Whew!! Some thoughts on this FSU victory...

Mensah needs to start taking some of those 4-6 yard scrambles available to him instead of waiting in a collapsing pocket for something to open up. This OL is not last year's or the year's before. He's holding onto the ball too long. And he doesn't have a particularly strong arm where he can wing it if he doesn't have an ability to step into a throw.

If Mensah wants to make it in the NFL he has to speed up his progressions and accept the safety pass as part of it.

I was watching Jordan Love this last weekend against the cowboys and he's literally going through a progression a second and then dump off by 3. It's incredibly methodical. There's no panic once he gets to the last option, it's just 1...no...2...no...ok, nothing's there, dump off.

And Love has just as much time as Mensah back there. The choice is happening fast. I feel like for a lot of college QBs the dump off is always ignored until there's panic. It should help settle him if he just accepts it.

We don't throw to the backs much if its not a designed pass, like in duo. Our leading receiver in the backfield is Fletch with 4. Pringle has 4 too.
 
Wasn’t sure where to post it…but Spafford did a **** of a job replacing Toney on that third down. Ran his route, caught the ball and got a first. …wasn’t much but a big spot to be put into and then deliver

FSU putting a NT on Rodriguez and then having SJ block a bigger DE is going to be something we see more of the rest of the way. I liked the pitches but we need counters and traps to help this OL. They can’t move big bodies against their will. It should not take 7 games and a near loss to resolve.

this particular starting ol.....witht he type of interior we have should 100 percent have more ZONE Blocking scheme plays...the dup...and smash mouth sh*t is definitely NOT them at all.

Mirabal (who clearly looks like he tells dawson the run plays) needs to adjust...i honestly thought they would run more outside zone (steal the zone louisville has been running for years) but they still didnt do it. FSU ends DO NOT set the edge and no matter how big n muscular those twins are they didnt even do a good job of doing it in high school.

We could of gashed them even more if we had any or any toss outside runs..we easily scored on one...

Pitts lbs come down hill balls to the wall....i dont think if we go with our typical game plan we will be able to do what we did to them last year running with this ol

im a fan of spafford. He knows where to sit down in routes..and has real speed.....looks like with work he will be inheriting the slot position.

He has been coached extremely well at Mission Viejo HS
It’s basically the public equivalent to Mater Dei in SoCal
Dude has IT imo
