I promise you the staff would not have trusted Tua to "sling it" vs FSU.

Tua would have had 100 yards worth of sacks vs FSU. That's ok though... he is a true freshman. He needs time to develop. Kinda like another QB I can think of.

Both at fault there. Tua threw that just a bit high and fast, Harris in the wrong spot. But he was wide open, so was it really the wrong spot lol

Tua would've had his first TD to Irv Smith, but Najee went the wrong damn way and was in front of the route haha.

I'm hoping it's just the game is fast but will slow down.

Both Akers amd Dobbins look tremendous ao far

Well, I think it's clear that Tua isn't ready.

I have tbh though, this game was kinda meh. Losing those two LBs might've hurt us a lot.
Idk why we didn't force Jalen to pass the ball downfield

I think it's fair to compare him with Henry. It just took a while to get it together

I hope we improve a lot here over the next couple of weeks or this might turn into a down year quickly.

Some guys get a feel for the game faster than others.

Doesn't mean Najee won't be a monster down the road.

Najee so far has been underwhelming. 

No holes for him to run though on alot of his carries.

The reason you dont know why is because you don't know shite about football.

Their DB's have been playing 6-8 yards off our WRs trying to keep them in front of them. The correct read is to throw under that coverage.

Don't worry we will all still think you know what you're talking about while you bash Hurts though. Clearly you see things the rest of us don't.

Damien Harris in mop-up duty in 2015 looked like dogshit consistently. I called him 2 yard Harris at that point.

It just takes time. They have the tools, but just need time.

We have to sign some elite corners this class.

This FSU scored more on our defense than the real FSU.
