If this game was after Week 2 or 3, I would be very cinfident Miami would take this. However, with a new QB and so much new personnel, I am afraid they will not be in week 1 what they will be.
It’s an experience like no other. It’s going to make going back to your rent-a-stadium even more depressing when you see 20k compared to 90k the week before.
I’m a die hard Nole fan, but I’ve been to the swamp many a time in the past decade and a half. It is truly unique, and one of the most electric atmospheres in college football. That being said, both these teams are garbage, and I look forward to seeing who will be second and then third in the state of FL. Go Noles, respect (and hate for the gators), Miami is trash 🗑️ just like every other year. I hope you have a great time at the game, the Swamp is really a cool place to visit
Over half of Miami's roster are new faces. With it being game one in the Swamp, it's gonna matter. Miami's had better ranked classes in the last three years, but not by much. Miami is not likely to win this game.
@mickeyn.5059 Freshmen count as new faces. I thought in total there was 45 between freshmen and transfers, but I just looked, and it says there are 42. So, just about half.
@burtonkandel4934 I misunderstood the intent of your post. Many have been critical of the number of transfers, most likely because all were high profiles. I thought you were bashing us. Apologies, your updated numbers are spot on, I do believe we are at 83 or 84 total scholarship, not 85.
Miami fan here and Week 1 in the Swamp scares me,,, UF has beaten Utah and Tennessee last couple seasons in the Swamp and then lost games to lesser teams at home and away ,, Gators in the Swamp can beat anyone in 1 Big Game so if Miami wins I will be Pleasantly Surprised!!;Go Canes
This could go either way but Cam Ward is playing his first game with a new team while Mertz is seasoned and has full control of the offense. Both have talent. Both coaches are in year 3 and while a single game doesn't a season make, the loser will be on the "fan hotseat". Both defenses will be better. Most things being equal, Florida plays in the Swamp which will be rocking with a stable and experienced QB. Unless Florida gets a penalty for having 2 players with the same number on the field, Florida wins.
@@skipgumphrey9579 Gators have a new fight song I have a dream. But it will be a nightmare. I will be on gator sites after the game not to gloat. Just to be polite to the losers.
I'm pretty sure the Gators went undefeated in the swamp last year I could be wrong oh oh that's right they didn't and they're going to start the season off just how they ended it
If Miami is in a good program state, there's no reason why they can't win 9-10 games this season. In comparison to UF's schedule its a cakewalk. But I feel like that puts much more pressure on the Canes to perform and being in the Swamp will be the edge that Gators need to win this thing. Napier has his people, and its time to show the world.
Fl better bring their A+ game; I've seen the swamp get nasty on fl teams that do not meet expectations 90k booing their own team. Billy needs this win more than Mario. Solid and vocal portion of the fan base aint happy and a good bit more are lukewarm on him at best. Personally if he loses this game Scott should be fired as the clock hit 0:00 bc he needs to crap or get off the pot already
Miami's trenches do not exceed Florida's to the extent needed to dominate the game simply because Florida has home field advantage and a lot more talent in the perimeter. They also have enough elite players in the trenches to be able to hold their own with home field advantage. Florida has the ability to run away with the game. Miami does not. Florida 38 Miami 24
I think the turning point for Florida is week-3 against aTm in Gainesville. I think they matchup really well against aTm and I actually have them winning convincingly that week and likely changing the narrative around Napier. Miami is huge no doubt but I think w/ Florida’s tough schedule they have more opportunities to change the national perception even if they lose to Miami.
Everyone is predicting this game based on Cam Ward and whether or not he does well in the swamp. If things get tough, all he has to do is get the count right and hand it off to Damien Martinez. That will open up everything and slow down the game. Plus, if Fletcher is available for that game… that’s a wrap!
I love how its a forgone conclusion Miami is going to win. Are we seriously going to act like Mario hasn't had some head scratching losses at Miami? One could argue Mario's losses at Miami have been far more embarrassing than Napier's losses at UF

We're overdue for a shockingly successful opener like we had against UM in the early eighties (82?). They went on to win the NC with the worst opening game loss in CFB history after UF whipped them 28-3. We've thunked 'em on the noggin before as a prelude to a season of rebirth for the program. It's time to do it again.
I don’t think Miami is scared of the swamp at all. They have better players and better coaching. The trenches will be won by Miami especially with their defensive line. Mertz is gonna have way less time to deliver the ball and his baby passes aren’t gonna cut it against the linebackers and the DB’s don’t have to do as much since they stay in coverage for less time. Cam Ward is behind an offensive line that’s ranked easily in the top 20 or 15 even, and playing in a scheme that is 100% tailored to his strengths and weaknesses. For all the Florida fans who don’t keep up, EVERYONE is behind cam Ward and he’s bringing the culture and the mindset to the next level. Too many athletes and playmakers for Florida to handle in my opinion
I knew Butch Jones was done at UT when he said "We just didn't have a dime package installed." I knew last year that Mario Cristobal was done at Thug U when they didn't have the V form at the end of the GT game Thug U is not beating Florida. Florida will be a LOT better than almost everyone is predicting. Their schedule is brutal but Florida has some players
Nobody cares what a tennessee fan thinks lol a manning isn't walking back through those doors you guys are more irrelevant than miami or florida either one
They are literally tailoring the offense to his strengths. Shannon Dawson is an air raid guy and fitting the playbook to Cam. They couldnt do that last year with an incompetent QB who threw 11 interceptions in 3 games. Lmao. Are you special?
Idk why but I feel like Florida is gonna get some turnovers early and it’s gonna be similar to Florida vs Tennessee last year. Florida is gonna play sound and to say mentally this team is not their is insane they have a lot of returning players and almost every player is in it to win it in this program.
Good QB matchup wk 1, I think people forget how good Mertz # were last year. Can Ward is a natural leader and hell of an athlete and he’s gonna have more weapons around him at Miami then WSU last year
Florida will come out with a no huddle offense to take the Georgia Tech (no knee) approach. Miami will adjust and be to strong offensively for it to matter.
@@bowabeastly turn on the tape of 2001 canes so you can see what the best team to ever step on a field looks like! I’m pretty sure you’ll be happy watching
Look at this matchup in the simplest terms... Miami has the better QB, RB's, WR's, O-Line, D-Line, TE's, LB's and Kicker. Florida has homefield. Now if you had to put your money on the game objectively.... who you picking??
I don't think Florida has a chance. I am an SEC homer, but I can be unbiased in situations like this. The U loaded up and UF's roster doesn't stack up. It would take Miami playing their absolute worst game and Florida playing out of their mind to keep it a one-score game. With the trajectory of UF, I'd be surprised if Napier is there at the end of the season - I hate it because I like the guy and he was put in a near-impossible situation, but UF's expectations are SEC title game, not 2.5 O/U wins.
Y’all couldn’t handle Georgia tech and middle Tennessee trenches cmon now Miami players never seen an environment like the swamp in their entire careers. The Pembroke Pines to CFL pipeline something different
Miami will lose, calling it right now. Down by 3 in the fourth quarter, Miami will have the ball in the red zone. Miami will be unable to tie the game with a field goal due to poor clock management and the game clock will hit 0 and cristobal will still have an extra timeout that he forgets to use.
I don't know who will win. I would actually give an advantage to Florida because of the swamp and environment vs miami in game 1. However FSU will beat both um and uf AGAIN.
I know Florida isnt used to playing good teams week one but either way this one goes the loser will be fine if they win out. Maybe they can lose one more game but any team can recover from a week one loss especially with an expanded playoff. The weight of early games just don't match a late season loss which imo is kinda crappy.
Florida can’t afford to lose this game with their brutal schedule. Miami on the other hand has the easiest schedule in the country. They could lose this, but would need to beat FSU at home. That’s their only other competition.
The schedule comparison tells the tale. Miami is no better than the fourth or fifth best team on UF's schedule - at best. They can stumble at the Swamp and still win nine or ten games. If UF loses at home, they better be impressive in defeat and UM better be more formidable than I expect them to be, or Billy could be in real trouble. I expect a Gator victory.
Looking at his record I have zero confidence in Cam Ward on the road especially game one in the Swamp with a new system. I'll be rooting for the Canes but betting the Gators!
I'm glad you didn't soften the blow for MIAMI cause listen of a lost happens here, the fan base is going right back into abused dog status. We are over losing down south period. This is our Year us vs the world. GO CANES 🙌🏾
Well, at least after scUM loses this game...they can look forward to having s decent season still with that schedule. Talk about All Cupcake Conference!
@Gatorsownsec15 ill bet $1,000 right now that Miami scores more than 17. If Miami only scores 17, they will finish 6-6 on the year. Which that isn't going to happen either.
Miami can’t afford to lose this game. The Gators play one of the toughest schedules in 2024. They will have plenty of chances to look good if they were to lose week 1.
I still think Florida has too many chiefs and not enough Indians. That's gonna cause drama. I'm not picking them in too many important games, including this one!
Florida Fn Gators break the NCAA Scoring Record set in 1916 where GT beat Cumberland 222-0. They go Undefeated. They Win the SEC. They Win The National Championship. That's the Gator Arrogance! Oh wait, I just woke up and have not had my 1st cup of coffee yet. That was some Dream! Gators selling "Hype" and "Hopium" Good Luck!

Florida has more respectable opponents than cupcakes in week 1.
The Georgia Tech lost still stings.
Billy Napier is fired
Whoever wins this game will go on a nice win streak
Canes all day don't fall for the talking heads they want it to sound close for that's their jobs,,,,, views.
Georgia Tech!
Miami’s schedule is a joke.
Florida can’t afford to lose this game with their brutal schedule. Miami on the other hand has the easiest schedule in the country. They could lose this, but would need to beat FSU at home. That’s their only other competition.
Duke
@@andrewfanfan Meh.
@@tomgore9696 Duke is really good they a Great Team
That's cool with me, but you'll have to bump off UM to break the top five on UF murderer's row of a schedule. It just is what it is. Go Duke! Beat UM!
Meemaw wouldn't happen to be Josh with a wig on would she?
Making this a must win for Miami is a mistake. There’s too many new faces to win a big game early in the season.
Miami being a -3.5 right now is free money !
Super free. I’d bet your entire bank account on it. But you won’t
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
The schedule comparison tells the tale. Miami is no better than the fourth or fifth best team on UF's schedule - at best. They can stumble at the Swamp and still win nine or ten games. If UF loses at home, they better be impressive in defeat and UM better be more formidable than I expect them to be, or Billy could be in real trouble. I expect a Gator victory.
😂😂😂
Looking at his record I have zero confidence in Cam Ward on the road especially game one in the Swamp with a new system. I'll be rooting for the Canes but betting the Gators!
There she is..
If Miami have a good Team this year this could be a good game
Insert Colbert eating popcorn wearing 3D glasses here.
Where's that Indian taking it?
@@harryhoesch3793 What does that even mean?
Fsu is so good they have surely won a NY6 bowl more recently than any other team in the state right? Right?..
Makes no difference. There going 0-2 combined against FSU😮
FSU wins at most 8 games this year kid
MC will find a way to lose this in an epic MC way.
If only the tickets weren't 350 a peice
Get your money up lil one
I'm glad you didn't soften the blow for MIAMI cause listen of a lost happens here, the fan base is going right back into abused dog status. We are over losing down south period. This is our Year us vs the world. GO CANES 🙌🏾
If UF loses this one, it’s gonna be a looooong year. But it will,be a great year for me. Sun belt Billy and the gators go 5-7……again.
Dont call ULL Louisiana. Respect to the Cajuns but yall are NOT UL. You are ULL, U-La-La if you will
Well, at least after scUM loses this game...they can look forward to having s decent season still with that schedule. Talk about All Cupcake Conference!
Florida is not loosing this game. Period.
just 1 more game FL is going to lose.... that schedule people jeeeeezus
Florida wins 31-17🐊🐊
Florida wins 45-0
@@MJ-ut9gp lol now you konw that's probably not going to happen
@Gatorsownsec15 ill bet $1,000 right now that Miami scores more than 17. If Miami only scores 17, they will finish 6-6 on the year. Which that isn't going to happen either.
@@hookandtimberoutdoors8335 Miami ain’t beating Florida at Florida 27-20 kind of game
Miami can’t afford to lose this game. The Gators play one of the toughest schedules in 2024. They will have plenty of chances to look good if they were to lose week 1.
Them Gators are going to get the W against those Ducks! 🐊 Miami y’all on the clock! ⏰ Gooooo Gators!!
Can’t stand both of these schools. It’s like picking between a pile of shit and a pile of vomit.
these miami fans are funny man look at who you play trash teams you in the acc all crap conferance
I still think Florida has too many chiefs and not enough Indians. That's gonna cause drama. I'm not picking them in too many important games, including this one!
dog what the hell does this even mean
They have a coach for every player almost. Way too many coaches! You'll find out!
Florida Fn Gators break the NCAA Scoring Record set in 1916 where GT beat Cumberland 222-0. They go Undefeated. They Win the SEC. They Win The National Championship. That's the Gator Arrogance! Oh wait, I just woke up and have not had my 1st cup of coffee yet. That was some Dream! Gators selling "Hype" and "Hopium" Good Luck!
