I had said if we hold them under 40 and score at least 2 TDs (given our personnel) we had to feel pretty good.

I don't feel all that upset after this loss. Wish we could find that red zone efficiency and eventually I think we will.

Both QBs looked pretty good, each had one really bad mistake. RBs looked good. More Ish please.

I'd be surprised if FSU repeats. Will be an interesting game for them next weekend.

Must win for SU next week. Onward..

FSU coughs up the ball a lot. If that's a real thing, that will cost them eventually but it might just be luck

Yep, stat on the tv said they were +17 last year and -2 this year.

That's huge and could be a killer.
 
FSU played with an edge and controlled rage they just don't have this season.

So does ND. There will be a lot of balls on the ground next week. I assume you'll be booking a flight?

Unrelated to anything, these cowbells need to be banned. I want to watch this game, but it sounds like when the cicadas were out. If we ever play there, I'll pass on that roadtrip.
 
120 rating for kids in first game against #1. Very encouraging. 120 is about as good as it gets for hunt
He also passed the punter and is now the leader in the clubhouse for TD passes this year.

Today was what bad QB play should like like, not the disgrace we have been witnessing.

I'm not really upset about the loss, but we missed some big defensive plays and didn't show well in the red zone. We're going to need to improve in these areas in order to consistently be better than our peer schools in the ACC.

Gotta be happy about the change in the way the O looked. Looking forward to what they show during the second half of the year.

Agree on FSU, I think they make the playoffs, but I think I've seen a few better teams in the 3:30 games alone.
 
I am honestly impressed with the effort today. I thought with all the distractions this week and losing Hunt, today would be a complete and utter blow out.

Yes we lost, but I was impressed with the play calling on offense (for the most part) and the play of our true freshman QB.

Yes we are on a 4 game skid but I think there's time to turn some things around.
 
first time I ever left early feeling good and hopeful for the future. Lots of positive to take out of this. What a difference a week makes in terms of mindset. We win 2-3 more with this crew, at least.

When I played high school lacrosse my coach would also use the term, "we didn't lose, we got beat."

I think applies for today, we played as good as I think we could have hoped. Yeah, the missed interceptions and red zone needs to get better, but I think we played well all things considered. Just too much talent on the other side of the ball to overcome.

We got in the endzone, we got turnovers. Moral Victories.
