Re: FSU: The Rebuild and "the Return" (NCAA 2019 Dynasty)

NEXT UP: #1 MIAMI (4-0)


8:00 PM/ET ESPN on ABC

Preview
This will undoubtedly be the toughest matchup of the year thus far. We welcome the # 1 ranked Hurricanes to Doak-Campbell Stadium this weekend. The Hurricanes made it all the way to the College Football Playoff Championship game last year and lost to Michigan in a thriller of a game. While Michigan has taken a step back this year, Miami has not. They have taken off. They defeated two top 5 foes already this season in #4 Oregon, and #3 Notre Dame in conference action. This will be the Seminoles first primetime game since defeating Maryland the first week of the season.

Key Matchups
Miami boasts probably one of the most star-studded rosters in the country. The only other team that probably has a better roster from top to bottom is Georgia Tech who currently is ranked #2 in the country. For starters, Senior Running Back Maurice Harrison (6'2" ,232) is a projected first round draft pick. He is a workhorse in every sense of the word. He's a big back and Miami uses him effectively. So far this season he's averaging 6.3 yards per carry and 8 touchdowns in 4 games this year.

The Hurricanes also boast a duo of explosive receivers, Chad Chambers (6'1, 177) and Brian Woods, Jr. (6'6", 220). Woods leads the team with 5 Touchdowns so far this season.

On defense, the Noles Offense will have their hands full. Defensive Ends,
Junior Gonzalo Koonce (6'3", 261) and Senior Thomas George (6'3", 253) have been causing havoc all year. Both ends are tied with 4 sacks a piece on the year, with multiple QB hurries to go along with it.

The Hurricanes boast probably the best cornerback groups in the country. Seniors Ricky Booker(5'11", 175) Blaike Jackson (6'0, 185), Junior Chris Key (6'1", 192) and and Redshirt Freshman Charles Ball-Walters (6'3", 188). The Quadruplet corners have a combined 11 Turnovers this season.

The leader of the Defense for the Hurricanes is Linebacker and All-American Senior Rory Owens (6'2", 230) He has 38 tackles and leads the team this season.

INJURIES
None.

SUSPENSIONS
LB Buster Burkes - Team Rules - 4 Games
