OP stated some of my concerns. we weren't able to run the ball vs duke and haven't been able to run the ball vs fsu since Duke was here.
I think Jimbo is going to pull out some trick plays, probably some wildcat with Akers who played QB in high school. he could also end up throwing the ball, hopefully we are prepared for that.
also, tackling, tackling, tackling. our linebackers MUST tackle well. mccloud and miek smith are my biggest concerns right now. make no mistake, fsu's OL might not be great, but their RBs are very talented. Wake forest's DL and linebackers did a decent job of not missing tackles and forcing a lot of 2nd and 3rd and longs.
also, Diaz can't get cute with those blitzes and get caught on screens or short throws to the running back.
I think this game Herndon gets free down the middle. they are going to put mcfadden on Richards, probably all game. the offense seems to play best when playing with pace.
