Do you see Week 1 in Miami as the toughest game on the schedule?

Texas A&M, Boise State and USC are all home games.

Toss up between Miami and Texas A&M. Boise lost their RB. USC not sweatin

 

[IrishWayDomer]

I think Texas A&M is underrated but I really like the BYE week both for Carr and film on A&M, so I think Miami is going to be the toughest.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Yes. It would be a toss-up between Miami and A&M, but the Canes game gets the nod because it's on the road.

checks schedule to make sure we don't play a MAC team at home this year

 

[Free Manera]

It's the hardest because its Carr's first game, and it's on the road. If this game was later in the year I would probably say A&M because Elko should have that defense cookin now.

 

[NDWarrior]

Since the modern U era that started with Howard Schnellenberger in '79, ND is 8-7 vs Miami with the most recent one being a thrashing at Hard Rock Stadium at night late in the 2017 season. We need to avenge that one.

Not our toughest game I don't think but I feel like Syracuse could give us some fits this year. Just a hunch.

We always seem to have a "wtf" loss. Other than that I would say Miami/A&M will be not easy.

Great question for the Miami thread….

Everyone coming into saturdaysarebetter's threads and answering them earnestly is the most compelling evidence of "Dead Internet Theory" I've ever seen.

If we just blitz every play Angelli won’t make it past the 2nd quarter.

 

[Hautian Domer]

Tough question. It's either Miami or A&M. Flip of a coin.

Miami is the first game and on the road. That's huge. Miami also has the better QB with lots of experience. A&M has an elite RB and they should have a strong defense, but, it is home.

A quick ranking

1A/1B: Miami and A&M
2: USC
3: NC State
4: Boise State
5: Arkansas
