It Doesn’t Have To Be Close

For just one week, Manny/staff needs to let the team believe they can kick someone’s ***.

Doesn’t matter where you stand on Manny, or Blake, or whatever. It’s FSU week. We need to beat that ***, and beat them badly. End of story. If there’s one thing we should all be on the same page about, it’s punishing little brother on Saturday.

To that end, for any number of reasons, Manny obviously continues to spew the narrative about conference games being close. It’s just how the ACC is, he says. You see it week in and week out, he repeats.

Here’s the thing, I don’t care if the stats bear that narrative out league wide or not. Obviously our games have been close. I’m here to say IDGAF. FSU sucks. No matter what you think of our team, right now I think we should beat their asses. And like everything else, it starts at the top. So get it in their heads now: the game doesn’t have to be close. We can smash them.

I’m pretty sure recently during FSU week, maybe last year, I remember someone saying Manny delivered this very message to the team, maybe he or a player said it in post-game interviews or something. Some of you will remember. But it was pretty much what I’m talking about here. He told the team beforehand it doesn’t have to be close. I remember hearing that and thinking yessss man, finally, after all that “ACC games are always a battle” talk, someone remembered it’s okay to kick a team’s *** from time to time.

So that’s where I’m at. **** FSU. They are dog ****. And while we’re not the best team I’ve ever seen, I have no doubt that on a decent day we should beat that ***. Doesn’t even have to be a great day for us, just a good day.

I can’t stand these guys.

Sweep the **** leg!

Honestly, this game shouldn't be close. FSU has no passing game, has no big play ability on offense and is just as bad on defense minus a couple of players. But you know, with Mannequin spearheading this team, it may just be another nail biter.

I do remember him saying this actually. It was last year before the FSU game. It was the one time I ever heard him deviate from his loser mentality that all ACC games are close.
 
Tell that to Clemson during their run. They were whooping every team in the conference. ACC games dont gotta be "battles" or "close". Just dont let the fvck up. Manny and Lashlee always seem to let up on the gas pedal. GT and Pitt could have been blowouts. FSU can easily be a three score win.

They will be depending on multiple broken plays on offense off of scrambles from Travis (assuming he plays). I don’t see the being able to sustain drives consistently, definitely not at the pace TVD will have us. If we avoid turnovers we win by at least 3 possessions. Cane roll 45-21
 
I actually think this will be a lot like the 2019 game against them, but we’ll score a bit more. That team is absolute dogsh*t and they have a completely 1 dimensional offense.
 
Just change the D and surprise them. Just do something different for a couple of quarters at least.

The O can put up points. Once we are up 3-4 scores unlesh the dogs.
 
“This shouldn’t be close”

That phrase haunts this team and this coaching staff. I always say we never act like a playoff team. And all I want this weekend is to act like a legit top15-20 team and this game is over early.

I think they learned a valuable lesson last week against GT. They CAN blow a team out. They can also lose if they F up enough. They took a blow out win and turned it into a nail biter. I don't think they want to feel that again.
 
Just make it 4 *5* in a row. (per InfoWars)

Don’t really care how.

They’re going to run the ball on us and move the ball. The De will also be a handful. This will be a dogfight that could go either way. It shouldn’t but it likely will.

4&11 will put hits on TVD. They are both starters at Miami in my opinion. Good portal P/U from Memphis mike.

When I read 11 will put hits I almost lost it. Then I saw TVD and was like oh FSU #11

We are pretty undisciplined and haven’t really faced a QB that truly is dangerous with his legs if the FSU QB is playing

Gonna be a problem
