If Duke can play competitively against FSU

[SWC75]

...why can't we? Did they really have more talent this year than we did? :noidea:

From someone I know who watched our game in Tallahasee, on the field, the answer is "Yes". We were out of our league. Duke might have rung our bell this year. They aren't a fluke.

Maybe you should wait for duke to score before posting this

They can't. FSU literally looks like every player on the team is on 'roids.

We were down 0-38 at the half and 0-59 after 3.

That doesn't mean Duke is competitive

Duke is better than us. Their record and wins point exactly to this kind of result. Plus, this is not @ FSU and Duke has experience and better talent at QB.

Duke is better than we (SU) are, but not by much. This is a championship game so expect these young men to be a little too hyped up/ anxious /excited . FSU should overcome this. Duke will probably struggle in the second half.

The only reason Duke isn't getting blown out is because they're facing bizarro Jameis.

 

[PhatOrange]

Duke's a better team than us to but you also realize nobody competed with FSU this year right? Not Clemson, not Miami, not Florida.

Duke's not going to score either tonight so just how competitive are they?

 

[longislandcuse]

They can't. FSU literally looks like every player on the team is on 'roids.

FSU looks like the Monstars from Space Jam.

people, people, people... 31-0 lets relax Duke isn't better than us and FSU is one of the best teams assembled in the last 10 years.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Yup, Duke kept it close for a bit but FSU's nerves also bit them on some offensive series in the first half. This thing should have been over earlier than it was.

 

[SWC75]

FSU is now up 38-0. I still would have preferred that it took them this long to reach that level. We were out of ti from the national anthem.

Florida State's dominance is very interesting. They don't have trick plays or big plays they just grind you down. They score on you but it takes a while and it doesn't feel like you are being dominated, then you check and you're down 38-0.

I think this is the best college football team since USC had Leinart and Bush

They are the first FBS team to beat everyone they played by at least 10 points since Nebraska '95. Now THAT was a team!

No. since Miami 2001. Maybe better. Let's check NFL rosters in 10 years.

If Winston doesnt miss three wide open throws FSU would have been up by 21 in the first quarter. FSU is the best college football team i have seen in 10 years. They will beat Auburn by 14 or greater and could destroy them.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

45-7... Right in there.

I could see it. I really dont see Auburn running on FSU and if State gets a lead and Auburn has to throw to come back it will be a blood bath. Auburn is good and has speed which will help but if FSU is on i can see them taking care of business just like they have done against everyone else. 14 points seems to be a gimme

If they can't figure out how to stop that running attack it could look a lot like the SEC title game. One team's rushing vs. another team's passing and the running team usually wins.

Guys, Duke is better than we are...if they weren't, they wouldn't of been playing last night and we wouldn't be worrying about where our bowl game will be. They may not be better than us next year, but no doubt they are this year...
