PrintI was a guest on Allen Kenney's fantastic BlatantHomerism.com podcast to discuss OU. He asks me questions about Florida State and I come back at him with some regarding Oklahoma and its less than impressive performance against Utah State. We then break down the game. It's a full hour and I recommend you check it out.

Listened to this last night. Great stuff all around. I hope Jones locks onto some receivers this weekend and our cornerbacks can create some picks. People should also avoid watching the Adrian Taylor video you referred to. Shocked he made it back as well.

Nice I liked the last time you were on.
Btw, 5 of the 6 people that I have seen pick this game have gone with FSU
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!

Also the guy calling our game picked us.

Great Stuff.
Listening still now. OU is really running that much Nickel? Can’t help but think that will help FSU run the ball. Guess it will help cover the RB’s catching passes out of the backfield. Didn’t expect that.

Utah State ran almost all 4 and 5 wides
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.

So I guess they really had no choice but
to run that much nickle. Makes sense.

But 20 yards
a completion? With Nickle? Ruh Roh.

I meant for a team to force them to put an extra db in
That means they are playing to attack the weakness on the defense, rather than letting the defense play with personnel packages which feature more of their better players.
Right, got it now.
You are right. Smart of Utah State to exploit what they saw was advantageous match up.

Matters more per attempt not completion

True
9.5 ypa. But even that has to be encouraging.

Especially considering one has to assume CP7 is more accurate than who USU is throwing out there
Shot a Gator in Jean Shorts just to watch him die.
from what little
I saw the guy throws a nice ball. Just not sure his surrounding cast is all that great.

He was
17/36. That isn’t all that great. But the ones that were made went for big yards. Without seeing the game have to wonder if the incompletes were because of good coverage or because Utah State just isn’t very good. Or both.

Jones
was 17/36 (crazy same as Utah St QB) but went for 6 yards per comp.

You had a great call about FSU going 4 wide -- thinking our 3 & 4 WRs are better than OU's 3 & 4 DBs.
This could be a fun game.
I'll have our preview up this afternoon and it'll encompass much of it.

Punting 85 yards is good
But he better get the hang time too. Kicking for distance only leads to out kicking coverage. Be an interesting match up.

Had the same thought re: Clemson.
Their punter had a ridiculous day, averaged 50+ and had like a 79(?) yarder.
These guys better be careful about out-kicking their coverage, in the literal sense. Would love to see Reid with 10-15 yards of open space in front of him.
Saw him punt in fall practice
While I know it is only practice, he was absolutely crushing the ball. Huge hang times.

I liked him where he was last week.
On the bench. The whole game. Repeat? Nah, but it would be an awesome stat. Powell 0 punts for 0 yards over two games because all he has to do is sit on the bench and drink powerade.

Hey Bud
I really enjoyed it and as your counterpart said it’s amazing the knowledge you’ve amassed. I know it’s a lot to run a blog but it would be really nice to have an FSU podcast instead the general nationwide coverage out there. If I were starting an FSU podcast, you’d be my guy.
Back in Tampa and loving it. Now, time to do something about this gator problem.
Like a weekly one?

Sure
Maybe something for 30 minutes or just to update people on current topics and maybe a weekly guest like a fellow blogger on SB nation. Something like what you just did but with you as the moderator.
