Miami has seen way better offenses in worse teams like Toledo, Syracuse and Notre Dame (even though they looked like ass against us). Now where Miami will have trouble is that front 7 of Clemson's; Rosier looked like an average high school QB last week and if that's the Rosier who shows up tomorrow then we will lose like 20-3. But, Clemson's D is susceptible (think NC State game). Both offenses can neutralize the other team's defensive strength (D-Line/front 7) by throwing quick passes and not allowing the pass rushers to get to the QB in time. Whichever offense can do this the most effectively will win the game.
I'll say Clemson wins this 23-17, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if Miami squeaked this one out. Manny Diaz will have this D ready to go and Mark Richt will have a few tricks up his sleeve.
