Has been the lowest we have allowed against F$U Since 2006...
I know there are like 5 other threads about FSU currently, but IDGAF...I watched the 14,15, and 2016 games last night (one hour each on YouTube) and it made me fcking sick to my stomach seeing us come so close but losing to those suckers late in the game...I had to get this off my chest so here it is. Fck you if you don't like it. Don't read it.
We are beating the semenholes this year! Everyone knows how important it is to beat those trolls from trailerhassee and stop the bleeding already. Beating the Noles is one of the last steps needed to complete the 180 we all have been waiting on, for way too long. 2017 is the year! No QB, on the road! No excuses!
Obviously it was a different team the last time we beat the Noles (09). None of the players or coaches are here now, but we did beat them on the road. Matter of fact, 07 & 09 were both wins on the road. Playing them in tally should not be an excuse for not winning, it is definitely doable regardless of QB.
We were all hoping 2016 at home was going to be the year, but unfortunately bad calls from the refs (targeting and waltons called back TD) and a turnover during a key drive, cost us another game against Florida State. Not to mention a first year staff, that although is a major upgrade from the golden circus, made the task harder than it will be in their second year in 2017.
Last year was heart breaking, but it told us something about this team, this new staff and where we're headed. The defense was lights out, (it was the second lowest scoring game all year for them) and I don't believe it was a fluke. I believe the identity of this team moving forward will be about the defense (see 2018 class). That is why I'm not so worry about who our QB will be. Defense wins championships and it will win this game.
I'm not here to bash Kaaya, but there were so many times in the previous 3 games where we could have moved the chains, avoided sacks (which gives the opposition a ton of momentum), and held on to possessions with a more mobile QB. Not saying I would have started Malik over Kaaya because ultimately Kaaya was the better and more accurate passer. But because of Brad's lack of mobility, he couldn't buy himself time to make those throws we all know he is capable of making, once the o-line collapsed. I think not having Kaaya's passing ability forces us to play an old school style of football against the Noles that I believe will make us prevail.
In 2017 I expect the defense to hold the Cook-less Noles to an even lower score than 2016. If Rosier, Sheriffs or Perry can scramble out the pocket while making simple throws to our elite WR's, not botching a handoff to Walton, we win this game. This game will not come down to heroics, it will come down to who makes less mistakes and special teams. Which btw in the 2015 game we left 4 points off the board by missing a short field goal and I think having another extra point blocked early in the game.
I noticed that the games between 2006 & 2016, have all been shootouts. We can't afford to go into shootouts with FSU..it is no coincidence we lost a lot of those games in the fourth QT after leading at some point. Defense gets gassed towards the end of games in shootouts. (See big 12 games and a lot of west coast teams that don't play defense) not too mention the amount of turnovers in those type of games. I want a boring game like the Detroit red wings and NJ devils (any hockey heads out there?) used to play..boring but effective..(check out the neutral zone trap if interested).
We need to frustrate and overwhelm frenchie like we did last season. But this time do it for 60 minutes. The only way to do that is by having our defensive guys fresh and our offense on the field as much as possible. I can't take another year of semenhole trash talking. This has got to be the year we get over the hump. These new kids need to play a role because they don't have that golden losing mentality complex. We need a big game from our freshmen and sophomores..
FSU is not that fcking good and I'm not saying that cause I'm being a homer. Look at their game against NC State, if NC state's DB doesn't drop that sure interception at the end of the game, they win. Look at the game against UNC how their defense allowed over 35 points and lost at home. We held UNC to 20 (including a bogus TD) and destroyed NC State..I sure hope the guys on the team know these guys are not on a level higher than them. It's just another fcking team that because our misfortunes they have been able to take advantage of us. Its fcking mental!
Sorry if any of you thinks this is just sunshine pumping and a waste of time or redundant. Many of the things Ive mentioned have already been said. But we need this! We need to beat them in their house! Wish either a backup QB or a frosh QB. How fcking sweet would that be? Plus it's the off-season and nothing to do except watch reruns of games I wish didn't exist.
