I think it depends on if they are strong mentally or weak mentally.

If they are strong mentally then we want them to be 2-0 with hopefully some "overconfidence" and overlook us.

If they are weak mentally then we want them to be 1-1 because that will likely break their will, particularly as soon as they get down by 10-14 points in 1st half.

I actually think it doesn't matter though, because this is the game I have marked off as our marque win for the year and I don't give a damn what their record is.

1. They are in the dome
2. New Coach, new scheme, more thinking than playing (which is amplified by our pace)
3. Most of their veteran players will have their focus on the draft rather than the final year of a less than expected college experience
4. We will be relatively healthy after only playing 1.5 games.
5. The game will be Dungey's 19th in the system, well into the 2nd half of the 2nd season
6. This group of FSU players is used to seeing Cuse at game 8-11 when we have a skeleton roster, this crop of lads will surprise them
7. Did I mention the loud house? I'll be there with a screaming 13 month old! will you?
