Florida State Smokes Virginia 34-14

PrintThe Florida State Seminoles passed their second road test of the season, beating Virginia 34-14. It wasn't even that close, as FSU led 27-0 at the half and out-gained Virginia 298 to 42. Virginia came out firing in the second half, but the game was never seriously in doubt.
Defense keyed the 'Noles hot start to the day, opening the game with 7 straight punts forced. Five of Virginia's first seven drives gained fewer than one yard. The defensive line was dominant, led by defensive tackle Everett Dawkins. The secondary provided tight coverage too. Virginia's run game could never get anything going as the 'Noles kept good leverage on the ball and controlled the line of scrimmage. Florida State had only one badly blown coverage, and the referees did an awful job letting Virginia hold on an insane number of passing plays. Virginia scored a touchdown when the backups were in the game to cut FSU's lead to 34-14. Florida State finished with two interceptions on the day and pushed its NCAA lead to 25 sacks, tallying 6.
The offense didn't look great to start, but it did kick into gear. Jermaine Thomas ripped off a 70-yard TD run to make it 10-0. FSU had nice blocking on the edge and Thomas took the outside zone play to the boundary to the house. FSU had offensive drives of 59, 70, 87, 55, 14, 31, 11, 31, and 80 when the starters were in. Ponder hit Willie Haulstead on a beautiful throw to the endzone off a pump fake. Haulstead had a big day and it looks as if Christian Ponder now trusts him as a viable third option. FSU ran for 261 yards on the day and threw for 171. It was a good but not great effort for FSU's offense. And the offense did not commit a turnover.
This was a good win for FSU as the 'Noles took care of business against an inferior opponent.
Unfortunately for the 'Noles, FSU lost starting linebacker Mister Alexander to a concussion and lost reserve corner Lamarcus Joyner to an ankle injury. Florida State is now 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. The 'Noles face Miami next week at 8 PM.

thats what I was wondering. is there some rule where he is automatically out because of
the concussion?
First prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.
The rule is you cannot reenter a game

probably a wait and see I assume until he can get a thorough diagnosis
If it is low-grade he could be cleared by Thursday or Friday.

We cna use this one
This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.

With six sacks
FSU now after five games has four more than all of last year.
Not bad for a defensive scheme not predicated on blitzing the QB.

I couldn't help thinking
as I watched the game, that our team is so much better than last year. Currently the execution may not be dramatically better, but the defense is playing with organization and purpose. We’ve got a lot of young guys on the field, and so many of the young guys are getting valuable experience— in 24 months we won’t even understand how we could have been so bad in 2009.
Are the refs intentionally handicapping the games?
The last three games against inferior opponents the refs have completely turned a blind eye to our D-Line getting held. There was also a sideline run by Thompson when he was brought down by what should have been a 15 yard face mask.
Ya, the non holding calls were driving me mad.
Also we STUFFED their RB on that 4th and 1, no way he got that, ridiculous.
Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

Yeah that was garbage...
I wouldn’t object if they had at least measured, but they didn’t even measure— indicating it wasn’t even close, thus the officials are saying “it’s a clear first down”. The replays looked very convincing that it was more likely short than not.
I believe the standard protocol for all major conferences is to automatically replay ANY 4th down that is remotely close.
It’s on the replay official to make that call, not the ones on the field. I was waiting and waiting for him to buzz the refs on the field. We just can’t seem to get a full crew that doesn’t have something against us :(

Love his tenacity! Guy brings it! He could improve his coverage, a little more weight and he could be a heck of a LB.

Yeah, it looked like he completely missed the guy...
Although he does need to learn not to lead with his head.
YES!
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that call was a crock. There’s no way in hell he got that 1st down -not a chance in the world.
K. Simth was the one who stuffed their RB. He seems to have improved greatly.

Or get rid of the Michigan game on ESPNU. ACC and SEC games should trump all other games on tv here unless it is an elite match up like Oregon and Standford.

I can’t stand watching this Wisconsin game. How the hell they are rated #11 is beyond me.
Christian
He had some great throws in the first half, got great zip on the ball. However i d still like to see him go through more of his progressions and spread the ball around like last year. I suspect the arm bruise is affecting his deep ball among other things. The passing game flow just hasn’t been their quite yet, but with the running game doing so well we dont need to pass it often.

Any chance it becomes great?
I only ask because I have ponder as my fantasy QB and 14 a week wont cut it. All his throws down field today seem tentative. Almost like he doesn’t want to overthrow the receiver to the point that he tends to slightly under throw them. It happened today with the Haulstead go route. I’m just wondering if I should look elsewhere for a solution at QB or ride this ‘getting acquainted’ period out.
I don't know as much as lot of the others who read/post here,
but it doesn’t seem too likely that we’ll have a great passing game for the majority of the rest of the year. Our schedule seems to get more difficult, and for whatever reason, it looks like we’ll struggle, or be inconsistent in the passing game.
Honestly It wasnt even good I would say average at best.
He would have been picked off 3 times at least in the first half against a decent defense. He floated the ball on the deep plays(maybe his arm still hurting) .CP7 is the man but he needs to stop trying too force the play .
class of 99
Hes under throwing most, if not all deep passes.
Whats wrong with him this year?
First half was great
Didn’t think Jimbo managed the second half well. And Ponder seemed out of gas. Don’t know why EJ didn’t see PT earlier.
Accountabilty is back in Tallahassee....
makes us look a lot better
If OU stomps texas. Wondering how good we are in that case. Maybe OU was just a whole lot better than anyone could have thought. From the looks of it legit NCG caliber team right now especially with that no huddle until someone figures out how to slow them down.
handicapper extraordinaire Phil Steele has been high on Oklahoma since preseason.
called last year a fluke of bad injuries and luck for the sooners, and put them in this year’s BCS title game
First prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.
Ok has a lot of talent on offense...
We took a very young team of players to Norman. Basically that was our team’s (players and coaches together) first game against a D1 opponent.
Oklahoma had an off-year last year, but has been one of the best college FB teams over the past 5 years, while we have been a marginal bowl team. I’ll bet we see Oklahoma do well this year, as you’re suggesting.
Also, as we all know, their head coach is our DC’s brother— all I’m saying by that is that Oklahoma ought to have a great idea as to what is likely to work against a team playing its second game under a Stoops defense.
Man
if the defense plays like this…we certainly have a good shot next week….granted miami is better offensively and has more weapons…but Jesus..they had 12 penalties for over 100 yards today against Clemson….and Harris threw 2 more INT’s…

He will torch VT's scheme
They play a lot of man and blitz for pressure, often opening up lanes QBs can scramble out of if you move fast enough. With a short QB like Wilson you want to get pressure up the middle and have the DEs keep contain because he will not be able to step up and constantly deliver an accurate ball. Our D is much better suited to face him than VT’s. Same for Clemson’s D.

I continually have to remind people...
We only won 6 games last year and had to win two out of the last three. Nice to be 4-1 with a chance to win 7 or eight games.
Offense looked very much in control against a very good and under rated defense. UVA can play defense. Also, our D is improving and hitting really nice. No way he got that 4 and 1. Completely beat down by Smith!

by Dr.KennethNoisewater on Oct 2, 2010 4:33 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree with your point,
our schedule was a bit harder in the first 6 games last year, and I think Miami is better this year.
I think we’re making some progress, but we’re young, far from elite, and we’ve got the hard part of schedule coming up. There may be some lessons coming— some good (like UNC last year), and some painful (like Clemson last year).
I’m on the wagon that’s expecting us to be significantly better within 2 years, I hope that one doesn’t flip!
K. Williams
I saw him play last weekend against LGHS. The team looked terrible but man that kid did everything. He even lit up a running back that, as far as I know, has never been hit and dropped cold before…He is the real deal.

Seriously
The Coastal was “supposed” to be the better conference. GA Tech, Va Tech, UNC and Miami, compared to FSU and Clemson in teh Atlantic. As of now, Miami is the best and pretty much only good team in the Coastal, whereas Clemson, FSU and NC State are all doing pretty well.
by RoyalOaksNole on Oct 2, 2010 6:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed.
When UNC gets sanctioned, Duke and UNC will be weak teams for years. UVa is likely in there as well…
Also, if you play Ga Tech every year, perhaps you get better at dealing with their offense— if you know you’re going to play an option offense every year, perhaps you can scout it better, and your players can learn how to defend against it.
Oregon’s coach just guaranteed that none of his player’s know where they are ranked.

First, Miles buyout is like $13 million. LSU doesn’t have the cash to buy him out. Second, Peterson of Boise State seems to be a popular target for a variety of teams to discuss. What makes anyone think he’ll do any better in a BCS conference than the current Colorado coach, Dan Hawkins, who came from Boise State? He upset Georgia Saturday, but he will still probably get fired at the end of the year. What former Boise State coach has fared the best in a BCS conference? Probably Houston Nutt, now at Ole Miss. Do LSU fans want to pay 13 million-plus for a Houston Nutt? Not likely. Tiger fans better hope Les Miles remains lucky, or that some school with deep pockets comes along and bails them out by hiring him.
I LOL'd...

Good call on the score,
Did you predict one of our previous games this year pretty close too? BYU perhaps?
Good for you, man.
We should go to Vegas someday. You can win money, and I can tell you that I’m one player away from winning money.

How on Earth
do you run a running play on the goal line, with no time-outs, with 20 something seconds left, and NOT HAVE A PLAN in case he doesn’t get in? That is absolutely mind boggling.
it's lester what do you expect?
The end of the game against Auburn the year lester’s team won it all with like 3 loses sum’s up his time at LSU perfectly.
Seriously!
This is like the 3rd time he’s failed EPICALLY at end of game management. And some LSU fans actually say they’re happy Jimbo’s gone. Yeah, okay.
I've said it once and I'll say it again
The SEC is the only conference that gets credit because its teams dodge bullets. That game will go down as another great example of conference strength, when in reality LSU is highly overrated and almost gave a game away to less than stellar Volunteer team.

Wake Forest 2006
5-0 then lost to Clemson and Virginia Tech before beating Ga Tech for the ACC Title.
Beat FSU 33-0 in Tallahassee.
But the conference is different now that FSU has their defense again. With Wake, Clemson, and BC struggling, if we can be 5-0 before the UNC game, we can afford 1 lost, and still be headed Charolette….
to head to Miami/New Orleans.
no doubt, record wise we are right where i expected us to be
now were going into the real meat of our schedule
Indeed
We’ll see where we really are in the next few weeks. UM, BC, now NCSt, UNC, Clem are all losable games, if we don’t play well. I still think 3-2 there, beating Mary and losing to uf (= 8-4 regular season) should be acceptable to us. That should give us the division and a solid 8 wins (with 2 more possible wins in the ACC CG and bowl).
Admittedly, losing three of the last seven games would feel like a let down, but we really do have a tough road coming up. I still feel 8-4 would be a solid improvement and show we’re heading in the right direction. Anything above that will feel great, though.
Thoughts on our record over the next 5 games??

A strong UGA could as well
in theory. If someone could ever put a wall around the state that school could be a monster. But it will be hard to do that being the 3rd or 4th best program in your conference and once FSU gets rolling again you are splitting your backyard with a team that will go to more BCS bowls than you.

I think Smart could
at least for a while. He is actually from the part of Ga we get kids from. The hometown advantage could cost us until kids see that they will go to BCS bowls with us and be the 4th pick for bowls with UGA. But if Smart went there and turned them into true rivals for Bama and uf we would be in trouble.
I have doubts about Muschamp just because I don’t think you have to fight as hard to get kids to go to Texas. So I don’t know if he and his staff would be ready to go 12 rounds with uf, Bama. USCe, Auburn and us for every single kid he wants.

makes them more of a challenger for Fla kids. There really aren’t any pro-UGA parts of the state.

I hope so
But I’m trying to remember that 8-4 looked about what we should be this year. That way, if it happens I won’t be disappointed. But if we do win 10… well, I’ll be quite ecstatic, thank you very much.
8-4 did look about right in the preseason
when most thought our defense would at best crack top 50. Our Defense is alot better than just about anyone on here expected and at this point is the strength of the team or atleast is playing the most consistant. 3 loses now sounds very reasonable.
Flip side though
our offense is performing below expectations. I still think 8-4 would be a successful season, we haven’t really beaten a solid team yet.
Yah I was just going to say I don't know if I agree with the logic
I don’t think our defense is as good as people think it is. We’ve played some pretty subpar opponents. I think we’ll know a lot more after the UM game. It is comforting to see that we are much more sound than last year.
I am worried about the passing game. It still seems like we’re working to hard to sustain drives. I don’t think I’ve seen us get into a good rhythm since the first drive of the OK game.
true that..
But I think if/when we get Datko back our Offense will be much better. Also you cannot completly judge our offense b/c jimbo is spending alot of time working on our “weakness” instead of sticking with what works. We also have the #1 offense in the ACC as per fox sports.
I think you are mostly right
Jimbo is def “working” on things. Datko is a big piece to the offensive puzzle. Getting him back is big. Plus I think the young WR’s are developing with each game played. I beleive the passing game improves with each game.

It didnt take long
but I finally understand what UF fans felt like when we were dying with Bowden, wanting him gone, but worrying that loyalty (here, I believe Urban is butt buddies with Stevie) will keep the needed change from happening.

Anyone want to bet which gator will cry at the end of the game?
My money is on Meyer.
I think Mark Richt is done.

kind of a shame really...
I mean, part of it is that if he loses his job, he’s losing a good job, and to at least some degree it’s because his best receiver thought it was okay to sell his bowl jersey for $1000+.
Note to self: don’t let career hinge on some moron wanting to sell his shirt for $1k.

Their game thread.
Some my personal favs
So long, Richt. It’s been real.
I dont think we can beat anybody all year.
We just lost to the worst of the Big 12. All is lost. Threr is not more life here.
Goodbye Richt…I was with you until the very end. The end was about a minute ago.
It’s official, THE MARK RICHT ERA is over….
He’ll finish the season but he’s done…. You know it, I know it, and how about all those Dawgs with those condos up in Estes Park & Coiorado Springs, they know it…Man, there’s gonna be some property destroyed tonight.

I dunno...
I’m not trying to be the defender of Richt, but it seems to me that in the college game teams don’t tend to do well when the HC is fired midseason.
Even in our dark moments last year, I doubt we would have come out better by having that type of change happen midseason, with a record of 2-4, for example.
agree
i dont think they are as bad as their record indicates. They certainly have shot themselves in the foot many times this year.
That's a sign of bad team.
Good teams don’t do that as consistently as UGA has. They may have talent but they’re not good.

Not a big fan of the polls actually…but I would think they’d be at least #25 if not higher.
yup. 26 now. Penn St. and NCSt will be exiting.

I've heard a few "experts" say
We are much better now than when we went to OU. If you go by resume only, we’ve been more impressive than a lot of other ranked, 1 loss teams.

If we beat UM
I think we deserve to be ranked.
If not, perhaps we’re in the 20-40 range in terms of rankings— a good couple of weeks gets us into the low 20s, but we’re likely in the top third or so, of D1 teams. Seem reasonable?
Very reasonable
I just think we should be ranked based on they wall the pollsters have voted thus far.

I fon't care about the polls
Why I do care about is:

2. WIN THE ATLANTIC
3. WIN THE ACC
4. BEAT UF AND END 6 YEAR LOSING STREAK
5. WIN OUR BOWL GAME

I don't care about the polls either
But it would be nice for a team with a top 25 resume to be ranked in the top 25. I don’t think anyone is going to want to beat Miami (or accomplish any of the goals you listed) any less because we’re number 22, or whatever it may be, in a few hours.

Yeah
In the past decade, entering the rankings hasn’t been very good for us. It’s a new era and all, but I’d rather stay under the radar another week.
Same here.
I’d be perfectly fine going into every game unranked.

I only want to be ranked if we deserve it and I think we do.
Are there really 25 teams with a better resume than ours?

FSU 23 - Miami 21
Yes
I’m a little concerned about the UM game, though. Our D is better than it was vs. OU, but how much so? Can we limit the big plays enough against a more talented UM team (than we’ve been beating lately) to allow our offense (which has seemed a bit off several times this season) to outscore UM? We can definitely win… but we could also lose. I’m hoping for the former, obviously.
it's like a video game
there back has over 200 yards rushing
I gotta say
I love watching them. High powered offense, tons of swagger and style, awesome fans and stadium, hilarious mascot. Very entertaining. And I know most disagree, but I dig the wild uniforms. Don’t want it for us, but it’s really become their “thing”
Alright, fans just lost some points
for some of them rushing the field for winning when they’re ranked #4. You should’ve won, get back in the stands.
I agree with everything you just typed.

FSU Defense 2010: Taking back 1st down.
Encouraging
Miami loves deep drops and throws, we get some pressure and he could make some patented terrible decisions. They don’t do the same things that OU does that exposed us.
Shot a Gator in Jean Shorts just to watch him die.
Hypothetical question
Say FSU wins out. What’s they’re ranking at the beginning of next year? I think, if FSU wins out, Bama plays Oregon for the Nat’l Championship FSU will be a top 10 team, possibly top 5 if teams such as TCU, Boise, Stanford lose. Food for thought.
Wins out means 13-1
Next season we’d be top 3 based on hype alone.

If we win out and beat Forida and possibly a rematch again UM in the ACCCG
We have a good shot at the National Title. We would jump Boise, TCU, and Oregon in the BCS just from sheer SOS especially since we would have a quality win in a Conf. championship game.
Unfortunately Bama probably has their way with us ;-)

No one is smoking anything
I’m simply addressing a hypo. IF we win out, what happens next season?

Winning out means results over process.
At any rate, it doesn’t matter because it’s not happening.

FSU Defense 2010: Taking back 1st down.
yes
Ponder was able to step up too and that is on the guys in the middle. All around a bit better play from the line. Going to be interesting to see what the line up is for this coming week.
I think Fisher went back to, ‘work on stuff’ after FSU had a comfortable lead. Last field goal we kicked. 5 opportunities in close (offsides penalty) and 4 passes, 1 run. We could have smashed that in if we wanted to. Wonder if Fisher was just trying to get Ponder another TD pass. That or the ‘work on stuff’ mentality. Maybe both.
FSU Football, making bad teams look bad since 2010.
