I would imagine that a lot of recruits are in a holding pattern for the Gators, Miami as well. I guess that’s why so many people point to next weeks game in Gainesville as so big. Both teams need to start the season w/ momentum. I think UF and Napier need the win more than the Canes. If Florida loses at home to an instate rival it’s going to be tough.

Usually very competitive matchups, they were kind of a must watch games in the 80s. You're right UF needs this one, their schedule is brutal

I watched the replay on the Acc network tonight......................I thought Georgia tech actually beat them worse than the score indicated.

Not just from this game. 11-1 would still put an FSU team inside the top 11 at the end of the year, easily.

I just don’t see them going to 11-1 after that game. They can definitely improve, but DJ U is pretty much the same as he’s always been. I don’t see him getting them an ACC title.

At least they don’t have to worry about being undefeated and getting left out of the national title picture. If I were Nole fan I would be super excited to be spared that pain. Probably don’t even have to worry about being bounced from the playoffs in the first round.

What's crazy is that he had these two starts as a true freshman in 2020 when Lawrence was injured and he looked amazing:

He has never looked remotely the same again.

Wasn't his next against UGA? They spent the evening sitting on his head and I wonder if that kind of ruined him. It's possible if he doesn't have the mental makeup to deal with adversity.

I remember that Notre Dame game. He played great. He was even in the Dr. Pepper commercials for Fansville before the next season. I kind of feel bad for the guy. By all accounts he’s a really good guy, he’s back in the spotlight after being up in Corvallis and he’s taking all the blame for the loss. It’s a tough position to be in.

He also had weapons in that game (Amari Rodgers, Justyn Ross, Travis Etienne) that he didn't have once he became the starter. Clemson's drop off isn't just about QB play but also a lack of elite offensive weapons generally. Dabo won those titles with elite QB, WR, and D-line play. He didn't roll 3-4 deep at every position like Alabama and UGA do.

I do feel back for him though - he followed Watson and Lawrence at Clemson and was a 5-star, so there was just an assumption he was going to be as good as them.

FS may not be a great team, the rest of the season will show what they really are. My guess, without looking at their schedule, is that they do really well. IMO, this game was pictured by FS as a gimme. Too much hype from last year and preseason this year got into the kid's heads. I think they will learn from this and do well. But, maybe not - that's what makes CFB so much fun, seeing it play out.

There's no way for them to not be 100% guesswork considering the season hasn't started. You just have to take them with a grain of salt until there's more data.

or just waiting on posting any polls until you have the data. The CFP exists just fine without a preseason or early poll

or at least don't consider it an upset when a #10 loses to an unranked team.

Duke’s corners and safeties were stride for stride w/ Clemson wideouts last season. That’s not supposed to happen. Not to mention Clemson does not put many offensive lineman in the League.

In FSU’s defense, this wasn’t nearly as bad as the last time they played a school from GA. Next time we should just send Ga State or Ga Southern down to Tallahassee to even up the odds!🤣😂🤣

Seriously though, Tech looked much better. Key looks like he may be the real deal, I was impressed at how they played after FSU ran over them on that first drive. They pretty much shut down FSU’s running game after that, and that wasn’t supposed to happen. They also made the Seminoles D-line look normal. They beat FSU in the trenches and they weren’t supposed to. Good for them, and well done!

definitely sounds like Key is doing it the right way. from the lines out. and not as many transfers as FSU has done.
