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

- I can nitpick about Dawson, but it’s hard to blame him when ur QB plays like that. His int, accuracy, decision making, and pocket presence were not up to standard. Offensive line is mid, everybody got beat multiple times throughout the game. Why does it feel like nobody is ever open at the top of Mensah’s drop backs?

- I think overall Heathermen’s game plan was fine, until he tried to be cute and FSU took full advantage every single time. Defensive line, we are missing those technicians on the edge. Blount is terrible with his hands, dude just bull rushes. Wilson is fine, but outside of him theirs 0 difference makers on the edge.

This wr core is mediocre and the qb isn’t as good of a processor as we thought. That plus the oline is just mid pass blocking, our drop back game will be up and down all year

Our trenches are not that great. OL can have one guy thoroughly beaten on every play.

DL is tough up the middle but our ends aren't world beaters.

Heatherman isn't stupid. He isn't playing man more because our DBs just aren't that good. I don't care what anyone says. The hype is all just that, hype. Our DBs are the most overrated position group on the team. It's been like straight Iraqi level propaganda. There is just no way you watch this same approach to playing us (getting rid of the ball quick) and not realize that good man will give your DEs an extra half a second to get there. This idea that he doesn't do it more because he is stupid is weird. He doesn't do it because he doesn't trust them. OJ may have made a diff but he aint here and this is the team we have.

OP post about rushing four on that last TD by FSU... dropping seven wouldn't of made one bit of difference. Lucas got his doors blown off all day by Deuce. If you want to chalk it off to game legs ok but... I just dont see him as one of the best DBs in the ACC. I saw Clemson's DB and Lucas aint anywhere close to that.

Those two hail marys were not by accident. On both plays we tried to intercept the ball when we should have been trying to knock the ball away.

Mallory is easily our best option at RB but even after ripping off 10 to 20 yard runs he was consistently benched for guys who aren't that great. If the middle is clogged he immediately busts it outside with ease. Fletch would pause there and wait and then get nothing on most of those plays. On that TD run every other back on this team gets tackled from behind. Pringle is just used wrong. Fletcher is stuck in this wait and see run mode this year that aint working on a consistent basis. Lyle did some ok things but FSU's run defense is prob the worst we will see this year and the only back that was able to take advantage of that was Mallory. If he doesnt start from here on out it's because out coaches don't put winning first. Fletch seems to be more of a second half bruiser or someone you put in for pass protect.

Agreed with almost everything. Heatherman deserves some criticism but people talking about the blitz on the play lucas got beat and not the coverage from lucas is baffling to me. Its like people just criticize whatever they can see
