IMO the lack of depth is showing right now .Win or lose the Canes are showing no quit .They are fighting .I think that reflects on Al Golden.He is a good coach.He is on the Paul Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Watch List this year.
Possibly the toughest challenge Florida State has had yet till they face Alabama in the National Championship.
Can we bench Morris yet? Dude is awful. Has a couple great throws to start the game then its same old **** again, missing Coley on several touchdowns, missing guys on third downs, and making terrible decisions. If Duke's injury is serious, season is over anyways. Might as well start Williams.
We are frauds... Do you really think we can beat south Carolina or mizzu... I don't think so.. We are top 25 but not top ten..
Tough loss in a hostile building against a true contender. Fire Ireland? Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 4
Btw this win isn't good for fsu... It shows the acc is a joke and osu will jump fsu once they beat mich in the champ game.. Fsu will roll past Miami again and miss out on the national champ because the acc couldn't stand up to the challenge.. Heartbreaker fsu will finish 4th in the race behind Alabama and two other jokes... It's sad..
Once we get rid of the bcs and the NCAA we will finally get games like Oregon v Miami or Alabama v osu as regular season games and even a 2 loss team can get on a roll and win the national champ.. The bcs and the NCAA are jokes.... Can't wait 3 years from now games like Texas a&m v utep will no longer be scheduled and real teams will play each other every week...
Frauds is a bit harsh. We're not on FSU's level but I wouldn't call us frauds. Honestly, the NCAA as a whole has been weak this year.
That's never going to happen. If anything a playoff system encourages teams to schedule cupcakes even more. Now you can go undefeated playing just a couple tough in conference games, and only have to be the 4th best team instead of the 2nd. As long as you're undefeated, you're set.
We can thank Stephen Morris for being so terrible that we're forced to run Duke into the ground even though he's not built for it.
No Duke. No Dorsett. No Scott. Are we officially UGA at this point? Logan Thomas may be the only QB worse than Morris. So at least we have that going for us next week. Past that we should be able to carry ourselves to an ACCCG before getting badly outmatched by FSU again. Depth is still a huge problem. Golden has done a great job with some of Shantards upperclassmen. Green has stepped up. So has Kacy Rodgers. But for the most part, we're still not getting nearly enough from upperclassmen. And Stephen Morris is obviously the biggest example. He's awful. Is it the OC change? Is it the ankle? No, he's just not very good and teams have more tape than they did last year where he was the same inconsistent player who made bad decisions and displayed piss poor accuracy on short throws. We still have players like AJ Highsmith and Tyrone Cornelius playing big minutes. That's a big problem. Our safety recruiting has not been good and having 3 of our top LB's kicked off the team destroyed our depth there, especially when Eddie Johnson was one of our best defenders. Miami needs to seriously be considering the future. Ryan Williams? Kevin Olsen even? More Gunter at Safety and more PT for Burns. Give Grace and Kirby more burn at LB. More McCord and AQM at DE. More Chick at DT as I think that's where he's probably best at looking into the future anyways. More Sandland at TE as well. He's a weapon that we're making a mistake of not using. Did Walford bobble every single pass today? The **** was that. We can make these decisions and still make the ACCCG. Might even be a better team as anyone is probably an upgrade over Morris at this point.
OSU can still get to #3 next week, Oregon faces their toughest challenge next week against the Stanford defense. Alabama still has two challenges on their schedule - LSU and Auburn. OSU definitely has a chance to get to the National title game.
My whole thing about osu jumping fsu is the acc has yet to show up in big games, fsu looks like a giant among boys.. Starting too look like osu is being tested more week in and week out and the acc is jes a terrible conference with no real players except fsu...
Yeah Oregon and Alabama probably have a higher chance of losing a game than FSU or OSU. An FSU/OSU title game might not be completely out of the question. If they're both undefeated and Bama and Oregon have taken losses you kind of have to put them there. I suppose they could still slip Alabama in there as long as they win the SEC.
Morris is the same QB from last year. Same limitations, same weaknesses. He did play a good first half, though (to everyone's surprise). Losing Duke for the year really sucks though. He embodies the type of players you want on your team, not to mention he is really friggin good, too. I was happy to see him run well last night. OL played well mostly...Morris is bleh...and the D needs depth, which will come the next 2 classes (upcoming class included). Also, Stacy Coley is a gotdamn stud.
The biggest need on the D is a pass rush. We have an absolutely beastly DE class coming in. 4 highly rated DE's. Chad Thomas might start as a true freshman. Of all the pass rushers, he's the one that can also be dominant in the run game. My biggest problem is our 3rd down pass rush personnel is fine but on 2nd and 3rd downs, Chickillo and Green are awful at getting to the QB. Way too slow. No moves. We have no 3 down lineman at DE. I wouldn't mind seeing Chick start at DT/3-4 DE next year. I think that's his future. McCord needs to be starting next year. We need to start getting penetration and stopping plays in the backfield.
