I watched most of the 1st qtr of the NC St vs. FSU game.

NC St on D:  Blackman was a dear in headlights.  I was very surprised FSU came out throwing from the start.  Blackman wasn't effective early on.  It seems FSU wanted to take advantage of the NC St DBs, they just didn't have the QB to do it.  FSU 3rd down efficiency was only 4 of 14.  Furman did better 8 of 16, so did Marshall 6 of 15.  I would contend that FSU with an experienced QB beats NC St this past weekend.

NC St on O:  their offense is 3 players, Finley the QB (weighs 205), Hines RB (weighs 197), and Samuels WR.  The QB never ever runs with the ball.  Hines and Samuels are both fast and seem to play smart.  Finley has not thrown in INT this season, they have a total of 2 fumbles in 4 games (b0th in game 1).  When they play us they will have not lost the football in a month.

This is a completely different kind of test from LSU.  NC St looks like a well coached team with a few players who are special.
