40+ offensive points in game 1 vs what should be a solid defense is an ambitious goal. Y’all had a hard enough time doing that to a terrible Florida st defense in the final game last year, but Miami isn’t sec, which is where your offense really struggled last year, so maybe it happens.

Personally, I'm calling for a blowout. You have an SEC Caliber HC with pretty much the exact same team from head to toe -- same OC, same DC (that he's had for years) with the same QB, almost the entire WR Corps, RB and some question marks on the OL. The defense has some new guys but they had been playing a lot last year and should fit right in with no problem whatsoever.
On the other side, you have a first year HC who has never run a team trying to fix an absolutely abysmal offense. Worst yet, he's not some QB guru or offensive coordinator, he's a defensive coordinator trying to run an offense. Kirby inherited a decisively better team for his first year than what Miami has at the moment.
Enos is a decent hire, but not an outstanding OC in his own regard -- anyone looks good at Alabama (including McElwain). Their DC has zero years of experience in P5 as a DC.
Florida has more experience, talent and cohesion on its team. It would be a serious indictment against Mullen if he couldn't beat a team that's pretty much in shambles with a first year HC.

Yeah, Dan Mullen is a literal QB Guru, might even be one of the top 3 in the country considering what he's had to work with. Dan Enos is good, but that QB room is diggity dogshit.
As a team they hit 51.1% of their passes. Just for reference, Florida lost its HC halfway through 2017 and had to play Feleipe Franks after Del Rio, Trask and Zaire all got hurt -- with its HC being Randy fricking Shannon and still managed to get to a 55% completion rate.
It'd be a miracle if Miami kept it close.
