Scouting FSU's Opponents: Week 5

PrintThis is a weekly feature on TomahawkNation.com in which we review the performances of each of FSU's upcoming opponents. I will not do game charts for games against D1-AA opponents. All game charts are non-garbage time only.
This takes a lot of work. I hope that your enjoyment of each game increases with additional knowledge of the opponent.
Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4
There were plenty of games to watch this weekend and I was able to take many of them in.
| Wake | BC | |
| Yards/Play | 6.2 | 4.1 |
| Plays | 63 | 82 |
| Wake outgained BC by 51% per play | ||
| Avg Field Position | Wake 21 | BC 38 |
Wake Forest beat the Boston College Eagles, 27-19. Wake only out-gained the Eagles by about 60 yards, and BC won the field position battle. But here is where we really see the value of yards-per-play, as Wake was much more effective on a down-to-down basis. Also, BC was terrible in the red zone, scoring a TD on only one of four chances. Wake's defense is nothing special, so this offensive effort at home by BC was terrible. Wake's offense, on the other hand, is pretty good and had several explosive plays, including two over 40.
Finally, BCI has its proposal for fixing Boston College football. I don't really agree with Brian's opinion of the program and think BC fans need to re-evaluate expectations a bit. I don't disagree that they should fire Frank Spaziani, however. For some comedic relief, read this piece by HD on whether Wake is a dark-horse contender for the ACC. Seriously.
| Duke | FIU | |
| Yards/Play | 5.9 | 6.9 |
| Plays | 65 | 82 |
| FIU outgained Duke by 17% per play | ||
| Avg Field Position | Duke 30 | FIU 21 |
The Duke Blue Devils beat the FIU Golden Panthers down there in Miami. This was a surprising result. And what a strange box score! How does that box add up to a 31-27 Duke victory? First, Duke cashed in its chances in the red zone while FIU did not. Second, Duke either moved the ball or it did not. The Blue Devils' worst failed drive was only 33 yards. FIU on the other hand had failed drived of 60 and 44 yards. The turnover battle was even too. Duke really put the bend in "bend but don't break" defense.
The Maryland Terrapins beat Townson, 28-3. I did not and will not watch this game, so Testudo Times' recap and game balls will have to suffice.
| GT | NCSU | |
| Yards/Play | 6.6 | 5.2 |
| Plays | 64 | 74 |
| GT outgained NCSU by 25% per play | ||
| Avg Field Position | GT 37 | NCSU 27 |
Georgia Tech beat the N.C. State team missing virtually all defensive players about like we expected, 45-35. N.C. State was again left to play offensive walk-ons on the defensive line. Yes, walk-ons who normally play offense were playing defensive line and attempting to defend the GT triple option. Here are your N.C. State thoughts. Pretty comprehensive there.
Tech actually held a 42-14 lead at one point int his game with 10 minutes left. After that, they seemed to really shut it down mentally and got a bit sloppy. Early in the game, though, I really thought the 19-play, 9-minute, 81-yard drive ending in no points for N.C. State really took the wind out of the Wolfpack's sails.
Miami defeated Bethune Cookman and it was a struggle for much of the game. This is the crowd at 12 minutes before kickoff:

How can Miami be making money here? Oh yeah, they were smart enough to flee the big east and cash in on that ACC contract.
| Idaho | UVA | |
| Yards/Play | 4.1 | 5.5 |
| Plays | 72 | 91 |
| UVA outgained Idaho by 34% per play | ||
| Avg Field Position | Idaho 31 | UVA 25 |
The Virginia Cavaliers needed overtime to defeat Idaho after jumping out to a solid lead and then playing poorly down the stretch. What an ugly game this was, as the teams combined to score a touchdown on only two of eight redzone trips. Yikes! UVA definitely outplayed Idaho in this one and had two drives of over 65 yards that did not end in points. I'm not sure what is going on, but UVA is rotating two quarterbacks. It doesn't really seem to be working and they didn't help as UVA was -1 in the turnover battle. Nole fans should still not see UVA as a threat and this should be a fine opponent for senior day come late November.
| Bama | UF | |
| Yards/Play | 5.7 | 4.3 |
| Plays | 65 | 52 |
| Bama outgained UF by 33% per play | ||
| Avg Field Position | Ala 36 | UF 24 |
And finally, the Gators. Alabama stomped UF 38-10 in the Swamp. It was the largest home loss for UF since the Ron Zook era. John Brantley sustained a severe high ankle sprain that will see him miss this weekend and perhaps the rest of October. UF's young secondary has some growing up to do, for sure. I think they'll get Brantley back after October and it is going to be very tough to evaluate this team as Driskel isn't anywhere close to being ready to win games for UF. Field position was huge in this one.

I’m not sure what is going on, but UVA is rotating two quarterbacks.
Nobody is. I was unfortunately subjected to that daycare fire of a game (copyright EDSBS). They bring in the mobile freshman Watford at inexplicable times and run the exact same offense as the immobile Rocco. It was a horribly painful affair for all involved.

I hope we get OUR QB back soon.
I saw Driskel come in and make that scramble. I think Ol’ Verney Lundquist creamed. Then I saw him get absolutely LIT THE F’ UP when he tried to run again…and I just about pulled a Lundquist myself.

Quick edit
Maryland played Towson University, not Townsend
I was at the game. UMD is not a good team this year. O’brien does not look the same as he did last year or week 1 against UM. I will be really surprised if we win by less than 14 that game.
Clark: Is it tough for you to watch? Have you sat down and watched any Maryland games or is it tough for you to do that. I know you love the kids, but I also know you’re a Maryland alum, and it’s got to be a little painful.
Friedgen: Well, it’s not painful because I watch it for the kids. I could care less about Maryland. I’ve burned my diploma. I’m flying a Georgia Tech flag right now.
I bet they're wishing they didn't fire him
They are down right awful! They wanted to make a splash and they make the hire they made…. I bet the Pirate would of at least won 3 games by now and not of been blown out by TEMPLE.

They would've been much better off keeping their HCIW, James Franklin.

I still remember arguing with foks on this very site about how Maryland was going to flounder as a result of these poor decisions. I was told that it won't matter because of all the money being thrown at them by their cash cow alum.
Well, in time, maybe. But like I predicted in the short-term, bad, bad idea.
Fridge may not be the most likeable guy in the world, but he should still be head coach of the Terps. I think they’d be better off right now with him than they are w/o him.

That attendance is just embarrasing.
We had more people still at the game in the 4th quarter of the 30-0 Wake Forest shutout in Doak. It was more over the fact that those of us remaining were cheering because it was the death-knell for Jeff Bowden, but that’s beside the point.

It was NOT a good night to be him. He was getting screamed at by boosters, all over. The look on his face was, “this ends and ends now.”
It wouldn’t have shocked me if I had heard he went straight to the locker room with pink slips, right then, to be honest.
It was hideous. I was embarrassed for him. Didn’t say a word, didn’t need to. I would have got hit for fifteen yards for piling on! Seems like a long time ago, now.

I went to the UM game.
They announced 40K but it was probably closer to 33-35K and it seemed like about 10K were BCU fans.
BCU outgained UM by almost 100 yards. BCU’s QB looked better than Jacory, but Jacory did manage to make it through the game without throwing an INT for the first time in a year.
It was actually closer than the score indicates and BCU was in it until they ran out of gas at the start of the 4th quarter. Funny thing is the natives were really getting nervous and there was some grunts and grumbling coming from the scUMers.

I hope you were at the game to make money Frank.
I would have rather watched the annual clash of the beavers between Minot State & Bemidji State.
Fun Fact: both teams have Beavers as the team mascot. I guess beavers are popular in the Upper Midwest. Bemidji’s beaver is named Bucky; Minot’s beaver is called Buckshot.
Yeah.
No, we got invited. Free tickets, free food, and free drinks on a beautiful Saturday afternoon watching some live football. I only went because the Fins were playing away on Sunday.
The only downside is I restrain myself and don’t badmouth UM in front of my host because it would be disrespectful, but they all know I’m a Nole. My g/f did make me proud a couple of times when she said that UM was really bad on several occasions.
>------::----::------->Spearing 'em and Scalping 'em like it's 1999

But you're right, a clash of the beavers does sound more entertaining.

We’re not going to get that version of Miami. We’re going to get their best shot. They will be in “save the season” mode by November, and only one thing will accomplish that.
And they will be playing in front of a packed stadium
(ours) for the last time until they play us in Tally again, with up to 100 potential recruits in the stands, (ours). Yeah, they will want this more than any game they have left. I agree that we will get their best. The Noles had better give the Canes their best as well. If they do, then we may put a wooden stake into the Canes for the foreseeable future.
We win this by 40 with Bert Reed at quarterback

I don't think Wake will win the Atlantic, but they will surprise people when FSU plays them
There QB Tanner Price will have a better career then RIley Skinner(who beat FSU and won the ACC in 2006)when it’s all said and done imo. They are very explosive on offense this year, and this is without there best player RB Josh Harris(One of the top freshman in ACC last year) breaking out like he did last year. Solid offensive line too.
Follow me on twitter for recruiting info http://twitter.com/MichaelatTN
They have also been incredibly lucky with who they’ve played and injuries.
BC missing 4 or 5 defensive starters. N.C. State the same.

They were also unlucky against Syracuse
Tanner Price got hurt and they quickly blew a 2 score lead. They should’ve won that game.
Agree 100%
Price was slinging the ball around beautifully. Then he gets hurt, and Statichaitis (I’m not even trying with spelling there) came in and threw an INT. It was miserable.
True, but Cuse was ALSO missing multiple defensive starters!

That was as the dark horse to win the division, wasn't it??
In what I read, she said Clemson and FSU were still the teams to beat, but they always pick a dark horse to mention and at this point it – the dark horse – seems to be Wake Forest sitting at 2-0. She doesn’t always say the best things – but the criticism she is getting for this seems a bit unwarranted – as if she just declared that she thought Wake was actually going to do it…
Not an opponent or conference team, but did anyone see this:

If you took the over...
You’d be assuming a loss to every team left on their schedule sans Furman. That’s dirty…
Captain...
In all fairness though – at 4-0, there were some (albeit not all) UF’ers out there who were saying they would hang with Bama and LSU in consecutive weeks, and be in a better position to beat FSU because of these two games. One game removed, we’ve seen them lose their QB to injury before playing another top 10 team the following week. Not to be overly critical, but UF fans bring this on themselves with their overly emotional attitudes toward their beloved chompers.
I honestly see no reason for labeling UF a favorite in any of their remaining SEC games. Not one. This – even on the heels of SCe playing like garbage against Auburn.

Well, I can agree that UF fans are idiots

I know they have a lot going against them, but I’m not exactly enamored with Auburn, Georgia, or South Carolina to date.

Auburn will be dangerous next year as their DL, DB's, and OL mature
they are much too young in those areas right now. They’ll only get collectively better at RB with Mason and Mike Blakely once he gets eligible next year. S.

BUT
That game is being played in the “loveliest village on the plains.” Auburn has a way of playing Florida tough there, even when Auburn isn’t real good and Florida is. The last time that Florida went up there, they were ranked number 2 and would be the eventual national champion. But in 2006, Auburn got them up there. Auburn got them up there in 2001, as well, when they UF was unbeaten and ranked number 2, I think.
Point is, if Auburn can get them up there, when UF is good, why can’t they get them up there, when Florida isn’t?
Going into this season, most people would have said that South Carolina was going to be better than UF, agree? And Auburn just got them, in Columbia.
I do think that Florida has a better roster, 1 thru 95 or so, but I’m not so sure that’s going to carry the day in that one. Hope not anyway ;-)

Sorry to disagree with the Head Chief on this one...
…but I’m going to take Auburn in a close contest.
Suggestion for the site:
I think there should be some type of box at the very top of the homepage with very concise headlines about FSU sports (and maybe stuff on rivals also).
For example, the box might currently list bullet-points with links to the following stories: Brantley suffers high ankle sprain, out for LSU; FSU at Duke TV affiliates; Link to Jimbo Fisher press conference; FSU ranked 22nd in Coaches poll.
I realize a lot of this can be gleaned from the TN twitter, but a lot of people don’t really like to search through all of the information on there (even if much of it is interesting) just to see the basic, most important stories. The box should also list the scores of all FSU football, Men’s Basketball, and baseball games. I remember last year having trouble finding out from TN how FSU had fared in a weekend baseball series.
I’ve told a lot of people about TN and some of them now read the site regularly. The biggest complaint I hear from people who don’t get hooked is that the site is too hard to navigate. I think having a really simple box like I described would keep those people from going back to a site like Warchant.

I will personally bring up your suggestions to Bud if he doesn't address it at our next staff meeting which is scheduled for the Friday before the NCST game in Tally later this month.

Love the Saban is smiling as he get tossed into the turnbuckle.

Looks more like when Muschump lifts his leg at that end he's letting out gas
Saban must have decked him pretty good. Or that’s some kind of wrestling counter I’m unfamiliar with.
"I spent 90 percent of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted!"
Who is that in the front row?
And I’m not sure which Saban vs UF Coach is better.

Correct, Sir Trick.

OT: Rushing game
Prior to OU and CU, FSU had not gone w/o a rushing TD in back-to-back games since ’07. Lowest RushTD total thru 4 games (3) since ’07 (4).
What are you glorifying with your life?
OT????
The running game is the ONLY topic.

We rushed well against WVU in the Gator Bowl didn't we?!
I’m still mad about the running game! Hopefully it’ll get better.

Holy hell. Is heather serious?
“with their 27-19 win against Boston college… They have asserted themselves as part of this year’s Atlantic race”
“with their 27-19 win against Boston college”
“Boston college”
I wish I were that seat cushion
It’s really amazing how bad BC has gotten and how overblown HD has made Wake after that game. Neither team is that good, though they do seem to be passing each other in different directions. I believe Wake has a fairly young team that looks like it can be good again in the future. BC has some talent but lack the skill positions and coaching.

If she had not used the word "assserted"
I would have bought into the underlying theme of the title with the"?" mark. She pointed out that Clemson and FSU were still the teams to beat but “asserted” is just a wee bit over the top.
Drop the “erted” in that word and you end up with how she looks posting that article.
They will be unasserted this saturday
