldn't be that way, but I am, I can't help it.
04:08Here's, here's what I've done over the last few weeks.
04:13My confidence has grown based on the multitude of ways they've won football games.
04:22Now I do believe that a lot of that they put themselves in that situation, right?
04:28But they have the talent to make up for it.
04:33So how can you in the future eliminate that?
04:38Well, it has to do with you, not them.
04:41You have to protect the football.
04:43You have to not give up big plays.
04:46You have to tackle and not let them break.
04:49You know, you have, you have to protect the quarterback.
04:52And so that's what is encouraging.
04:57The encouraging part is there is nothing that the first eight games or teams have done
05:06to you that would lead another team to say they can exploit you except for the big plays.
05:13It's all been on you, right?
05:16And then, and critical turnovers, you know, but that's what I'm saying.
05:19So, so it, if I thought I am the reason why I've had all these close games and not the
05:26other team, I can fix that.
05:30You just got to think like this, this, this rat bastards probably thinking up at night,
05:33like he's like, this is my ultimate revenge or there might be a, there might be a, you
05:40know, some special plays, right?
05:43Might be a Philly special double flea flicker.
05:47You know, I'm watching a lot of guys.
05:48I thought like, you know, cam ward, look, they were able to run the bully hell of the
05:52ball.
05:53He, he, he, you know, he didn't take any real risks, which was a smart way to go against
05:58FSU.
05:59Like we said, it wasn't the most thrilling game in the world, but I think it did show
06:02maturity from the, from the team.
06:04Cause they just, they knew how to throttle them and eventually just take them out like
06:08a boa constrictor.
06:10I just think with this game, yeah, I did see cam still running around a lot because you
06:15know, FSU was dialing some stuff up and I just know Mandy Diaz is thinking to himself,
06:20if I can get one game this year, it's this game.
06:23And he's going to throw the kitchen sink at this team.
06:25I just think they got to be ready for it, but that's what everybody's going to do.
06:30You're undefeated.
06:31You're in the top 10.
06:32Everybody's got that attitude.
06:34You just have to accept it and accept the challenge.
06:36Is this a ridiculous person for me to be scared of?
06:38Am I a coward?
06:39Yeah.
06:40I would say you're, you're closer to coward than confident.
06:43Interesting.
06:44Now, how would you feel if cam war, I can already see him now cam war back there.
06:50He gets sacked.
06:51It all happens to come out.
06:52Duke recovers it.
06:53And what are they doing?
06:54There seems to be something going on behind Manny Diaz.
06:57They're unveiling it.
06:58It's the Duke blue devil turnover chain.
07:02That would hurt so bad.
07:03That would hurt so bad.
07:04I would, I would, I would, there would be a piece of me that respects it as a card carrying
07:10member of team petty.
07:12There would be a piece of me that respects it for many.
07:13And it is his invention.
07:14Like I can't get mad at him.
07:16He invented the turnover chain so I can't get crazy about it.
07:20But it is interesting.
07:21You have these parallels of the turnover chain season.
07:23First time you've been eight, no, since the first turnover chain season, you know, then
07:26the turnover chain got a little too gaudy.
07:28Everybody got old and their feelings about it.
07:30You know, what if we debut it?
07:32How would you feel about that?
07:33Like, it's like, no, you can't do it now.
07:36How would I feel about that?
07:37I would.
07:38Yeah.
07:39That you can't, you can't, first of all, first of all, first of all, understand who your
07:47coach is.
07:48There ain't no way in hell.
07:51No, no, no, no.
07:56He's trying to make it all about football.
07:58No, he was a little, but he was a little rubbing it in the nose of FSU.
08:02Now listen, that's FSU, but he was like, he was rest of the state.
08:08I did love that speech that cam ward gave though in the locker room.
08:11I mean, do you hear that?
08:12He's like, he's like, where the show was the state.
08:16I'm like, oh, goosies.
08:19I was goosies.
08:22I mean, it was a dominant victory, but very boring.
08:27Yeah, very boring, but did take out this stupid state.
08:30USF, UF, FSU.
08:34Yep.
08:35That's a good recruiting tool.
08:37Definitely is.
08:38Definitely is.
08:39All right.
08:40I'll try not to be such a coward.
08:41It's not, it's not that you're being a coward.
08:44It's just being the opposite of Tobin, which is, did something happen?
08:48Like, no, it's just like, I've, I've thought about this game for a long time.
08:52Like you asked me, like, why didn't I feel this way?
08:54Cause FSU sucks, dude.
08:55They suck.
08:56I knew that was going to be an easy game.
08:58And, and look, I felt the same way about Virginia tech.
09:03Right.
09:04And look how that game ended.
09:06Virginia tech wasn't terrible.
09:09I think Virginia tech is better than Duke.
09:11But, but you would agree FSU is legitimately terrible.
09:14Yes.
09:15But again, rivalry game, you know, they're going to pull all their trickeration and do
09:22all the things they, they had the intangible play quarterback that mysteriously ran for
09:2669 yards or one drive.
09:28Who saw that coming?
09:30Giordo says, did you see that Duke stadium?
09:32More people at a high school game, weird versus a six in one team.
09:35Was it a bad atmosphere?
09:36I did not see that Giordo.
09:37I did not.
09:39I say that about American heritage.
09:42They don't have that track anymore.
09:43Right.
09:44Remember that was a, that was a big one.
09:46The long walk.
09:48Oh my goodness.
09:49Whose excuse was that?
09:50I can't even keep it.
09:51That wasn't Manny's.
09:53That was, that was Randy Shannon.
09:59Wasn't it also, isn't that one of the greatest plays in Miami football history happened in
10:04Duke?
10:05Oh yeah.
10:06Halloween night too.
10:07It was Halloween week.
10:09Yep.
10:11Yep.
10:12And by replay, he would have been down eight times, but you remember you had the nation
10:17come out that week.
10:19Tony Kornheiser was like, they should forfeit.
10:22Greeny was like, you should forfeit.
10:24I'm like, what?
10:26I've never heard of such a thing.
10:28Telling a team to forfeit.
10:30What?
10:31Only Miami.
10:32They would do that too.
10:33Only Miami.
10:34Right.
10:35Ridiculous.
10:36They were less outraged about Michigan steel and science.
10:39Now listen,
10:41let me,
10:43hey,
10:46I was just sitting here minding my own business.
10:49I was trying to comfort you.
10:51I mean, Frank, you would agree.
10:52Like the national hour.
10:53I'm not saying, look, I'm not saying like you won.
10:55I'm just saying that, you know, for having a guy in disguise.
11:01Real low, real low.
