There are a ton of playmakers on the field for both defenses. One major element of the Miami defense that will be missing is defensive coordinator Greg Schiano who is now the new coach at Rutgers. Butch Davis will take over the play calling for the defense setting up an intriguing matchup of Spurrier versus Davis in a playcalling duel. For Florida its weakness on defense is the play of its linebackers. With Miami s ability to play action the Florida linebackers are vulnerable to being stretched all over the field.
Special teams are just that, special.
If there is any weakness in either team it s the Florida punting game that has had several blocked kicks during the year. Don t be surprised to see Miami come after one because the Canes love to block kicks. Also don t be surprised to see a return for touchdown by either or both teams with Lito Sheppard and Santana Moss providing the fireworks. I look for Florida to come out in some new formations and try and run at Miami. I look for Miami to continue with it ball control offense and keep the Florida offense off the field.
