Do we have a shot against FSU?

The keys to the FSU game are:

1) Stop the run game of Travis and their two RBs. Benson runs hard. Even Toa has a solid ypc. While Travis may be running less this year, that won't be the case against us. There's no way the FSU coaches won't try to take advantage of our weakness containing QB draws. Too much film of Duke's QB & running game shredding us for 200 yards. They will try to replicate that (especially behind the left side of their OL). The FSU game I watched had them running very effectively. The is the #1 thing to take away from them (their entire run game, including the scrambling of Travis). We should have a spy on Travis.

2) Cover their 6'7" receiver effectively: maybe Colbie Young should play both ways? If not, I do think our taller DBs should be able to do a decent job.

3) Limit Their Explosive Plays: as noted in other posts above, FSU lives off explosive plays. Keep everything in front of us & force them to make many throws & runs to score (instead of giving up massive chunk plays). Travis will make mistakes if he's forced to throw say 4-7 times per drive.

4) Run Effectively: we need to have great run blocking like we did against UVA and Texas A&M. Big Anez & the other OL need to create some nice running lanes for our RBs. FSU's defense isn't all that. It isn't close to the heydays. They have some issues on D.

5) Target Colbie, X and Ladson heavily: Colbie needs to ball out in this game & have a coming out party on the national stage. X needs to do his thang & have at least 5-6 catches for 60-70 yds. Ladson needs to be a highly dependable chain mover at minimum.

6) Use our TEs Heavily: we've always given FSU fits with our TEs. Heavy doses of Mallory, Skinner and the Khalil Brantley. These three can feast on FSU. USE THEM A LOT!!!

7) Spread 'Em Out & Let Jake Take Some Deep Shots: Don't limit Jake too much so he can establish a rhythm & score some points. Spread them out & get the ball to our playmakers in space. FSU's D is vulnerable. Jake simply needs to distribute the ball efficiently to our skill position guys & let them do their thing. Play like Josh Allen who makes it look so simple (surveys the field & takes the easy throws most of the time).

8) Limit Turnovers & Penalties: Got to be super disciplined & avoid penalties & TOs like the plague. Got to make good decisions. Their DL will bring some heat so Jake needs to have a really polished plan for dumping the ball off to the RBs/outlet, scrambling or throwing the ball away when they blitz. This should help him view blitzes as opportunities (if he can retain his composure).

Go Canes!

The defensive line must hit Travis until he dies. Pray for TVD‘s return. I know he and Restrepo want this game baaaaaaaaad after last year.

We have a guy who is 6’5” that plays against our back 7 everyday in Young.

Yes we do .... and we don't wee the practices but if I had to bet any time Young is covered by #8 on a deep route you know what is most likely happening.
 
Going to be a fun one Saturday. :)

Get ready to lose your voices.

They weren’t even close.

It’s REALLY rare when you’re watching the TV broadcast, which only essentially shows 15 or so yards of the field, and the instant the QB releases the football, I say to myself, “Wow that’s overthrown.” I mean, the second he lets the ball go I can tell he’s overthrowing a government. Usain Bolt wouldn’t be able to run under these nuclear launched potatoes he’s throwing out there. He also threw a ball approximately 117 MPH to Brashard Smiff on an 8 yard route that should’ve been picked off a deflection. We gotta be honest here. Through a half a game coming on in relief and a full game as a starter against a putrid team, he has been nothing short of ******* terrible. Not ok. Not decent. Not promising. Absolutely awful.

If he plays against FSU, which obviously he is, we have to play a completely perfect game around him and he has to play markedly better for us to have a shot.
