Their defense should be excellent next year. Awesome test for Richt.
All I know is a mid major school is smoking this "excellent" defense
It's a good thing I mentioned I think they'll be excellent
next year. Also, Houston is a really well-run team in a bowl game. These days, anyone can get scored on. In certain games, Gary Patterson's team has allowed a ****boat of points despite having excellent defenses.
But, go ahead. Tell me why their defense will suck.
Lu, I'll be honest w u, FSU has a lot of "star" power, but their def hasn't been that impressive since Pruitt left. I mean, they're talented, but they make a lot of mental mistakes and this is going back to even last year...(i.e that busted coverage on UH's last drive). I think they're composed by a bunch of meatheads vs football IQ guys. Which is y well coached offenses give them ****. Not that impressed with the def as a whole, just a couple of players on that side of the ball
They haven't been that bad this year and, again, I think they'll be just as good if not better next year. They certainly have a lot of raw athletes out there. I think Herman can make a lot of people look bad, to be honest. Watching what he did with a backup's backup last year against Bama was art. Or, at least what I consider art. Giving Herman a few weeks to prepare for FSU was a nightmare because he is a well-prepared guy who happens to do great thinking on the spot. The guy is a star - regardless of what had happened in this game or what happens in specific instances (he will certain trip up at some point).
As for FSU specifically, I think Sweat is a potential monster for them next year. I think they have more than enough on their DL to be stout. James is a potential superstar. They need to fill some holes at LB, but it's a defense that will punish people next year.
Doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't beat them.
