Miami Hurricanes face Syracuse Orange in a matchup that should be anything but competitive. Syracuse started walk-on freshman lacrosse player Joe Filardi at quarterback last week after Steve Angeli's season-ending injury, creating what Jackson Holzer calls "malpractice" and "not a fair fight."

Alex Donno and Jackson Holzer break down why Miami's 28.5-point favorite status might not be enough, examining the Hurricanes' desperate need for style points to salvage College Football Playoff hopes after dropping to #18 in the rankings. The discussion covers Carson Beck's inconsistent quarterback play, Miami's self-destructive penalty problems against SMU, and how Fran Brown's Syracuse squad has legitimate offensive weapons being wasted by their quarterback crisis. Key topics include Mario Cristobal's conservative offensive philosophy that's limiting playmakers like Malachi Toney, Syracuse's limited options at quarterback with Rickie Collins and Luke Carney, and why Miami must approach this game without mercy despite the obvious talent mismatch.

Hear both hosts' predictions and analysis of whether the Hurricanes can deliver the dominant performance their playoff resume desperately needs.
