Its all about FOOTBALL. Not that I do it for the money stuff but I do It because I want the money. I LOVE FSU. I love the colors. I love the legacy. I love the stadium. I love the state. I love the ACC. I love the coach. (not like that). But I love the team as a whole. I have always been a fan from my high school days to now. I could care less about all the other things most of the time but I will always suport the school. ANY TEAM, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

What this Bowl game means to me
- Well I dont know bout yall, but Im ready to talk about the bowl game. Fri, Dec 31 @ 7:30 PM ET #20 South Carolina VS #23 Florida State in the Chick-fil-A BOWL. I dont think anyone could not be happy about this game. Its a close to home game, both teams have a lot in common, and its the first step to rankings next year.I truely feel this is a must win for both schools.
- First off, most Bowl games want a team like FSU in there game. Thats not a wish or dream its the truth. Most seasons FSU is ranked as the most watched Bowl game of the year. Not only this but FSU fans travel very well and because this game will be in the Atl. where FSU has huge boosters this could be as close to a home game as we could get for any Bowl. The down side of this is that USC is in the same boat. Being only 2 hours away its a day trip for Gamecock's, they have boosters t here as well, and if you didnt know just like most SEC fans USC has no problems picking up and throwing a massive tailgate party. Do not be surprised with this game selling out. I was stationed last year in Columbia SC and have to say I actually started following USC and liked what I saw. There fans are cool down to earth people (unless its Clemson they are playing) My sunday school teacher was a season ticket holder and most of the class were USC fans. Funny though his son-in-law was a Clemson fan and the only one and then there was about 5 FSU fans. Anyhow for the fans of both schools this could be a great game if its keep close.
- If you havent heard yet this game is one of the few where both runner-ups in there Conf. will play each other and at the same time are ranked. This says something about both of these schools. When I heard Steve Spurrier was going to USC I thought that they would become how UF was back in the 90s. Never thought I could be so right and so wrong. Spurrier is still the same coach run the team like he use too. This biggest Differance I ahve seen is in his staff. He went out and has gotten some real good coaches. To top this off he has milked SC recruits. He might not be getting all the 5* but OMG SC has some players there. USC offences line coach might not have his guys as disciplined as FSU but they are big,strong and down right mean. You are looking at about 1550lb w/o a TE and 1825lb with there TE. This has been a big focus for the line coach for the last 2 years. Though they are not as fast as our o-line is they are big and strong. They have pushed around most teams they ahve played this year in the SEC. Though they might not have won some of there games scoring was not the problem. Im sire Bud will brake all this down but I just want to throw some thoughts out there.
- Enought about that, last I want to talk about what this game could set up for FSU next year. Right now FSU is ranked #23 in the nation. a win here would put us I think at least to 17-20 depending how other teams win/lose. I feel WV, Miss ST, (USC), Utah will all lose there games. and a win from us could get us up to the high teens. This is a big deal because next year we could really shoot to score high I think. I feel we can end next season in the top 5 with a OB at the least. The higher our rank is the less we have to crawl up the later. If TCU was in the Big-12 they would be #1 with there record hands down because they started off 6th where Orgen was 11# and Auburn was #22. If we end the season about #18 I dont think we would drop any and could go up with what we have coming back. Next year we have Charleston Southern, Louisiana-Monroe, OU, and UF. from the coastal we get Duke, UVA, and miami. So lets see I think we could go 11-1 worst 10-2. (OU and maybe an ACC team) At the same time If we can get by OU we could run the table and that is where the preseason ranks come in. Teams like TCU. Boise St, and such we can jump but other teams with one lose or winning strait out could have us if we are not ranked high enough. Its not about this year anymore for me. Yes I love seeing FSU win but from the start of the season we all new that FSU wouldnt win the NC. Some do/or did beleive we had enough to make a good run in 2011 and should make it to the NC in 2012. The only bad thing about this is that USC is in the same boat. A win for them could put them right where we want to be next year.
- Maybe Im on crack but I think this game is going to be one of if not the best Bowl game this year. Look at them really. the NC might be a good game if it dont turn to a blow out, The OB only if VT shows up, Allstate Sugar Bowl the only one that could give our game a real run for the money. Thats about it. All this talk about such great bowls but to me they all suck. If I want a FSU fan I would really feel this will be one of the best games to watch. Well sorry for all the grammer and spelling. hope this is not as painful as my last one.
Can UM and UF make it back
First off I think we need to see where the two programs are, then where they are going, and last what it would take to fix what is wrong.
There are 5 schools in Florida (FSU, UF, UM, USF, and UCF) That is a lot but what schools matter. well lets drop UCF because sorry to say they are not going to beat the other schools year in and out with the David vs Goliath game plan. So we have UF :SEC, USF:Big East and Miami and FSU : ACC. I really dont want to bring USF into this because the Big east is a joke now and I dont care what people think because truth is they can beat the other schools in Florida year in and year out.
OK lets start with Miami because that why I am writing this. Can Miami make it back and what would it really take. I think they can but I dont think they will. The reason they will not make it back to the top is money. Miami can fork out the cash like UF and FSU can. Sucks to be them. They dont get the cash to get the coach like UF and FSU can get. they have so settle for a b class coach.
So what would it take for Miami to make it, not that much really. Miami I think needs to get someone to run a strait spread like Organs. ??? What ??? Miami cant get the top end coach how can recruit top end players like Fisher and Co can. So what do they do they get a guy that will run a fast pace spread option offence. Why this because you dont need talent to run it. all you need is speed. All you need is a FAST QB and 6 FAST WR. Get a RB that is big more like a FB (the faster the better) and poof you ahve a fast offence. Where can Miami get this. ITS BACKYARD. I really dont want to sound bad about this but Miami Fl. and the south of FL has more speed that anywhere in the country. Go to any school an get a kid that can fly faster than anyone. Most HS now run the spread anyway. If you need a QB Im sure you can get one. The problem is getting the kid into school but hell if they can get me in Im sure they can get anyone in. Dont worry bout Def because if you out score your opponent then you win.
Uf is a dif story. I think they can come back and be big bad ugly in FL and the SEC. There only problem this year is there QB. If Cam stayed there UF would be where Aurben is. Also UF can drop the money to get any coach and staff they want. It will be nice for this UF vs FSU game to mean something again. maybe not next year but 2012+ this game could tell you who is going to the NC year in and out or kick one out a NC game. UF has the talent like FSU did in the 90s. Today you cant just win on talent alone though. UF lost Tebow but more so they lost there DC. Well now they have a new HC and I bet he gets a team of coaches to give FSU a run with recruits. UF will be fine sad to say. They wont bounce back next year but 2012 they could be right back with us on top. All because they hafve the money. The only bad thing about UF is thet most coaches need time to get the people in for there scram. Not the case here. UF is loaded with talent. They wont run this crazy spread and there Def could be STACKED if they want.
In the end I thing unless UM goes to a fast option spread lights out. UF down next year and in the fight after that.

Sucks to be me
Though this is something non-sports I feel like I need to let you all know. Some know me as Des the poor speller and thts cool Im down with it. (not like its not true). There is something else though as some of you know Im in the Army. I at Ft Jackson SC but news came down that Im on orders to Korea. This is both good and bad. Good because it could be back to Iraq or Afghan. Bad because I have to leave the wife and daughter for a year. This is why I havent been on as much of late. Lot of things going on. Dont worry though Im going to be a life member at least tell I piss someone off and get banded for spelling. (JK) I know there are some other guys on that are in the Army. If anyone has any stuff or ideas of things I will need to get or bring before I get there that would be sweet. Im going to area 1. Again thank guys for all the work you all put in.

Dont Underestimate The Wounded Dog
- Does Maryland have what it takes to beat FSU. I think this is a shock but The just might. Yes, Im talking about the the same 2-8 Terrapins that almost lost James Madison in OT, yet beat Clempson and hung around with WF and NCST. sounds crazy but I think we need to look at this game as a big deal.
- For some this is a win already with a lot of people looking at who we might get in the bowl game we are going to. I think some people have forgoten that FSU still need one more game to even get in. With Maryland and UF left that leaves Maryland because the UF game is like a 7% chance of us winning maybe less. So why are you so worried Des about Maryland this team sucks and thats true. But FSU sucks (well the Def at least). If most havent noticed teams have put up points on FSU all year. Every team other than WF have put up there best Offense game agenst us. Most teams are putting up an avg. of 390.2 yards a game and thats including Jax St. As for Maryland that are avg. 311.1 yards a game. If the trend is right then they will at least get that + more on FSU. Can FSU's offense out score them maybe.
- Now that they have seen what EJ can do and what JF will try they will have a much better game plan that WF. There Def is not that good at all from what I can tell. Im sure FSUn will go into depth about this. Most well have a good feeling but Im not. If we stick to the same game plan as last week we could have some problems.
- FSU last week got lucky with the game play because WF didnt know what they would see form FSU. They thought we would run the same game plan we have ran all year and that didnt happen. We ran a lot of Play-action and bootlegs. We ran a lot of zone reads and options. We ran a lot of short easy passes. Im not saying that will not work but we didnt set up plays like JF would have with Ponder. WF thought we were and that helped us. This week we need to see more and less of both. We need to stick with the zone reads because thats the base play. The fly motion will be nice because we have 3-6 plays out of it but we only saw 3 of them. (the pass to the motion, and ISO/Zone read, and a bootleg backside TE flats pass.) we can still see the revers/ a dud pass from Reed and prob something else I have no clue about. I would like to see some QB draws( like the ones Ponder would run off T) Also I think we need to get EJ running some Trip options with that pony formation we have with both RB going one way and Ej taking it the other or fake the FB under and EJ and TJ/jones to the other side. Keys on the numbers game will be big because Maryland will move more up closer to the line. The bubble will not work well I think but the slants and TE post could be big for us.
Bragging rights
As some of you know my wife and in-laws are NCST alumni. they are from Raleigh, NC and proud of it. Being a FSU fan and having them around so often comes to be a problem sometimes. Although NCST is not doing all that well I still have a bet with them as the winner buys Thanksgiving dinner. I dont sweet it that much but there are a few problems this year with this. The reasons Im worried about this are NCST is know to have a strong Def. They seem to always play well agenst FSU. Some of FSUs best games were with NCST IMO. 1996 FSU vs NCST, That year we dropped 30+ points on 9 teams and lost the NC to UF after beating them. the score for FSU/NCST was 13-0 fsu this was a close game for us. 1998 NCST won 7-24 and we still went out and won 11-2 with the only other lose to Tenn in the bowl game. We put 23 on every other team that year. 2001 the start of the down fall of FSU. NCST won 28-34 we lest this season 8-5 and things never got better for the most part. 2002 NCST 17 FSU 7 2003 FSU 50 NCST 44 (OT) This was a great game 2005-2006 NCST wins 2007-08 FSU These last 4 games were all close. For me NCST is the rivalry game in the ACC Atlantic. My other reason is Though NCST hasnt had the Offense they wanted this year, FSU has made bad offense look like NC teams. We let teams run right throw us. To top this off NCST has a QB in R. Wilson and when he is healthy he can run. Thats not good for FSU. Now this year he seems a step slower than last year but with our Def. woes does he need to be at top speed. Im not going to go into there Offense because FSUn prob. will and knows 100% about it than I. This is a team that took out Pitt. its also a team that can put points up with at least 20 pints a game. I dont know about you all but I fear this game. FSU is on the line with where they want to go. The rest of the games could all be won still but at the same time we could lose them just as easy. This season has pushed the fans of FSU. Some are just ready for B-ball season to start and want this season over. Thats sad to think about but with all the drama it might be better. Im going to stick by my noles and wear Nole gear and watch every game but I still dont want to cough up about 400+ for Thanksgiving dinner. So for the love of the game be loud and proud. FEAR THE SPEAR, Go nole
I guess CTC and Jimbo never got into a fight after all, Or did they
I was reading this from the 4 letter net. and had to let yall see it. I think this is so funny.
Lost in the sause
OK so in the Noles Pick'em you have the 2 teams and the spread of points. I pick the right team to win but some dont cover the points. Is there a way to pick a team but not have them cover the spread. I never undersood how this all works. I know Im not doing that bad because Im ranked #6 in the polls but I want to win.
So what next.
Well after a loss like that where do we look too, where are we going, what do we do next. Ive been pissed for about the last 20 hrs about MA and his Def. that I almost gave up on our Noles for the season. But why. Is it over. HELL NO. We have a good game next week and a game we all thought we could win the next 2 weeks. I know we all want MA head and CTC and JA fired but we also know that wont help or happen. We need to look past this and focus on some of the better Pos. What happened Last night that we liked. I have to say I loved the Offense look. I like the Screens, I like WR for the most part. I liked The TE use. But Most of all There is two things that give me some hope. FSU O-line Pass blocking and DB Greg Reid. Those two things are giving me some hope. Last night we say some things from FSU Def that we havent seen but all have wanted. We say some 3-4 and zone blitzing. It wasnt that bad but not ll that good. My guess here is because its just new. Im ok with that because if we keep with it I can get better, but only if we keep with it. If we trash it and go back to the old ways of 4-3 cover 2 then we are right back where we started last year. I dont want that myself because I want our Def to know something when a new DC comes in and we dont have to start from the basic. (thought we will anyhow) We also say FSU Qb throw to someone most though was a SPC OT ya Im talking about Caz. He cought the first TD for the 2009-10 Noles and I and the miami coaches couldnt beleave it. Good things for the Offense this year. The game sucked but it was what it was going to be. So what do you all think we should go to next. I dont want to hear the bad stuff use the other threads to bash people and coaches. I want to know what good came out from this game. I want toi know why I should watch the rest of the games. I want to know If Im not the only one that thinks its just one game a bad one but only one and we might be ok.
USC vs NCST
This game sucked. It proved NCST doesnt have a Def, doesnt have a running attack, the only good thing for NCST in this is if (IF) the QB gets time he can throw. Hes not that fast. USC is not a great team and they dont lookm that good IMO. Our Def can play as good as USC and Our Offense should be lightyears better. This is a good game for teams like FSU and Clem. because it tells Us how bad they suck.
So this is what I get when I play with a formation
I was trying to find out how to use a half-back and this is what I came up with. Is this about right.
•Last year it was Florida State's offensive line. This year it's Maryland's defensive line. Somehow my position rankings have managed to inspire (and, uh, infuriate) players all over the conference. The coaches? I'm sure they don't mind. It only makes the players better. Just look at the magic I worked on FSU last year.
questions about next year
by Desman on Jun 13, 2009 1:17 PM EDT
on Tomahawk Nation
I just wanted to know about the kids that didnt make the grade to play at FSU that we recruited this past year. Also is there any news on who is injured going into this next season like Easterling? I havent been able to keep up as much with work picking up and going to summer school. Is there any word yet about Dvo going to play baseball yet? I also see something that Myron Rolle as a Sr. Does he still count on the roster?

I want to talk about the 2009 schedule
by Desman on Feb 21, 2009 10:01 AM EST
on Tomahawk Nation
I know we have had post about this but I just looked at it and have seen some good things and some bad thing. I just wanted to get everyone take on this. Sorry for my spelling before hand.
Sept. 7 vs Miami (Mon)
Sept. 12 Jack ST
Sept 17 at BYU
Sept 26 SFU
Oct 3 at BC
Oct 10 GT
Oct 17 open (the only one)
Oct 22 at UNC
OCT 31NCST (Im betting if we have a black out game this is it.)
Nov 7 at clemson
Nov 14 at WF
Nov 21 Maryland
Nov 28 at UF (in the swamp)
I would like to say at first look I though we made out real good but at a second look Im not liking what I see. I dont know if anyone will agree with me on this but I feel that next year we cant wait tell our Def gets on the same page. Our Off is going to have to win some games for us. I dont think the Def will show up to every game like we think but I do feel that other than the UF game we can just out score every team on there.
So lets talk. Ill go first because well its just how this works. We start with Miami. I like that because WE have a better Idea who FSU is than Miami does. They have some great talent down there and if they ever figure out how to use it bad things would come. We have a better idea how our Off works so we get the adv. in this game.
Second the Jack St game. this game we should win. I know they have the x-LSU QB but thats about it. I know they have others but sorry we have just more talent then them.
BYU. Wow whos idea was this one. Well guess it time to have a flash back and get the idea in the head anytime anywhere. This is a good team to start with. They end the season at ranked 25. These guys can put up a lot of points. they have a lot of speed it looks like but I dont know. Im sure they run a spread Off. The good thing is we have speed too. This would be a bad game to lose. At BYU too
USF. The road only get more fun here thank good its at home. I dont know what to think about USF. 2 years ago they were the hot team. Last year they just fell off. when this team shows up they can drop points and there Off is kinda weard. They run a spread where they will have 4 WR and a RB and they will zone read and pass just like where I want us to go.
BC the are falling down and with the new coaching changes I hope they flop. lost a lot on there Def with the 2 DT gone.
GT man I was hopen this game would come off the Bye week. The only good thing is if BC has a bad year. I would love to see us going back to work on Sunday for this game. Get as much time as we can because LSU tought us all something. To stop GT it take time. Lots of practice. One week is not going to be enough. I think GT is going to be a tough game.
Then we get a week off and then one the road to UNC. They dont have a great Off. They have a good one but I think by now our Def will have came throw and stepped up. I wish they didnt get the extra week off also. They did lose that nix guy so thats a good thing. But they are dont a good job up there with recruiting. I think we win I dont think it will be close. EJ gets playing time because we are up.
NCST some say this game is going to be hard game some a tough game. I think BYU and SFU games will tell us how this game will turn out. FSU has a problem with fast QB and NCST QB is fast and seems smart. I like this kid and I hate NCST. All I know is we better win because I couldnt hear it for a year that NCST beat FSU at home. Also do we play NCST on or around halloween.
At Clemson. who will they be next year. Your guess is as good as mine. They still have good players there from the last few recruit seasons. If they find who they are they could be good. If not lights out and they will fold.
At WF. Another game we have to win because Im going to this game. I dont think WF will climb back up because they just dont get the players.
Maryland some as last year sorry but we blow them out
UF, Im not going to say the same. Im going to be me and just lie about this. WE HAVE A CHANCE. I think its at about 7% but thats 7 more % than what some teams have. Its hard to say they are going to beat us but I think we all know the truth. Man this suchs.
Well thats about it. I think our Def is not going to step up like they did this year. Man thats going to suck because there were time this year they didnt even show up little step up. I think we will have a better Off this year and the best Def is a good Off. I hope thats right. If we control the ball and keep the clock going we can win. we dont have to score every time we get the ball but we have to help the Def out because we are not going to have a kicker/punter like this year. WE CAN DO THIS! YES WE CAN!It worked for Obama why not us.

You know what the best part about going to Church today was
by Desman on Feb 8, 2009 9:06 PM EST
on Tomahawk Nation
For those who dont know, I live in Columbia, SC. Im in the Army at Fort Jackson. I go to one great church. The only problem is that everyone that goes to my church hate FSU for one reason or another. Ether they are USC fans and hate FSU because they know Steve Spurrier and Bobby Bowden from when he was at UF, or they are Clemson fans and hate FSU because of the Bowden drama and there coach walking out on them. Anyhow so there I was today thinking about what to wear to church today. Now I go to a contemporary church service where most are college kids and jeans and polos are ok to wear. I dont think I have ever been scared at church before but today, today was different. I guys something happened the other night. Some of the people at church kinda smiled at me but there were a lot (My sunday school teachers son) wanted to take me out back and well I think you get the point. I just dont get it. All I did is wear this my brwon skechers with jeans and a hoodie. Its not like the hoodie said Clemson sucks or something. All It was was the FSU hoodie I got at Bills Bookstore over X-miss when I went home. Its like they thought I was a devil worshiper or something. I dont get how they could be so mad about it. Its not like FSU had some great 2nd half comeback of the year and Florida State outscored Clemson 40-17 to end the game.
Wait, Im sorry I was wrong above. My wife just told me that FSU won last night and it was one of the best comeback and they did out score them 40-17 in the end. Wow, If I would have known that I might not have worn that FSU hoodie today. Guess I am a cowlist bastard.

Going Bowling
by Desman on Dec 15, 2008 3:19 PM EST
on Tomahawk Nation
Well, I will tell you all right now there is nothing better than bowling. You know how hard it is to strike out and get a 300. Ive never done it. I have had a 298 and a 299 but that was back in the day when I bowled in 4 legs. a wk.
Anyhow, Im not here to talk to you about Bowling, Im here to talk to you about the Bowl season. Thats right over the next 4 weeks we will have 34 dif. bowl games. Out of those the ACC will have a team in 10 of them. Thats right 10 game. Now I remeber this past summer someone talking on ESPN and FNR about how the ACC had the worst teams in College football and how the ACC was the worst Cof. Can someone tell me how this can be. Well to those people who said that and even still think that I say kiss my. Sorry I know kids read this.
Here is what we are looking at. If the ACC is so bad why do we have 10 teams going to bowl. This is what the ACC has going on. I would like to know what you all think about these match-ups and who you think could/will win.
EAGLEBANK BOWL Navy Vs WF (Remach from 9/27) - December 20, 2008 - WF has to win this game. If not Wf could be on the down slope and will be hard to fight there way back up.
MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL UNC vs WV - December 27, 2008 - I think UNC is going to have a Fight on there hands. WV might not be the same team from a few years ago but they have a good QB and still have some power left over. I think UNC can get it done if they just stay focused.
CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL FSU Vs Wis (The only game that matters)-December 27, 2008 - No question about this. FSU needs the win to have something to say this year is better than the last two but thats not going to be that eazy. Wis is like BC but bigger and stronger. If they get there guys healthy and get there running game going it could be a very long night.
EMERALD BOWL Cal vs Miami (FL) - December 27, 2008 - You know we have seen this game already this year. No that was Maryland vs Cal. Well I think its going to end the same. Miami needs this because they have no ID who they are and where they are going.
PAPAJOHNS.COM BOWL Rugers Vs NCST - December 29, 2008 - NCST is going to show up and out smart the smart guys. Rugers isnt all that good. Some could say the same for NCST but there is a reason there QB is getting noticed hes going to lead the Pack to a bowl win and a good season next year. Keep an eye on this guy.
ROADY'S HUMANITARIAN BOWL Nevada Vs Maryland - December 30, 2008 - Well Nevada isnt ranked so Maryland could be in trouble. Are you kidding me Nevada played some good teams this year and lost to them all there best win was Fresno St. I think Maryland is going to run the ball down there throats.
GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL BC Vs Vandy - December 31, 2008 - Wow Vandy started the season realy good or did they. They beat um Auburn, Rice, USC, Miss. If BC can get anything on Off going then Vandy might have some troubles, but then again BC has those two DT that give everyone trouble.
CHICK-FIL-A BOWL GT Vs LSU - December 31, 2008 - This might just be the Best game to watch other than the FSU Vs Wis. GT Beat UGA, UGA killed LSU, LSU didnt realy do anything this year. I just have a hunch that GT is going to run all day and all over LSU and LSU is not going to stop them. Its going to be fun watching LSU look like FSU when LSU goes to Alt.
GATOR BOWL Clemson Vs Nebraska (The bowl they stole from Us) - January 1, 2009 - I didnt want to go there but you know what. Im kinda mad at the Gator Bowl camit. I think its BC what they did. There are much better teams than Clemson for this games. Also I think this is one game the ACC might and is going to lose. the ACC could win most of there bowl games but This will be one of if not the hardest for the ACC. And the sad thing is Nabraska is not that good just ask VT
FEDEX ORANGE BOWL Cin Vs VT - January 1, 2009 - Ok here we go the game of the ACC. I want to give VT props for making it to this game. They did it with no Off. Wasnt the ACCCG this year awasom. NOT. You know what I think VT might just be in trouble here. VT can have a good Def from time to time but there Off is going to have fun. I havent seen much on TV from Cin but it looks like they like to air it out. I dont know if VT will have what it takes to slow them down. I hope so because The ACC needs to win the OB this year. The ACC has looked very bad over the last few years and this year could be just the same.
I just want you all to know that I dont like most of these teams but I think its very important that the ACC wins most/all of there bowl games this year. When you have the SEC with Bama and UF on our (FSU) door when it comes to recruiting and the Big East for those more teams from UVA, VT, Maryland, and BC. we need all the proof the ACC is better and stronger. I think its pos. for the ACC as a whole to come out of this with 7-3. I think we have a lot of good games to look forward to. I hope everyone has a blessed X-mis and New Year. And Sence I broke my Wrist Im going to need someone to go bowling for me.
My question to you

There are some of you that are thinking FSU might just take a step backwards next year. Some think its because of the DC pos. and our Def will not be very strong. Some think we will be hurting on the Off line. Some think Ponder is just not good enough. And some think our WR and RB will not be able to hold out be that they just get into to much trouble off the field or injurys.
I want to say what I think will happen next year. We are lucky this year isnt over yet and we have one more game to get some exp. to the team and guys coming back next year. Ill talk about that later. As of right now we have the youngest O-line. Most would say they did a great job for being so young. I know they are not the best in the world but If there is one thing FSU has right now its a damn good O-line coach.
Second, when it comes to play calling Jimbo has played to our strengths all year. We lost 4 games this year. Some are thinking we might lose 6 next year some think only 3. I think its going to be just as crazy in the ACC next year as this year. But I think it will be our year. WF did not beat FSU. FSU beat FSU in that game. GT beat us hands down and could have killed us but their QB got hurt. VT was the same way I'll chalk that up to luck. BC Thats going to be a fun game.
The way I look at next year is our Def. is going to be ok. Not great maybe not even good, but ok. Also we will see who we get in the DC spot if we get one. There are only 4 Off we play next year that I would even worry about. 1 UF we prob wont win. GT, BYU, NCST. You can laugh about NCST but I just got a feeling If its not us going to the ACCCG it will be NCST. BYU well they can play they are ranked 16th right now and put points up on almost everyone. Dont get me wrong I think we can win but here is my problem.
I realy think our Off is going to be good next year. They might even be Great. I think FSU Off has grown so much this year and going into next year its going to be something new. Ponder will start throwing down field because he will have time because the O-line will be blocking better. We are going to have teams so scared of the screen and the zone read they try to put 7 in the box they will get burned everytime. Its just a matter of time before this happens. I wouldnt be suprised to see it happen in Wis. Before you strat thinking how bad our Def could be next year think how good our Off could be. Def wins Champs. Off win Games. I think Our Off will win most of our games and our Def will come around sooner or latter.
Why do some of you think we are going to take a step backwards next year?
