Do we have a shot against FSU?

Good call. I agree. Everything FSU does is either at or behind the LOS, or 40+ yards downfield. Lot of action in the box this week. Gil should be able to contribute.

Fsu is a problem schematically , they use a lot of window dressing. Motion everywhere and we’ve proven to be vulnerable to that. Eye discipline will be huge.

All my stats are from this year from the NCAA website, yours are showing a team that has big plays. Because Travis has only completed 146 passes this season and is 61% TVD was benched and played in 1 less game and he still has 152 passes. Even against GT, he was 63% throwing for 396. Travis Completes 18 passes a game. He's an all-or-nothing QB. We get into the Red Zone just as many times as FSU we don't score TDS.

Yeah....FSU has 5 more redzone trips than we do, but they've not been very good scoring TDs either.

They are 76th in redzone TD%, we are 117th.

Gonna respectfully bow out of this one now.

Appreciate the numbers and, yes, I've watched him this year.

Nonetheless, this past Saturday, I believe I counted three 3rd downs of 12+ yards where either the scramble or the threat of scramble turned our back 7 into chaos.

I'd expect the same against FSU - unless there is a brand new wrinkle added, which I hope.

Agreed. Obviously their staff is watching tape. He's clearly been coached to extend plays to throw, but if they're smart, they'll tell him that he needs to be a little quicker to get vertical and run this week if the first/second read isn't there because you're correct, we're completely lost on the back end when plays are extended.

I agree and as difficult as it is for us to score I'm afraid all it takes is one or two good plays by them that can put the game out of reach. If Garcia plays if FSU just gets to 21 that might be it.

Very interesting post 🎯 spot on , Travis wisest move would be play up tempo as secondary running around panics .

Amazing call @Jaxcane4 here if holes get to a quick 21 it will be all over.

They will BLITZ constantly , they know we have trouble scoring lately also.

This will be a fast moving game making us think what’s next guessing.

Exactly they get chunk plays in the middle of the field which shows in your stats but then when it comes to scoring they're just average they have 23 TDS vs our 20, we got 11 Fgs they have 6. Total Points in the Red Zone FSU 179 Miami 173.

I hate to type that. But it looks pretty grim. Even if our D plays great, FSU can move the ball and score. Not likely to hold FSU to under 20. Based on what we saw Saturday, how do we get to 20 without cheap scores? Is it as grim as I think it is? Give me some hope. I am dreading Saturday.

They got a 7 footer?

Well, I rounded up, he's actually 6'7". It's the WR Wilson that transferred from Arizona State this year. Kid plays right in the middle and looks like a red wood standing there on field goals. We've had a couple low-trajectory kicks this year. They'll also be throwing him the ball on corner routes for his height advantage on our DBs.
 
Have we fallen so far that we're treating FSU as world beaters? Jesus at least fake some confidence for rivalry week if nothing else. Not sure if the fans or the team is worse. I kid, it's definitely the team 😑

Trust me I want to believe but VA Tech and VA being our biggest wins of the year doesn't inspire me.
 
Nothing i've seen from this putrid offense gives me confidence in saying Yes. Gattis is Enos, Enos is Gattis. They have a system and expect players to conform to that system. How long will that take? Is it even worth it? He's the smartest guy in the room and his arrogance will not allow him to simplify this offense and play to the strengths of his players.

Canes will win. I have enough belief for us all. Life is about balance considering we lost to Midd Tenn we have to win a game that doesn't quite make sense. I doubt it's Clemson so I'm taking this one 🤷‍♂️
 
I want to say that Mario's burning hatred of FSU will inspire UM to victory. Unfortunately I don't think it will be enough. They seem to be able to generate offense and score TDs occasionally. We are FG machines, and it's not going to get better if Garcia starts again. The one glimmer of hope might be if Restepo is a little healthier, and he and Young can soften the D a little bit and allow more of a run game, and we can turn this into an ugly, low scoring slug fest. Good news is that type of game is Mario's bread and butter.
