We've gotta keep their running game in check and force Ponder into 3rd and long situations. Also I worry about our punt and kickoff coverage teams.

10/19/2010 2:57:54 PM

iop1 with markedly less enthusiasm than I should have.

10/19/2010 2:58:55 PM

I also wonder about our Russell "Loose Cannon" Wilson situation

Glad we get 11 days to prepare for this game. Hope that helps us recover from this past weekend's debacle at EZU. State needs to look at the BC game film to see what they did to slow down Ponder and force him into so many mistakes. Also they need to look at the BC play calling that allowed Harris to run for 160 or whatever he had.

Hopefully RW will use this time to get his decision making back in check. I think this will be a close game, but I don't see us putting up enough points.

Semen holes: 34
Wolp Fack: 24

iop1 w00t!

No disrespect intended to VA Tech but this is definitely our most difficult game of the year. I see it as a coin flip in what should be a relatively close game. A handful of plays will make the difference in the end, and I foresee a couple of special teams plays being part of it.

we are 10wins, 5losses in the last three years after the mid season bye week.

We need RW back not Harrison Beck, he left the program, i thought.

10/19/2010 4:00:23 PM

OK -


Over / under for Russ throwing 3 picks.

I'm going over

10/19/2010 4:07:12 PM

Man, a win here would be huge!

10/19/2010 4:10:09 PM

we'll probably lose by about 5 TDs

so incredibly disappointed w/ this season right now.

not much else to say.

10/19/2010 4:21:13 PM

Really? We're 2-3 games ahead of schedule of my preseason predictions.

10/19/2010 4:23:52 PM

Really? I'm a little disapointed with the team's performance in the 2nd half of the VT game and the the ECU game, particualry the first quarter, and I'm disapointed with some of RW's decisions in both of these games, but if you told me at the beginning of the season we'd be 5-2 at this point, i wouldn't have believed you. Perspective.

I just assumed Ponder sucked. Take away Weber State and their scoring average is like 12 points.

that is crazy talk

10/19/2010 4:29:28 PM

i guess i should clarify: so incredibly disappointed w/ how this season has turned after our first four games.

10/19/2010 4:30:00 PM

^Yeah, but you can't ignore the Miami game. Watching that game + the ECU debacle zapped all my hopes for beating FSU. That being said, I'll still be there, cheering my head off and as optimistic as possible. I'll also have my parents there who are FSU alums, which will make things even more interesting/potentially shitty.

10/19/2010 4:30:22 PM

^ Watch the FSU/BC game. They were less than impressive

Even after starting off 4-0 I had no illusions of going undefeated, we still have a decent shot at getting to the ACC championship game and that was the only reasonable goal we could have had at any point this season.

OUr 6th game, the BC game was pretty impressive 44-17.

But I hear you.

There is still a chance this could be a "special" season. Perspective.

10/19/2010 4:39:25 PM

hard for me to get excited about this one after we lost to fucking ECU.

10/19/2010 4:44:11 PM

not really. we lost to ECU. what can we possibly do?

10/19/2010 4:50:16 PM

10/19/2010 4:51:24 PM

it's now clear our defense is really no better than it was last year, as we haven't beaten a team with an average or above offense thus far. even the shittiest offense we've faced put up 17 on us. because florida state is better offensively than any team we've faced, i predict we lose big.

us - 35
fsu - 52

10/19/2010 4:51:40 PM

10/19/2010 4:56:17 PM

I predict us pulling an nc state move and winning in a close one then lose 3 in a row

Well, we could technically still go 12-2 (right?).

hey guys, remember that time we played a pretty bad game and lost in over-time even after spotting the other team 21 pts and then everyone jumped off the band wagon and thinks we are going to lose forever?

10/19/2010 6:00:14 PM

that's not the point. the point is that i don't care about playing florida state if the team is going to shit on a fun season by losing to ecu.

still giving up lots of points. it's unfair to expect the offense to light up every team in order to win. score 30 points and 27 points and lose? it's bullshit.
