How good are the Noles in the trenches?

[LuCane]

Amount of starts is pretty meaningless to me especially with transfers from weaker programs. As a whole it is not a particularly strong group and they scheme around it.

Their RT especially is going to get abused all game long.

I’ve seen posts indicating expectations around what they had last year. It’s not that. The Vandy transfer is solid in their scheme. I don’t think they’re a top unit, but in their scheme they are stronger than what I’ve seen people mention. Of course, no idea how they pass block because they’ve barely thrown the ball all season.

They are going to break some bigger plays with tempo and speed, but I think we mostly contain those sweeps and outside runs. The problem I see, is them playing the same 2 high Safety's they played on us last year and what UF just played on us. If they do, it's another boring low scoring game.
Gus's offense is built to hide weaknesses with the OL and QB.

How can Dawson scheme up some pass plays when they’re playing 2 high?

I honestly believe Mario hates the Noles more than the Gators, and that gives me hope they our D should be ready for the task.

The only feasible game plan they’d have to beat hang with us is by taking a page out of GTech’s book. Stretching our defense laterally most of the game and opening up running lanes and short pass windows. Wearing on depth. I am sure we are planning to keep everything inside. Castellanos gets sacked one time by 3 or 4 and he will think about it every drive. He’s tiny. I can see him fumbling a blind side sack also. I am not as high on FSU as some of you all. We know both our run game and D line will be in Tally. You can’t plan for what you physically can’t prevent.

And, I'd be in his ear the entire 2 weeks. "This, son, is how you get yourself an NFL job playing football next year."

patience with him has paid off. he's playing so much better than 2 years ago. love to see the development
