Football:
FSU’s defense is often defeated before the ball is even snapped.
Levonta Taylor has been a revelation on defense this year and he’s taking last year’s loss to Louisville personal.
FSU’s chances of beating of Louisville would be much improved if they could get back a couple of its big receivers.
Derwin James is No. 8 on NFL.com’s top 25 mid-season future NFL stars.
To be in the same company as UTEP, BYU, & Illinois this year is not good news for FSU’s offense:
Only 4 schools have failed to score more than 26 points in a game this year: BYU, FSU, Illinois & UTEP

Don’t let Louisville’s record fool you; Lamar Jackson is just as dangerous as last year:
