Norvell/Dillingham vs Diaz/Baker
Fsu OC Kenny Dillingham has been coaching under Mike Norvell since 2014. He took over as OC at Memphis in 2018. That year Memphis was #4 in total offense and rushed for 280 yards per game with all-American RB Darrell Henderson leading the way. However, Norvell called the plays. Dham spent 2019 at Auburn as Gus Malzahn's co-OC. Malzahn also called the plays. Auburn's offense improved from second to last in the SECW in 2018 to 4th place behind LSU, Bama and Ole Miss in 2019. Norvell/Dham have never faced a Diaz/Baker led defense. Norvell is from the Todd Graham coaching tree. Others who coached under Graham include Chad Morris and Malzahn. With Norvell out due to ChinaBatVirus, Dham will be calling plays exclusively for the first time in his career. Chris Thomsen, who is the tight ends coach, will be acting head coach in Norvell's absence. Thomsen won two conference championships as HC at Abilene Christian. He also led Texas Tech to a win over Minnesota in the Meineke bowl in 2012 as interim HC. He's faced a Manny Diaz led defense once when as OL coach Texas Tech lost to Texas 31-22.
Fuller vs Lashlee
Fsu DC Adam Fuller is from the Doc Holliday coaching tree. He spent 2013-2018 coaching under Holliday at Marshall. In 2018 Marshall's defense was in the top 30 in seven major defensive categories, including #8 against the run. In 2019 Fuller took over as DC at Memphis. The Tigers' defense improved by an average of just over 40% in the national rankings from 2018 to 2019. Fuller has gone head to head with Rhett Lashlee once, when Memphis faced SMU in 2019. The Mustangs gained 553 yards and scored 6 TDs against the Tigers' D.
IMO we have a pretty significant coaching advantage in this game. Lashlee has prepared for and eviscerated Fuller's defense before. I also believe the Manny/Baker combo is gonna be too much for a first time play caller with average talent at the skill positions and a below average OL.
My prediction, which is not really the point of this thread, is a 40 something to 20 something victory for the CANES.
ETA: I totally forgot to include the X factor, Ed Reed on the sidelines. We saw the effect of that on Saturday. I guarantee Reed will spot something which will lead to a turnover. Dham is too green.
