My reasoning for thinking it will be a blow out is based on what I've seen, not just being a blind homer.
I don't make crazy predictions pulled out of thin air, yall should know by now, my sh*t is well researched & not just looking up stats. I've watched their games on replay & they are not a good team by any estimation.
They give up 377yds per game total, 279yds per game passing, but their run defense is good only giving up 97.5ypg. But Va Tech got 112yds & forced 3INT's, Cuse rushed for 222yds & had 441yds total, plus dominated time of poss 36:53 to 23:07.
FSU's Defense is weaker than its been in years past, their secondary doesn't have an elite game changer like they've had with Ramsey.
And their Offense has been even worse, they're 13th in the ACC in rushing, they rush for 2.9ypc & have given up 12 sacks this season which is the most in the ACC.
Their best WR's are Keith Gavin & Nyqwan Murray, their RB's have been extremely overrated Akers has only rushed for 274yds this season & Patrick just 153yds & most of those came from Samford & NIU.
If this game was at Trailerhasee, then yeah I would definitely think it would be a close tough game, but @ The Rock I think they run into a buzzsaw. I'm not saying it's going to be a cakewalk, I'm saying they'll give us their best shot & our counterpunch will be so heavy & impactful that they can't deal with it.
Just go watch the Cuse game, they quit, they flat out didn't wanna be there. I'm not underestimating the rivalry game, that locker room isn't built the way we're used to with FSU teams, they got a punch of selfish guys who don't give a fck at all. And... You can't count out how much of a Corch Taggart is, it's not just the on the field performances, he's not a leader they respect & they don't respond to him the way it would be necessary for them to get up big for this game.
