FSU opens -4.5….

I mean. We went from demanding coach be fired after Rutgers to thinking 10-3 and winning the ACC after Liberty.
I feel like you are exaggerating the board's expectations after Liberty. Most of what i've seen here this week has been a lot of believers in a 6 win season. Not too many with higher stated expectations.
I'll admit, I still believe we go 12-0 once it comes out that the B1G officials collided with Schiano and Rutgers is forced to forfeit!
 
I'm not sure this is true. FSU has a hell of a running back and if the pressure doesn't get to milton then he has the arm to pick apart soft zones. I think the heat will slow down our pass rush a bit.

This is maybe the worst FSU team in decades. I think they have pieces for sure but they aren't a good team. We need to come out and punch them in the nose w a long Tucker drive and then see what they're made of.

My expectations have stayed the same. I'm just seeing a winnable game which we usually pencil in as a L when we see FSU on calendar. To get to 6 we need to find the winnable ones and win them. I think my expectations of FSU and WF switched places in the past month
 
On ACCN they stated a fact.
Dino is something like
62-1 when leading after the 1st Quarter. Maybe i heard it wrong but it was a crazy stat.
In this game a fast start is important. Dont give FSU any hope. They are going to come out hot. Lots of fireworks. 0-4 and fighting like crazy. Survive the first half and we win going away. Dont give up the long score. You know that after seein chestnut get beat deep they will be giving him plenty of double moves early. We need to make them earn it. DBs have to keep everything in front.
Might be wrong but Dino strikes me as the type of coach that either figures out the correct game plan ahead of time or not and can't adjust. This statistic would back that up.

That seems like a logical assessment.
 
We can’t score points at the rate I think we need to beat FSU. We stagnate for long periods of time which is not a good formula playing against a team with superior athletes
They scored 17 against Jacksonville state, they most certainly are not a high octane offense…
 
While I think we could use a huge infusion of talent. I think coaching on the offense side of the ball is just not good.
The coaches should have enough talent to a functional offense. We don’t. If we don’t run the ball and shorten the game we won’t beat any ACC teams.

We need to be able to throw the ball. I expect FSU will get chunk plays against us. That is why I don’t see it close.

I don't expect them to, because our defense has been good all year.

Their offense sucks -- can't afford to give up long plays. Haven't done it all year, and can't do it tomorrow.

Agreed if we grind and they chunk we lose this dance contest.
 
uh huh. watch us make them look like nebraska in the late 80's early 90's
Not sure why you think Syracuse would if Jacksonville State didn’t. Syracuse has a top 25 defense, Jacksonville state, well… doesn’t.

I feel like this

Yeah, that's what I've observed.

You can't reference Jacksonville State and ignore Notre Dame. Is Jacksonville State's defense better than them too?

This won’t age well. Their OL is not good, at all.
