So Josh Pate will get roasted for this. Several weeks ago on hos podcast, he chirped about how Miami was “different” this year, even looking more impressive than Ohio State.

Well with Miami losing to SMU for their second loss of the season, Pate looks foolish as the Canes are now on the bubble for even making the playoff.

Miami hadn’t played a game outside the state of Florida, and they wilted with this road test at SMU. Many like Kirk Herbstreit called this game out as an upset special, and Miami obliged.

Miami has looked very impressive at times this season, but we’ve seen Mario Cristobal teams wilt before, and Mario if often part of the problem. Talent only gets you so far. Also, Carson Beck started throwing interceptions, and that hurt them again today.
