I'm not gonna hold it against him if we get rocked a little bit. All of our expectations have changed thanks to the early success from the coaching staff etc. gotta be realistic though - mediocre secondary at best, and 3 true freshmen LBs. Not to mention the DL is in a brand new scheme and still not where we need to be physically/strength wise.
It took years for Butch to build his teams physically, and our fan base sorta expects it now after 4 games.
FSU is big, fast, strong. Dalvin is arguably the best back in CFB. This is a tough offense to stop. No one has stopped it.
I agree we do need to temper our expectations based upon the things you stated.
However, I disagree with the notion that no one has shut down FSu's offense.
Ole Miss def. shut it down. The problem was the fact that they went conservative and allowed FSU back in the game.
If Ole miss continues to play the attacking aggressive style they played in the first half they win that game and shutdown that offense completely.
If Diaz sticks to his promise we are going to finish the business Ole Miss couldn't.
