re: Florida State Interviews: Cocky or Confident?

Clemson and Duke are both good wins against pretty quality teams.

Beat Clemson 51-7 and Duke 45- 7

And I probably think the Duke game....was their worst offensive showing.

I think it's a little unfair to say they haven't been tested at all. But their slate is without doubt easier than Auburn's.


Florida State is, in my opinion, a better team than Auburn. But then again, I thought Oregon was the better team too, and look how that turned out. Gus Malzahn is made of pure magic and football win, so FSU would be wise to stay focused.

I hope they maintain that over confidence all the way up to the time Gus hoists the Crystal in the air.

Beat the ever lovin shite out of them....I live too close to Tallahassee and don't want to hear their crap.

I think it's a great attitude for them to have.

Same attitude they had years ago. I've seen this movie before. Didn't work then and won't work now. Some things never change and that better include the SEC winning another BCS title against FSU.

GO AUBURN!

Overconfidence is the best way a "better" team will lose. I see it all the time.

They only scored 37 on Florida.

Boston College was definitely their WTF slip up game, but Auburn lost to LSU and has had half a dozen close calls besides that. They had no business playing so close to Mississippi State and Washington State.

We (Auburn) weren't that good at the beginning of the year. Like most teams we've improved a lot over the course of the year but after LSU whooped us we used the by week to revamp the offense. If you notice most of our big passing games were in September. After that the coaching staff realized where the strengths were and changed things around. Lots and lots of people expected Auburn to lose to both of those teams.

Clemson gets discredited alot because they have been blasting teams in the ACC the last three years and their critics always come back with the "they haven't played or beaten anyone." However, since Morris and Boyd took over three years ago, in addition to steamrolling all the ACC scubs, Clemson has beaten Ohio State, LSU (without Watkins and Bryant), Virginia Tech (three times), Auburn (twice), Florida State and a healthy Georgia this past year. Clemson has proven that they can play with the big boys once they step out of the weak ACC conference. So, that being said, FSU's embarrassing blowout of Clemson should not be discounted simply because Clemson is an ACC school.

Yes, true, but then one remembers the 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl and a big loss to FSU this year on the national stage. Clemson fans ought to be cheering for FSU really hard.
