If we get any o line changes will be during bye. Rumor is in fall camp Latham was not close to Owens

How in the ever living frick is this guy still starting. Are we just going to ride it out with this frickin scrub?

Why not just play Latham or one of these other stud recruits, let them get their growing pains out of the way, and have an at least serviceable OLine by the time we play auburn and potentially anyone after..

Blows my fricking mind.


If they don't make a change during the bye they aren't making one.

No idea. He’s easily beat after the initial block if the defender moves, so he holds.

He’s almost guaranteed to either hold or give up a free man to the QB.

He’s basically a warm body in the field.

This could apply to our entire secondary as well

I think Latham is behind George right now. They've been working Latham at RG.

Facing these type of offenses I don't understand why Kool Aid isn't taking the place of one of the safety's for coverage reasons. You don't need a downhill safety for the most part today but surely not two on the field.

Tennessee is a heavy run option team? They don't want to throw it around

Yeah and im waiting on him to get in bc Owens just aint got it.

What misses did we have on the OL that we have Owens at RT? Cohen could have played RT if we had some more guards. We must've had 2-4 recruiting busts.

When I heard reports out of fall camp owens was playing RT I knew we were fricked. Owens would have to skip class, show up 30 minutes late to practice for a week, and punch one of the little people water boys to lose his starting job.

He could allow 20 sacks in one game get Bryce injured for season and he'd still be the starting RT.

Yeah and why I was glad he left the XM channel he was on in the morning. At least Danny shows his love for FSU and his true feelings about the SEC. I respect that but Greg on the other hand is horrible.

Good. Machine has been putting a bunch of boring dogs up for queen for years.

Just looked at the half time stats.

Pretty decent overall.

One issue is UT Avg Yds/Completion is 15.5 versus Bama 10.4

I wonder if they understand that the Machine voting block doesn't represent anything close to a majority of the student body, but merely a majority of the student body that votes in these kind of things.
