this game is the unleashing of jeff Thomas !! fsu loves to move derwin inside the box and use him to blitz often. leaves one on one. that's how Alabama scored with ridley when they played week 1.
Auden Tate is day to day, we'll see if he even plays.
Their defense is still a force to be reckoned with.
With that said them losing Frenchy makes this a game where we definitely SHOULD win. The easiest path to a loss I see is if Rosier gets careless with the ball and we have multiple turnovers. If we can keep turnovers to right around 1 (one is inevitably going to happen in a game of this magnitude) we should win
Biggest thing I want to see is Richt not get conservative and **** the game away the way we did last year. Go for it and be aggressive. I'd rather lose being aggressive than suffer a slow death being conservative and playing for 10-7 or 13-10 type of win.
I fully expect FSU to come after Rosier hard, there will be big plays there for the taking if we can execute.
FSU will be fired up and ready to play. Count on it. I see our Canes being fired up, but we are going to be in Doak.
So..
Rosier is going to have to make some first downs with his legs. He won't have much time with their defensive line, so he's going to only get through one maybe two reads. Then he is probably running or getting crushed. His play is the biggest key and concern to win. His nerves in the Second half will be dialed up.
I really see the need for Walton to be able to play well. If not Homer will have to carry a lot of the load and get first downs and make plays. Maybe not home runs. But decent gains.
And like many others have said we must hit there QB. Get him having to make decisions faster than he is ready for.
1 turnover but costs us 3 at most.
Special Teams.

Their defense and ST will keep them in this. We are slow on kickoff and Derwin may house one. If they get a couple of turnovers we may not be able to score enough to catch up. We have to play a smart/clean game and dominate without defense!

It's going to be hard to dominate without defense...
Agreed Frenchie is tough but he has about 50lbs on Blackman. Seriously injuring Blackman isn't likely but Joe Jack or Norton or Chad giving him a bad concussion when they got 80-100+ lbs on him is very possible
Blackman isn't frail. He's taken some big hits and bounced back up. What he was, however, in the latter stages of the NCSU game was gunshy. He started turning his body after absorbing hits from Chubb for a couple quarters. As he started turning and flinching he lost zip and accuracy. If we can put hits on him like NCSU did that will bode well for us.
I wouldn't mind Miami taking an early shot on him even if it results in a 15 yarder.
Was thinking the same. Might as well try and take him out early. I have no problem with us taking cheap shots (long as it's with someone expendable) on them bc there's no doubt they'l be gunning for Walton's ankle.
Send Patachan at him like we did Francois last year.
Patchan is not on the travel squad. I really thought he would be part of the rotation. Johnson is the last DE off bench on travel team.
None of our concerns are as big as their O-line concerns. I couldn't believe how bad they looked against WF.
Rosier has to run and we have to hit Blackman every chance we get.
