The big writeup is still coming, but I'm not going to post it in pieces. 

Let's look at some user comments. 

A lot of users launched  full-scale indictments of the offensive coaching staff, questioning their qualifications and their job security.  

cfsu89q felt sorry for Bowden:

It’s time for coach Fisher to start getting the job done here. This is no one’s fault but his. I feel very sorry for the position that coach Bowden is in right now.

Honestly, if you want to blame a coach, blame Bowden.  Call him out for the ridiculous continued ramifications from his foolish, selfish decision to hire his son.  Take him to task for allowing what was the best program in America entering this decade, to fall so far.  Criticize him for not being involved in the program.  Bowden is a negative for the program now.  He can't be taken seriously.  Just because your record as a coach is one of the best coaches ever, doesn't mean that you are immune from criticism.  It is depressing that we are still trying to dig out of his mess. 

As for the qualifications of the coaches, Trickett has consistently produced good offensive lines and has an excellent reputation in the industry.  Several commentators noted that Saban wanted Fisher for 700K/ year.

I really can't blame Trickett for anything.  His guys aren't ready yet, and he doesn't have the benefit of time.  The guys we had playing offensive line last year were garbage.  Fans must remember that we are building for the future.  From what I saw, we will have a good offensive line soon, probably next year.  

Fisher deserves more blame.  I'll discuss this in the report card, but I didn't like the game plan.  There were several things he could have done better, and I'll talk about those. 

As for the QB's... after the jump.

Under Calvinandhopps had a decent take on the QB situation

was disappointed with game as well, but i did find some reasons to hope for more success latter in the season. Devo Richardson showed some glimpses of extraordinary athleticism. I think he brought an extra demension to the FSU offense, and frequently kept the defense on their toes.

The verdict is still out on Ponder. He started out so nervous and never seemed to find a good rhythm. Regrettably, there is only one way to get game day experience and that is…to play on game day. Hopefully they can continue to develop him into a good back up or starting quarterback.

The briggest bright spot of the game was that we were able to generate offense against one the best ACC teams. The simple task to work on going forward is reducing turnovers and minimalizing turnovers. Those things are a lot easier to work on than being faster or stronger.

Personally, I think this is spot on.  These penalties won't go away completely, but they should decrease some.  Surrency will learn what is and is not a legal block.

He clearly lacks the ability to evaluate the readiness of his players in that, for some reason unrecognizable to me, he chose to place two totally inexperience quaterbacks ahead of Drew Weaterford on the depth chart. It should have been quite apparent in practice which QB gives us the best chance to win. Trust me, I am by no means a Drew Weatherford fan, but has Weatherford ever player a game anywhere close to as poorly as the two that played last night? I think not.

I think he missed it here.  Weatherford would be eaten alive behind this young line.  He failed FSU for three years, and is not a legitimate option with this set of personnel.  Ponder & D'Vo's running accounted for 62% of FSU's total yards. 

User Andy_wooster is a consistent contributor to Tomahawk Nation.  He also went with the reserved approach.

 2. The offense cannot perform worse than they did. 7 turnovers and a crapload of penalties? It was the perfect storm of offensive incompetency. There’s nowhere to go but up. That may seem obvious, but my belief is that we won’t see an offensive performance anywhere near as bad again this year (and hopefully ever).

  3. The offensive line is super young. Barring injuries, this group could be together for the next three seasons (including this one). Trickett has an excellent track record, and I expect this group to steadily improve over the course of the season.

  Things look incredibly ugly right now, but the ship will begin to be righted with a victory over Colorado next week. All I ask is that the offense show a little progress in Jacksonville.

I'm not drinking the koolaid when I say I agree.  Chances are that the qb's won't throw more than 3 interceptions again this season. 

Several commentators, including beanballhall were livid about penalties.  Rightfully so. 

killed any chance of FSU getting an opportunity to win the game last night.  The team appears to play with no discipline.  Yes, I understand that we are missing several key starters, but come on...FSU has been playing this kind of football for several years.

The penalties were ridiculous.  The worst two were the Personal Fouls by upperclassmen Parker and Rolle. 

I will say that Surrency's two penalties aren't likely to occur again.  The coaches will instruct him on the legalities of blocking.  Markus White's "facemask" was a blown call by Jack Childress, who seemed to be a little flag happy on the night.

Offensive penalties wiped out four first downs and cost the 'Noles 91 yards (31 yards of gain erased, 60 penalty yards, for a total of 91).  More costly, however, was the ridiculous position that the penalties left the offense in. 

The 'Noles were in bad spots all night, which limited the available play calls and destroyed the offensive rythm. 

Finally, user turftoe took the receivers to task, rightfully so

The recievers are highly talented but can some one get open? It seemed like every reciever had a man right on him.

He is spot on with this.  The WR core was supposed to lead this offense, yet they were lackadaisical, ran consistently lazy routes, and committed stupid penalties.  Preston Parker is probably the goat of this game.  I'll give Surrency a bit of a pass.  He obviously didn't know the illegality of his actions.
