Two years ago Mike Norvell and Florida State walked into Hard Rock Stadium and put a big number on the board (45-3) in Mario Cristobal's first game against the Seminoles as Miami's head coach. If given the opportunity, I do not expect Mario to hold back on the opportunity to run it up and keep Cam Ward's Heisman campaign rolling.
A couple years ago, in Mario Cristobal's first season, Florida State whooped Miami 45-3. They didn't run up the score as much as Miami couldn't stop them, but with FSU down, and Mario Cristobal understanding the situation off the field (recruiting, recruiting, recruiting), I'm fairly confident he'll take the chance to run it up here if he can. Even if he doesn't, Miami's a vastly superior team right now.
Rivalry games are always personal and they bring out the best in teams. This year you have a juggernaut Miami squad with national title aspirations and a potential Heisman winning QB facing a downtrodden FSU team that is experiencing its worst season in recent memory. Look for this to be personal for the Hurricanes.
