Speaker 1: All Right, Welcome in Florida Football Insiders Podcast, the Week
nine edition. Hard to believe we are already nine weeks
into the college football season, but we are. We are
right before Halloween. Week before Halloween. We are getting some
clarity here. Nationally, we're gonna start We're gonna see here,
not this week, but I think next week we're gonna
have the first college football playoff rankings, so.
Speaker 2: We'll get an idea what the selection come.
Speaker 1: He is thinking from a perspective nationally as far as
wildcard teams and all that stuff. But we are here
in the state of Florida. Lots of stuff going on
here in the state. Got a couple in state matchups
this week that we'll talk about. Our guest this week
is going to be the play by play voice of
the Miami Hurricanes. Undefeated Miami Hurricanes number six rated in
the country. Miami Hurricanes Joseph Gaki, longtime media member in
the South Florida area, been the play by play voice
of the Canes for twenty two years. He's done all
kind of great stuff. So if you're a Miami Hurricane fan,
you know who Josephaki is Voice of the Canes.
Speaker 2: He will be here in just.

on your favorite podcast platform. Love to hear from you
on Twitter and ex at JPO Sports. Remember we're part
of the College Gridiron Coast to Coast podcast network. Definitely
go to that podcast feed. You'll hear podcasts from all
over the country. My guy Matt Zemick from out West,
Steve Carney talking about the service academies. In what a
year those two service academies are having Army and Navy.
You'll hear Big twelve stuff, and obviously you're hearing the
Florida football insiders, so we love to talk about We'll
talk a little NFL here in the state of Florida.
Some major injury news both good and bad from the
Florida teams. Jacksonville's returned from London and they finally got
a w, so we'll hit on those topics as well.
All right, let's do a quick little recap from last week.
Start off Friday night, Florida State loses again at Duke,
first time ever they've been in the acc.
Speaker 2: That they've lost to Duke. They lose.
Speaker 1: They're now one and six, which is unbelievable to believe.
But they are just not a very good football team,
going through quarterbacks left and right, but they Florida State
falls to Duke last Friday night up in Durham. The
Gators with a very impressive win at home Saturday night
against Kentucky. I love that game. I thought the Gators
were gonna win that game. DJ Lagway the running the
freshman running back, scores five touchdowns. They really beat Kentucky
pretty soundly. And DJ Lagway's second start, but first since
the Graham merch was has been injured out for the year.
So interesting how that game they were They are off
this week. How that game will will potentially could catapult them.
Speaker 2: Could they beat that that? They are now into the
gauntlet of their schedule.
Speaker 1: Georgia, Texas l s U O miss the next four
weeks after the bye.
Speaker 2: So can Billy Napier hang on here in Florida We're.
Speaker 1: Showing some progress, obviously depending on what DJ Lagway does.
How how does that play into the to the potential
coaching decision and all that stuff. So we will see
a but a impressive win by the Gators on Saturday
in Gainesville, beating Kentucky UH impressively. UCFF loses a heart
break breaker up at Iowa State. The rock O Beck,
the Tampa product, comes back and late and scores a
late touchdown in the waning seconds, I think the last
thirty seconds or so to bail out Iowa State. UCF
played really well on the road up there. They were
winning most of that game, but they fall just short
up in Ames, iowaan the Big Twelve. They come home
to another big game against an undefeated BYU team comes
to Orlando on Saturday, So we'll see if UCF can
be a spoiler and a giant killer here in n
The BYU undefeated season. Again, quarterback change at ucfkj Jefferson
no longer the quarterback. They're playing the freshman, so it
sounds like he played pretty well and again UCF played
very well up in Ames, just came up a little
short as rock O Beck comes brings Iowa State from
the depths of defeat to keep them undefeated as well.
FIU they played on Tuesday night this week at Sam
Houston State. They lose ten to seven, another tough loss
for coach McIntyre. They've lost some tough games, especially these
midweek games. They lost to Liberty and overtime a couple
weeks back. They lose another tough one here last night
on Tuesday night on the road. So tough tough game
there for the Panthers. And they will not play obviously
this week and have a game the following week and
we'll talk about that next week. USF they beat UAB
at home thirty five twenty five, still no Byron Brown.
They beat They beat a very struggling UAB program.
Speaker 2: The issue the storyline out of.
Speaker 1: This game was apparently there was an altercation on the
sideline between multiple USF players.
Speaker 2: So that's not good.
Speaker 1: So that needs to be something that needs to get addressed,
and I'm sure it has by coach Golish, But again
USF has had some expectations to play well, has not
lived up to it. Obviously the quarterback being out hasn't helped.
But USF they are They will go to FAU this week.
That's one of our two state rivalry games.
Speaker 2: Along with Florida State. Miami and FAU.
Speaker 1: Coming off of a loss at UTSA Tom Herman in
the in the Owls, they will now host USF down
in Boca this Saturday. So that'll be a nice little
interstate matchup between Goalish and tom Herman. So that'll be
the interesting And obviously Miami with the huge win at
Louisville to shootout I think it's fifty two to forty five,
ended up being the final cam Ward another big game again,
offensive offensive scoring points galore. Can the Miami defense can
they stabilize? To me, that's gonna be the key here.
We know they can score points, we know they got
a great quarterback. Can the defense hold up and not
have to get not have to make the offense score
forty every single week? Will be the question here moving forward,
and again we'll talking to Joseph Gaki, played by play
voice of the Canes. Here in just a couple of minutes,
he'll give you the full breakdown of what he thinks. Uh,
we'll talk about some good stuff as well with the program.
So but Miami again number six in the country, seven
and oh, the path is right there for the Canes.
Speaker 2: They got they I mean they should.
Speaker 1: They should win the rest of their games to get
to the ACC title game, uh, to be potentially play
Clemson potentially because Clemson's playing really well. But we will
see how the ACC shakes out. But again, a golden
opportunity for the Miami Hurricanes to be to get to
the a SEC title game undefeated, which could give them
a little bit of wiggle room potentially if they were
to lose to Clemson. If you only have one loss,
losing to Clemson, you might still get a wild card
berth in the College Football Playoff, and I think they
would if they go eleven and one and lose to Clemson.
So that's why you can't slip up here in the
regular season if you're Miami, because you need to have
that that game in hand. Potentially, if you were to
play Clemson and not and lose to Clemson in the a.
Speaker 2: CC title game.
Speaker 1: So there's your Florida college football recap. On the NFL front,
Let's start Monday night in Tampa. Uh Bucks lose to
the Ravens forty one thirty one. Terrible night for the
Bucks from an injury perspective. Mike Evans goes out. He's
going to be out probably a month. Chris Godwin gets
hurt late in the game, breaks his ankle out for
the year, So the Bucks receiving corps has been decimated.
Look for the Bucks to be active in the trade market.
DeAndre Hopkins just got traded to the Kansas City Chiefs,
so a name to keep an eye on. Cooper Cup
potentially could be available with the Rams. He knows the
Rams system with Liam Coham, so again, keep an eye
out on Tampa Bay and potentially Cooper Cup here. If
the Rams lose on Thursday night in their Thursday Night game,
I wouldn't be shocked at all if Cooper Cup would
be available. I think you could probably get him from
for a second or third round pick. Again, he'd be
a great addition for this year and potentially moving forward.
Remember Chris god was a free agent, so we don't know. Obviously,
obviously coming off of a will be coming off of
a bad injury, so we'll see how that plays. But again,
Bucks lose at home to the Rams, to the Ravens.
You know, huge matchup with the Atlanta Falcons at home
at Raymond James on Sunday, Week eight, a must almost
a must win game for the Buccaneers from a divisional perspective.
They lose, the Atlanta Falcons will be up basically three games,
two games actually, because they'll have the head to head matchup. Remember,
the Bucks lost in Atlanta a couple of weeks three
or three weeks back or so, so a big game
for the Bucks on Sunday. I do think you'll see
a big effort out of the Bucks defense. The defense
did not play well Monday night, but I think you'll
see the And again I think the receivers you got,
Jayla McMillan, Trey Palmer, Sterling, Shepard, Kate Otton had a
good game. So again we'll see if Baker can can
salvage it with these receivers. But again, I think you'll
see a big effort out of the Buccaneers Sunday at
home against the Falcons Jacksonville comes back from London. They
beat the Patriots for game two of their two game
road trip to London. They're back here this week. They're
back home. Game out of Bigsby last week in London.
Brian Thomas with another good game. It's a game you
had to win if you're Jacksonville. Doug Peterson I think
would have been fired if he'd a lost to the Patriots.
But he doesn't. They win the game. I think they
have Green Bay at home in Jacksonville on Sunday, so
we'll see if they can stabilize and put together a
little winning streak. But again, very important that the Jags
got off the losing snide last week in London.
Speaker 2: In the last game to talk about is is the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: They lose up in Indianapolis sixteen to ten to Anthony
Richardson and the Colts. The story here is coming out
of this game is to from all indications, two is
gonna come back and play this week, assuming he passes
the last little bit of concussion protocol. But he had
a very spirited press conference on Monday stating, you know
he wants to play. He's gonna play. I know there's
been all kind of chatter about whether Tuas should play anymore,
should he wait longer, and all that. He was very
passionate in his press conference about his desire to play.
Speaker 2: He's a football player and all that stuff that he
wants to play.
Speaker 1: And if you're the Dolphins and that's what he says,
and that's what he thinks, you can't prevent him from playing.
I know it's you know, we're thinking about his long
term future, and I'm sure he is too, But ultimately
he's the guy that gets to make the decision as
long as it's a He's been cleared medically, and he
sounds like he's gonna be. So the Dolphins say what
you want. If he plays, they got a chance to
win games because they they got nothing out of their
receivers because of the quarterback play the last four weeks
with Hill and Waddle and the you know, but if
to A play he's they're a threat offensively for sure,
and their defense has been playing better.
Speaker 2: So they're not out of it in the AFC.
Speaker 1: I hate as much as their record might indicate they
might be, They're only two and four.
Speaker 2: They're still in it. If to A plays, and they
can keep.
Speaker 1: Them healthy, so be interesting to see how how he
comes back and plays and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: So there's your wrap up. Florida Football Insiders Joe.

Speaker 4: Appreciate you finding us.
Speaker 1: It is Florida State week for the Miami Hurricanes that
are in state rivalry, probably the biggest in state rivalry
them and then obviously you got Florida, Florida State. But
to me, historically Miami Florida State is the biggest rivalry
here in the state of Florida.
Speaker 4: No better person to talk to.
Speaker 1: About the game then the guy will be calling the
action from hard Rock Stadium Saturday night, seven o'clock. Twenty
second year is the voice of the Miami Hurricanes, number
seven in the country, a sixth in the country, seven
to zero. Mister Joses Zagaki rejoins the podcast. Welcome back,
Joe her Are you I'm well well? Busy time, great
times down in South Florida these days. Give the audience
at overview from the guy that's been in the booth
every single week. Give me a little overview of the Hurricanes. Obviously,
we know the great record in the offense. Give us
a little overview of the roster and how things are going.
Maybe that the average fan who hasn't watched a bunch
of games would see.
Speaker 5: Well, it's been an adrenaline fueled adventure ride, that's for sure.
They've been on the edge of our seat the last
three weeks. Might be finding a way to win games,
put themselves in some precarious spots, and they've got a
great leader and cam Ward dynamic playmaker, the guy, he's
the wizard that makes it all levity. I think they're
better than with what they've shown in the last three
weeks on defense, but they've been giving up some big
plays on defense. Give them some big plays last week
on special teams. However, they do seem like a very
unified team. Everybody's very well engaged. They're seven to zero
and they've shown a lot of grit and determined and
I really like the way this team has come together.
Speaker 1: Talk about the health of the team. I know the
defensive line had some guys come back. Just talk about
the overall health of the team going into the Florida
State week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going into Week eight, and to be honest
with you, I can't remember the last time the University
of Miami has had a team that has been this healthy.
Just about everybody is ready to go, except for Devonte Brown,
who was a starting quarterback. Got injured in the Florida game,
so he's probably out and sold the end of the
regular season, maybe the postseason. It mighty gets deep into
the postseason, but for the most part, they've got the
offensive line they envisioned, they've got the defensive line they
envision in August, and I think their best football is
still in front of them.
Speaker 1: Let's take you back a couple of weeks for again,
we had Joe back onto the preseason for the season started.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the Virginia Tech game Friday night.
Speaker 1: What is Joe and your partner thinking in the booth,
last play of the game when they go to replay.
Speaker 4: What'd you think initially was gonna happen?
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny. I thought there was something that kept
telling me this kid's gonna gon land the ball in
the end zone somehow, someway, it just seemed that it
was that kind of night, and so I wasn't shocked
that the ball came down, but it wasn't too far
away from me because we called the game from the
end zone, and my description was the ball is being
juggled around, So I don't think he ever had it.
I think they made the wrong call by declaring it
was a touchdown because the ball was being juggled around,
and then Isaiah Horton came out with it. I thought
when they reviewed it, I was hopeful that they would
overturn it. But the way it's gone for the University
of Miami inside the ACC, I was certain they were
going to rule it a touchdown.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. All right, then let's go
to col too a little bit. A little bit later,
you're down thirty five to ten. Everybody thinks it's the
it's over.
Speaker 1: The bubble has burst and in South Florida, and all
of a sudden, little by little, here comes cam Ward
and he gets.
Speaker 4: The ball down one score in the waning couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Give me a little thought there in the wanning moments
of cow after being down thirty five to ten.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it did remind me, and I was actually really
looking forward to having a game like that, which is
hard to believe. But when Miami was great, when they
were in the eighties and early nineties, even nearly two thousands,
they always had a game like that somewhere along the
line on the road where they fell behind, had to
fight and clawed and uh and win the game on
the road, try and figure it out. And that's what
this team did. And I kept looking at the clock
when they were down thirty five to seventeen, I thought
thirty five ten. I thought. The biggest thing was they
scored a touchdown pretty quick after they gave up, which
would have been I think thirty five points in a row, right,
and they made it thirty five to eighteen because they
went for two right. So that was a big That
was a big two point conversion because automatically it kind
of kept them in striking distance the way the game
needed to be played out. You know, you kind of
start doing the math on those things. So they got
it to a position where I thought, Okay, they're down sixteen,
they can get this to where they're down six with
a reasonable amount of time, they can win. And that's
what they were able to do. But the key was
when it was when they were down thirteen, they got
the ball with about six minutes to go, maybe a
little bit less. And I remember, you know, being around
Gary Stevens kind of play that clock thing. If you're
under ten minutes, you got to be within ten to twelve,
ten to thirteen.
Speaker 4: Points two scores.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, So I said my partner, they got a
score by three minutes, right, they did. They scored it
right before to three minutes. They have a chance because
they had three timeouts plus the two men a timeout.
So once they got down to six with three minutes
to go, I thought they could win the game. I
thought they were gonna win the game.
Speaker 1: And you almost knew if they got the ball back
with a chance to win it, cam Warden was going
to do it with how good he's been.
Speaker 5: And let's not go they had to go ninety three
yards on it. So that was a little more of
a twist and a turn that I anticipated for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's go to cam ward again. To me, he's the
top two guy in the Heisman Trophy race through seven
eight weeks. Just talk about the confidence this guy e
zunes through this program. Even though the defense has struggled,
the offense played great at Louisville again, he played great
at Louisville.
Speaker 4: Just talk about the confidence this guy zunes through this
whole roster.
Speaker 5: If the season ended now, he'd have to be the
Heisman Trophy winner. I don't think there's been a better
player in the country than cam Ward is confidence I've
never been around. I'm not sure that I've ever been
around a player with more confidence. I'm not talking football,
I'm talking every University of miighting player I've been around.
He would have faded in really good with the uh,
the Michael Irvins, Jerome Brown.
Speaker 4: The two thousand year, the Taylor has.
Speaker 5: Been really good. With all those guys is they had confidence.
But this this guy, there's nothing that stops him. Even
the pass against Cal he's just the interception. He just
shakes it off and says, that's the way I play.
So we had to live with it, and I'll live
with it. And his confidence has made everybody else more confident.
Every player on the team is more confident because of
cam Ward. And he holds them all accountable offense, defense,
special teams. He's he's like a coach on the field.
He's been great to have. He's been one of the
best players Miami's ever had.
Speaker 1: He's probably been the best quarterback in twenty since Dorsey,
I mean to me, since Ken Dorsey's leader. He not
Dorsey was a different kind of player, but that confidence
of leading that offense. To me, Ken Dorsey was the
last impact quarterback, huge quarterback Miami's had. And boy cam
or what a what a move in the transfer portal
for Chrystal Ball in that coaching staff.
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the defense quickly, talk about just give
me a thing or two, whether it's schimmatically or just personal.
What is a couple of things. If this defense just
improves a little bit in these couple areas, they're going
to be a really, really good National championship contender.
Speaker 5: Stop giving up the big plays. And some of that's
been communication in the secondary, but everybody knew the secondary
was going to be the weak link. So teams have
figured it out. Now Miami's got a you know, we're
going to Game eight, They've seen what the counter to
that is. Mimi gangs up and tries to strangle the run,
and so teams have decided, okay, we'll go over the
top on you. You're going to commit your assets to the run.
Then we're going to commit our assets to the pass game.
So now the ball is in Lanskidory's court, he's gonna
have to make some adjustments. And I thought, you know,
last week was skewed a little bit because they were
stuck on the short field once they gave up a
special team's touchdown. There were a couple of times where
you know, they should have been off the field, hit
with a couple of penalties that really hurt them in
the deep secondary. So they've got to clean that up.
But you know, their identity is to stop the run,
and they're gonna take their chances that if they can
get teams against their pass rush and against their third
down defense, that they're gonna win the majority of those
The odd number was last week Louisgo was three for
twelve on third downs. Mini should win those games by a.
Speaker 4: More comfortable more comfortable yes.
Speaker 5: You are hold your opponent the three for twelve on
third downs, but there were some other plays that they allowed,
whether it's fourth down or the forty three yard touchdown
that scus that. So they got to be better.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the rivalry game Saturday night at hard Rock,
Florida State comes to town.
Speaker 4: They're reeling one win.
Speaker 1: You know, you've covered to so many of these games
over the years where one team might be better than the
other or there's equal matchups. Just talk about this rivalry
and these kids all know each other, so many of
these kids know each other from high school days. Just
talk about the history of this rivalry and get about
the records.
Speaker 4: In a game like this, right, I.
Speaker 5: Think Florida State is better than their record. And the
danger part about Florida State is when do they put
it all together. There's gonna be a game where they
put it all together, and they haven't been able to
do that so far. I'm sure that's been most frustrated
to their coaching staff, but they do have the talent,
especially on defense, to put a special game together. Hopefully
that's not Saturday night. But if I'm Florida State, I'm
thinking you have to get more out of your defense,
more three and outs, more takeaways, better field position. They're
going to have to help their offense pin Miami back.
They have a great punter, so you got to count
on him flipping the field position, and when they do that,
their defense has to rise to the occasion. Get a
three and out, get takeaways, and give their offense some gifts,
give their offense a chance on the short field. I
know this. When they can't drive length to the field,
they haven't done it all year. So when they get
around the fifty yard line, they're gonna try to hit
a home run. They're gonna throw the ball deep, try
and hit the big play. So I think that's their
path to a victory. Something big on special teams.
Speaker 4: Put something weird in the kicking game. Yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they blocked five kicks. They blocked five kicks. They've
returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Their punter average is
forty nine yards of punt. Their field goal kicker as
three field goals over fifty yards. So they they know
what their path is.
Speaker 1: Talk about the fan base, as the fan base realize
that this is a special team down there, that they're
that the student body in the Miami the South Florida community,
are they back all in on the Hurricanes.
Speaker 5: I think all you need to do is look at
the scene in Louisville. There are a ton of Miami
fans in Louisville. There were a ton of fans at
the South Florida game. There were a ton of Miami
fans at the Gator game. I think the places the
roof's gonna blow off Saturday because they haven't been home
in a month. The Miami hasn't played a home game month,
but the fans have traveled all this hogwash and Miami
won't go to hard Rock Stadium. Hell, they had twenty
thousand fans in Louisville and I don't know what they
had in Florida at Gainesville, but they were a lot
louder than the Gator fans.
Speaker 4: And I think I think you're seeing a lot too.
You're seeing the old guys come back.
Speaker 1: You've seen Michael Irvin on the sidelines and other guys
are coming back on these road games, and I'm sure
Saturday night you will see a lot of the old
guard on those sidelines at hard Rock.
Speaker 5: Right without question. Yeah, I mean those guys, you know,
they get it's a double eight sword for them. All
they know is win. That's what they did. So it's
easy for them to criticize when Miami doesn't win, and
then they get criticized for criticizing. So but all they
know is winning and that's what they that's what they want,
and that's what they expect and that's what they're getting.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: Last thing I'll get you out of here.
Speaker 1: Listen to Josephaky, Voice of the Miami Hurricanes, Saturday night,
seven o'clock ESPN Florida State travels to my Emmy looking
ahead Again, it's a game by game deal, I get it.
Let's assume we win the game at Florida st. With
home Florida State looking to the schedule, got two tricky
road games at Georgia Tech. Probably gonna be.
Speaker 4: An early game, who knows.
Speaker 1: And then you go to Syracuse and we know Syracuse
has been dangerous.
Speaker 4: They've over the years, they pulled some upsets.
Speaker 1: Give me a thought just of the of the of
the path ahead for the Cane, especially the two road games.
Speaker 5: Well, they're gonna be favored in every game Georgia Tech
since Miami's entered the ACC. Doesn't matter what team Miami has.
Georgia Tech has always been a pain in the ass
for Miami for whatever reason. Sometimes that just happens. Uh.
And then Syracuse.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: The last time Miami played Syracuse was twenty seventeen. Down here,
I to be honest with you, I don't know that
Miami's ever gone to Syracuse since Syracuse has been in
the ACC. I think the last time Miami was there
might have been these days. Yeah, uh so, and they've
got a very good quarterback and they're playing good defense.
But the reality is if Miami wants to get to
where they think they can go, got to go win
those games. No, Georgia didn't complain going to Texas. Miami
can't can playing going to to uh Georgia Tech or Syracuse.
You got five games left. The mission is pretty clear,
and coach Cristo Baal talks about, you know, go one
to o every week. That's kind of a common theme
with modern day coaches. So I sign off on that,
focus on on Florida State and then next week Douke
comes to town. But you're right, those two road games
are tricky, but there'd be no excuses. Got to go
win those games.
Speaker 1: And you got the and you got the intrigue of
Manny Diaz coming back to town from the Duke head coach,
which and Duke's having a good year as well, so
you got some intreatments of story elastic one to keep
the team motivated. I think there's some there's there should
be no shortage of motivation forget about who's on the schedule.
You got road games to deal with, you got Manny
Diaz coming back, rivalry games. It's all like you said,
it's all right in front of them Saturday night, seven o'clock,
jose A guy can tell the audience if they can't
hear the radio broadcast locally, where can they find the
radio broadcast of you and your team?
Speaker 5: Honesty dot Com, Miami Hurricanes app. You can download that
on the Miami Hurricanes app. And then we're gonna be
on Serious exam And I don't remember what channel, but
we're gonna be.

it's on Serio XM for sure. So Joe, I have
