2006 Miami Football Picks & Predictions
The 2006 Miami Hurricanes football team could drop their opener to Florida State as they’ll have some key players suspended including tailback Tyrone Moss and receiver Ryan Moore. However, when it’s all said and done, our college football predictions see the Canes will be back atop the ACC. The biggest reason Miami regains their ACC Championship this year is the addition of offensive coordinator Rich Olson who will revitalize Miami’s offense which was held to its lowest point production since 1977 a season ago. QB Kyle Wright will light up the ACC’s overall weak defenses, and if Moss can come back from suspension and screw his head on straight, the Canes will have one of the most explosive backs in the country in their backfield. Miami is always deep at the tight end position, having produced such recent talents as Shockey and Winslow. Expect a huge year from tight end Greg Olsen in 2006 as he will be Wright’s go-to guy and a huge asset in third down passing situations.

Miami’s offense will find it’s way this season, I have no doubt, and I have even less doubts about there defense which was among the best in the country last season. 6 starters return and longtime defensive coordinator Randy Shannon will continue to utilize his team speed to terrorize the opposition. Expect the Hurricanes to put plenty of pressure on their opponents QB’s with ends Atkins, who started at tackle last season, and Pata. Atkins will be able to use his strength as well as speed much the way Reggie White did to abuse offensive tackles. Up front the Hurricanes also feature tackle Kareem Brown who is known by many as the top NFL prospect among defensive tackles. The Hurricanes don’t have any stars at linebacker in the same class as former Miami greats Ray Lewis and Jonathan Vilma, but Glenn Cook and Darryl Sharpton, although undersized, should be able to hold their own by using their exceptional speed. Where the Hurricanes really hurt you is with their secondary. Meriweather and Phillips are the best safeties in the ACC and they provide great run support and are quick to break on the football in zone coverage schemes.

As always Miami has the talent to win an ACC title. Whether they do will mostly depends on how well the 6 new coaches are able to mesh. The Cane’s will likely drop 1 ACC games whether it be their opener or to VA Tech on November 4th and that might be there only loss on the season even if they drop another one it leaves them a 10-2 season so for you futures bettors, for one of free football picks we think you should put your money on the Miami Hurricanes to win Over 9.5 games at Bodog.
