"Herpa Derp, just put 8-9 guys in that thar box!"

Came back to Pensacola for a week ... It's amazing how many more FSU fans there are than usual. Load the box is their only suggestion, and that's all they'll need. Oh , and they best Clemson.

If I was going to try to stop this Auburn offense that I have seen play this year, I would put 8 in the box including a shadow for Marshall. I would essentially tell the shadow that every time Auburn runs the ball, put Marshall on his back if he has the ball or not. They do have pretty awesome corners so man to man would be in their favor probably 60% of the time but that other 40% will bite their arse. But then I am taking a week off this week redoing my kitchen floors and not a high profile DC either.

That's the way I would attack us if I were their DC, but to think that that's all they have to do is laughable. If you put 8-9 in the box and lock up man on the outside you are leaving your high safety and OLB's out to dry. It's like they've forgotten that we spread the field which makes it tougher to load the box.

I'm sure Gus has a plan for it.

FSU has one of the (if not the) best secondaries in football... if there's one team in the country that could possibly get away with it, it's FSU. Bama's weakness on D was corner/secondary play. Jones was abused all game long, and so was jarrick williams at safety.

Auburn had 97 yards passing againts Alabama... I seem more against FSU... (11 of 16 with 2 TD)

if marshall can do this with no turnovers, then I like our chances.

I think we're going to score on them... somewhere in the 28-38 range. We will move the ball and have success... the question is can we stop them?

because they led the nation in pass defense,

You know who is #2? Florida Atlantic. #3 Michigan St (legit). Who is #4?

and INTs...

Who is #1 in the country in INTs when playing FBS teams with a winning record? VaTech. But who is #2? South Carolina.

and they have NFL prospects.

I heard this a month ago...

this isn't that difficult to see... but every discussion seems to go back to schedule.

Because it is pertinent. They are an SEC team with an ACC schedule. They're not ten feet tall and bullet proof.

quote:

FSU faced really one good passing team all year -- Taj Boyd and Clemson.... Miami and Duke a solid, but nothing special.

---

Miami is anything but solid.

Clemson is a good passing team, but against winning FBS opponents they drop to 14th behind UGA, A&M 5th behind 4th FSU and Washington St that we played.

quote:

---

Yeah the key is can our D Line get pressure on Winston.

it is the most important matchup of the game... FSU's OL has given up sacks and TFLs this year. It's a matchup we can win... just gotta do it.

I think if you put Missouri in the ACC and they had FSU's schedule, James Franklin would not have gotten hurt and won the Heisman and they'd be headed to the BCS NCG.

I see a lot of similarities between the two. NOTE: I am not saying becasue we beat Missouri once that we'd beat them every time, but I think they are probably the same.

FSU does not equal the New England Patriots in their prime plus spy gate. The lofty place some are lifting them to is getting rather silly.
