Miami vs. Oklahoma State Prediction

I’m with Miami here. I think Miami got a wake-up call from Drake on Thursday after sleepwalking through the first few games of the season, and Oklahoma State showed some serious flaws against FAU defensively. Miami still has a rock-solid offense that can score in bunches and I just think this is another game where Oklahoma State gets simply run past by a better offensive unit. Give me the Hurricanes.
