Also looking forward to the Miami/Clemson game.

I like the 3-4 against GT's option
looked good yesterday…don’t be fooled by the final score. UVa had guys in position all day to limit the option, they just had an obscene number of missed tackles. Those, the ridiculous TOP advantage caused by an inept UVa offense, and a few long bombs to Thomas bailed GT out.

Yeah, don't be fooled, it should have been much worse.
UVA sucks. I am laughing hard at anyone that goes to that school.

Won't argue that. I don't root for them.
But do you not like the 3-4 against the option?

Eh...... does UVA have an elite defensive line?
by FSUSOM on Oct 25, 2009 11:57 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No definitely not
But I’m thinking in terms of when FSU supposedly/hopefully starts running it. I think Kirby/Manny/whoever could definitely have one.

Have to have an elite NG to do it
defending the dive phase is impossible in the 3-4 without that.

Do you think an elite NG in 3-4 > 2 good DT's in a 4-3 against the option?
>>---l>
by DKfromVA on Oct 25, 2009 12:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The value of a 3-4 run right
Is that you create another opportunity to stop the run from the 2nd level (i.e., extra LB). As such, you want a NG that will occupy two OL. Having said that your two “DEs” in a 3-4 need to be able to stop the OG or OT from getting to the next level on a block.
IMO, a 3-4 really just messes with OL play, which against a run-oriented team like GT could prove very useful.
Right now I’d like to see FSU run a 3-4 (right now) with the following personnel: McCray at NT, Mcdaniel and Dawkins at DE, Bradham and Smith at ILB, Watson and Carr at OLB. Maybe use White as a rush LB in certain situations. He does have speed.

UVA's defense would have been better
but they were hindered by having to wear shorts that don’t make it to their knees and backwards hats that show their bangs.

Typical USF
Even Jesse Palmer during the USF/Cincy game made the comment that just because they beat FSU 1 time doesn’t mean they’ve arrived at the next level. He said they have to win something first..i.e…their conference.

USF has a yearly collapse that starts around the end of october.
if we scheduled them around this time it would have been a blowout.

Quick hit and run because I have to leave to go to the UM/Clemson game and I am already late.
GO CLEMSON!
I realize it is in our best interest for Clemson to lose. However since I can’t take UM being better than us, I had to get that out of the way now because I got the free tickets from some UM bud’s and I won’t be able to openly root against the scUM Thugs while at the game for fear of being stabbed or shot, especially since I will be sitting amongst them, although in the safer Alumni area.
While I will not be able to openly pull for Clemson, I will be doing so internally.
HYPOCRITICAL-YOU BETCHA AND PROUD OF IT.
GO CLEMSON!
Also USF is getting pounded by Dave Wannstache’s team 31-7-HAHAHAHA!

they look like they call butch davis for play calling advice everytime the get into the red zone
’we’re gaining 8.5 yards per carry running the ball, we’re at the 6, LETS THROW IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!’

Will UF score on Bama?
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Sorry bout that.
I pulled out the magic 8 ball, shook it real good and asked id the Tide will score at least one point against the Gators. The answer is “Yes, it is decidedly so” =) That game will be good. Seems like Saban got Butch Davis syndrome and decided that his power running game doesn’t work inside the redzone. I think he’ll change his play calling from here on out.

Bama played really flat today
they looked slow and beat up. The bye couldn’t have come at a better time for them.
He bleeds Garnet and Gold, She bleeds Crimson and White. AND THEY BOTH HATE ORANGE! GO NOLES!! ROLL TIDE!!

watching the OU-Kansas game
What a joke the Big 12 is. It’s all garbage. Even Texas is terrible. You watch. They’ll lose to OK State next saturday. The idea that it’s better than the ACC is hilarious….

Losing to Duke can’t help his cause. Too bad, if it happens as I like him. Plus, we have his/their number. Maybe Zorn could take over.

Not a shock.
Clemson seems to have some loyal fans, and there is, after all, an abundance of Miami fans, 99% of whom have no ties to the university.

I just realized Clemson plays a 1AA next week, so that’s basically two weeks to prepare for us. USF played three crappy teams before us, giving them at least three weeks to prepare. NC State has this week off, giving them two weeks to prepare. UF plays FIU before us, giving them more time (not that they need it).

If Miss State’s quarterback could throw to save his life, this might be a good game.

if only we had a D. Our O is good enough to play w/ anyone I watched today. Sadly I’m afraid we have yet to witness the bottom for our D. Spiller will go career and UF is gonna kill us.

did you hear the announcers after teabags pick six?
they managed to praise him for his ‘competitievness’ for wanting to score on that play even as theyre replaying it
even as he throws a pick-six they still find cause to slob his knob..

That fumble call on the INT
for TD that went in Floridas favor was one of the worst missed calls of the season. The replay was fairly clear that he was well out of the end zone when he lost the ball. Miss St has now played UF, LSU and Houston tight. Alabama needs to take them seriously in a couple of weeks.

In consectuve weeks the refs have hosed UF’s competition. I’m really beginning to think the fix is in.

I'm not saying we're ging to win, because I am not...
But the more I watch UF play, the less I’m convinced they are as good as I thought to begin the year. FSU gets them a week before they play Alabama in the SEC title game. It’s going to be much closer than any of us imagined. Very similar to the GT game…
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

That defense is amazing. They only allowed 6 points today!
by FSUncensored on Oct 25, 2009 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Still, I think our O is at least comparable to Arky
And they were able to move the ball most of the game I wouldn’t be surprised if we put up more points than anybody does against UF—and still lose by 3 scores
by kmpnole12 on Oct 25, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But they'll be focused for US
We’re not a letdown game. They are off a bye. They played Arky after playing @ LSU
Our offense is MUCH better than Arkansas, please don’t compare them to Arkansas ;)
I’ll say 52-27 UF
by FSUncensored on Oct 25, 2009 12:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Against that defense?
I’d say 52-14

I think their defensive line is very over-rated. They are playing a lot of man coverage and blitzing to bring pressure. If FSU can get open against man, I believe you will score some points. Your defense will be torn apart, though. Mickey Andrews will simply not adjust.

UM
I have to agree with Frank I am never going to enter any discussion and admit electronically, on paper or by voice that Miami is better than us. Enough here.
I said earlier in the year if FSU did not win 9 I would cut off one of my fingers yakuza style. I was lying I am not going to.
It was unnerving watching the Clemson offense. Parker is short 6-0 but he can really sling the football. A big aggressive front four could cause him some problems but we don’t have one.
I predict the UF game score UF 65, FSU 40
