I think we'll win, but it won't be by as much as it could be. I think if Snyder is watching the game and he sees us winning by doing some pretty simple stuff, he'll keep doing that.
Miami has talent, and Golden is a pretty good coach. Their QB situation is shaky, but their line is generally pretty good (Henderson is back), and they have a stable of decent backs. We'll have a pretty good idea of how well we can stop the run up front after this game, so there's that.
Honestly, Miami lost so much up front and on defense that I think we'll probably run it more than we probably assume (even now). My hope is that it's by pounding them on the ground with Pease and Hubert, and I hope we don't have to rely on Klein. My personal preference would be to have at least one series in the first and second half where Sams takes some snaps at QB expressly for the purposes of running the football (to save Klein), but that's probably wishful thinking.
I think we'll win and the score will look closer than the game actually was. Something like 21-13 or something like that.
* And I don't know if I specifically said, "How". Well, honestly, I think there are a lot of ways to beat Miami, but Snyder is going to do it by pounding the crap out of a pretty green and thin defensive line. We're a better team, we're at home, and he's not going to do anything crazy to lose this game. With as much inexperience all over the field that Miami has, we're going to go extra Snyderball on them. I don't think we're going to get much pressure on the QB, though, so that will keep Miami in this.
