Delete your accountFSU offense - B- personnel and a B+ scheme with Malzahn and mainly how he fits their personnel
QB - B - Good dual threat, still not sold on his passing ability, but good fit for their system
RB - B - Sawchuk is mediocre but they do have solid depth there
WR - B+ - Added some talent via the portal. Some gadget guys as well
TE - C - Nothing to brag on there
OL - B - Hansen was a good add from Vanderbilt at LT and Pettus at RT from Ole Miss. Much needed size they didn't have a year ago. Petitbon at Center is very experienced and a good college player at the position. Still weak at Guard. Medley is ok but small and Richie Leonard is not good.
FSU defense - C+/B- personnel and an A scheme with Tony White
DE - C- - extremely mediocre at DE. The kid from Nebraska would be our 5th DE at best and the kid from Tennessee would be 7-8th on our depth chart
DT - B- - Darrell Jackson is a good college DT. 1st round measurables with an UDFA mentality. Makes his play pretty mediocre. Not high on Lyons and no real depth here.
LB - B+ - Big fan of Herring and Omar Graham. They have size/speed/experience at this position
CB - B+ - Wilson is very good. Rawls and the rest of the group not so much.
S/Rover/Nickel B- - Earl Little looks the part this year. Took a massive step. Good for him. Not high on Edwin Joseph, Barker, or Brown.
That's just my early evaluation. I don't think highly of Alabama and they've played no one else to even begin to judge them. Obviously better than a year ago and their players fit their schemes better. Big fan of Tony White.
-They won't be able to match up in the trenches
-They always have something gimmicky for us with Norvell. Malzahn is also known for the gimmicks and trick plays
-Tony White may have Beck in **** if we don't clean up our passing game on the bye week
-Strong run games/strong OL travel well
-Our DL will eat their OL alive but they get you with your eye discipline
-I don't really worry much about their WRs against our DBs
-Road environment could make it interesting if Brockermeyer isn't right
Expecting a 28-17 type of game. Using Alabama as the barometer - Our OL/run game are night and day. Our DL is far superior. They were missing Ryan Williams and Horton most of the game. Our defense looks far more disciplined and better coached. Beck is much more equipped to handle the protections and manage the game than Ty Simpson in his first road start. Those factors easily pull the 14 point deficit into a 10 point type of W.
