Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 801968, member: 2585"] Unlike the Clemson game, where hope ran wild in our first ACC game at home - we're eyes wide open about what we're up against. That's a good thing. Low expectations can be fun. Here's how I'm looking at it: [B]The Miracle[/B] There's this small glimmer of hope deep down where the reminders of Nebraska and Louisville (Grob days) reside. Anything can happen - but this is the last I'll speak about it even during the game. I will not utter a single word about actually winning here or to my family on game day, even though I'll be secretly holding out hope. I'd advise all to do the same. Candle light vigil, don't talk in the library, and don't fart in church - type quiet. [B]The Jay Bromley Watch[/B] This unheralded kid from NY gets picked up after a high school all star game and is now a complete monster. He'll face a really good offensive line this week. I'm looking for at least 3 hits on Winston and a sack. [B]The Beat The Spread Win[/B] Can we cover? 38 points is a lot. Our defense has been very good the past two weeks. I'm not thinking we score very many points, but can we hold them? [B]The Delaware Express[/B] I love this kid. Jerome is a great ambassador for our program. That being said, I'm looking for him to run over some FSU defenders, bring some NE football to FL. I think victory is a 100+ or 75+ and a couple of FSU safeties on their backs asking for the trainers. [B]The Cool Kid[/B] I think he'll be amped for a game in FL. He's recruiting against these programs, and will want to win. How does he do it? Does he get exotic? Does he pound Jerome? I'll be interested to see how he tries to attack them. Recruits will be watching. [B]The Bruised Loss[/B] I know this about Shafer: he will make sure FSU "feels" this game on Sunday morning. I want big, nasty hits and audible "oohs" from both fan bases in the stands. I don't think the D will stop trying to hit like we hit, even if we're down 50. I don't think they give up. I don't want to see FSU (or any team) get injuries to their best players - and Winston needs to play for this team to bring home the BCS championship - so no catastrophic injuries to any players would be awesome. But I want to hear quotes from their players about how hard we hit. [B]The Make ESPN Shut their Pie Holes Win (or The Suck It Cohen Win)[/B] I'm so sick of hearing about how BC is back and they're a team to watch and Addazio is a genius. It's all based on winning close games vs bad opponents and losing pretty to good teams. They may be the new Rutgers. That said - we need to snag some of these headlines by keeping it close and into the 2nd half, followed by a Diomand Ferri like soul crushing win against them at the dome to get to 7 wins. Extra bonus if they don't make a bowl game. Any other "wins" this week? [/QUOTE]
