Florida st. And V-tech game

[SoBeCuse]

Well the refs took away 7 points from FSU.

 

[Orangejet]

FSU going down tonight and great punt block by VT!

 

[SoBeCuse]

The "true" freshman from Purdue may be the best in the country...would love to have a recruiting class where we could say this about our true freshman

Yeah, he’s electric! I was watching that Purdue-Northwestern game. From Trinity H.S. in Louisville.

Well the refs took away 7 points from FSU.

And FSU special teams just gave away seven via a terrible punt unit.

New coach bringing a new discipline isn’t easy for some of the quick-twitch athletes recruited for a different coaching staff.

 

[SUskibum]

Could be another 55-42 game, but I’m not sure we end on top in this one.

If we can score 55 in 2.5 quarters against WMU on the road then we can score 55 in 4 quarters at home vs FSU

 

[Chip]

I think we should try to block a punt vs FSU. Swiss cheese protection.

 

[BlueShaq]

Can we borrow VT's secondary for the FSU game?

 

[skurey]

It won't be easy but FSU is a winnable game like last year.

 

[texasorange]

VT looks really good. I know it’s Taggert’s first year but I expected a closer game than what I’ve seen so far.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

FSU's D is soft

 

[JSOrange97]

BTW, no one has said it yet, but what’s the story with FSU uniforms? Doesn’t really “look” like FSU... same arguments made against our unis could be made here.

Oh, and VT looks really tough, especially on D. Yikes.

 

[shu 49]

As smart as tech is on defense they are as dumb on o. Run the damn ball. St couldn’t stop the run so they stop running. Duh.

 

[MadNY3]

It will be a close game...

 

[MadNY3]

It will be a close game...

We can be smarter and tougher than FSU in two weeks.

We certainly can’t be faster.

 

[BlueShaq]

FSU's skill players look good, but their OL still looks like a major weak point. Hopefully we can dial up some major pressures against them.

 

[JSOrange97]

43 takes a dive... running the Shafer playbook.

 

[Chip]

I'm sensing that the Florida State fans are unhappy about the Virginia Tech injuries.

#43, I mean come on.

 

[SoBeCuse]

FSU will move the ball plenty against most teams. This is a good defense in VT but I’m really liking Francois and their athletes.

 

[MadNY3]

43 takes a dive... running the Shafer playbook.

Think VA Tech learned from its 2016 loss to Syracuse how to slow down speed. That was unsportmanslike and I wouldn’t be shocked to see it called this year.

Agree. Could be a Slayton/Alton Robinson outcoming..

 

[SoBeCuse]

They should have 13 points. Refs missed a TD and a missed FG.

 

[sufan4eva13]

This FSU team has serious flaws on both sides of the ball, and a team clearly still learning their system. They also have obvious talent all over the field. This game is going to come down to whether FSU is as limited in their execution as they have been tonight, and whether we can execute to the degree that we did in the first half on Friday. If both of those happen, I think we win close. This FSU team looks ripe for the picking on a trick play.

 

[TheCusian]

FSU’s OL is bad. They were horrible last year and don’t look better.

Skill positions? Different story.

 

[Ish88888]

So far I’m seeing Bud Foster pretty much know Taggerts play calls. Vt is hitting the spots even before st is getting there. Offensively they are running all over st. This is defiantly a winnable game for us depending on the defense. No doubt we can score on these guys but can we know there offense as well as foster. Go cuse

It sure is winnable for us, Taggert is in over his head. Vt is just better and we have a legit shot.

 

[upperdeck]

FSU has great athletes, always do, never coached up all that well, but give them time and space and they kill you.
