0:00.0	What's up everybody. Welcome back to Through the Smoke, a Miami Hurricanes podcast here on the 24-7 Sports Network. I'm Andrew Ivins, joined as always by David Lake.
0:24.0	Week three is here. Your Miami Hurricanes will play their first game of the season at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday.
0:31.0	And it's coming against Spathoon Cookman. David, we normally like to kind of preview and break down a bunch of the opposing team.
0:39.3	But since it's Bethune Cookman, I don't really think most listeners are going to care that
0:43.1	much. So I thought we kind of change it up this week for the podcast or at least the pre,
0:49.4	I guess, preview podcast. And I wanted to highlight a story you wrote, I think it was either on Monday or Tuesday,
0:56.4	10 players that Miami needs to get on the field this week, if they're going to build some depth.
1:02.1	And I think it's really, you could toss that central Michigan game in there as well. So I guess
1:06.5	kind of why did you write this and what are your thoughts heading into these next two games? I mean,
1:11.5	obviously Miami's going to be favored by a lot. A lot of people are expecting wins. So is this really
1:16.3	about just playing the young guys? I think so. I mean, obviously, you know, Miami has to handle the
1:22.6	game in order to do that. And the sooner they do that, the better, to be honest, because that means
1:28.1	more snaps for these younger guys. But I kind of wrote that just because, you know, Miami started
1:34.1	the season with two power five opponents. And for the most part, the playing rotation was kept
1:39.9	tight, which I agree with. I mean, the coaches need to play who they trust in those two,
1:44.7	two games. And, you know, it's not a time necessarily to throw inexperienced guys out there
1:51.1	and get their feet wet. But these next two weeks are that kind of time to do that. And it's important
1:57.0	to develop depth for the upcoming ACC run that follows Bethune and Central Michigan.
2:04.4	So, you know, I think me, what I'm looking at specifically, to be honest, is developing more
2:13.4	defensive line depth. I do think it's a strength of the team. And I do think they've kept things really tight on the defensive line depth. I do think it's a strength of the team.
2:18.5	And I do think they've kept things really tight on the defensive line with snaps
2:23.1	through these first two weeks.
