FSU's offense has without a doubt taken a step back this year. Golson is not going to carry his team down the field to win the game. He's in there to manage the offense and not make mistakes. Noles defense looks very good this year IMO. Last time BC was shut out was 2010 against VT and FSU hasn't had a clean sheet since 2013 against Maryland. I predict it's going to be a lot like the game in 2008 against FSU. The score is low enough for Miami to catch a break and win but we're not going to catch that break.
Everyone keeps talking about this team or that being down. That may be true, but nothing I've seen so far suggests we're any better than last year.
One thing I've noticed is more picks, I think 7 already compared to 10 all of last year. Our great defenses always produced more takeaways, last few years have been putrid. Will be interested to see if we make more big plays on defense this year.
