Start 10 yards further up the field, finish drives twice as well, play two and a half times more efficiently, prevent any and all big plays, win the turnovers battle handily.

Damn, it's a wonder Miami didn't win by more than 24.

Miami's up to 16th in the F/+ rankings. That might not be a fluke. When the 'Canes get out of their own way (and they're doing a better job of that of late), they're pretty dangerous.
