I get it was a first game. We didn’t know what to expect. But I remember fsu being super physical that game and they look soft as hell in every game since. It’s really weird

Gus magic. Defense was just brutalized that game.

Think the whole team gets demoralized when you don't get a single stop

They had a former Bama transfer (Earl Little?) who was fired up to play his old team and was in on the play on defense what seemed like the whole day.

Guess that intensity was only good for one game.

He wasn't the problem in the game though. That was a bad take people had at the time. The problem was the offensive and defensive lines just getting blown off the line on every play.

I choose to believe the rumors of flu running rampant were true. That game makes less sense as time goes on.

I understand that however he did have deer in the headlights look. I'd take this Simpson over that Simpson

Florida State is hard to prep for in an opener under Norvell because they have a brand new team every year via transfer portal and new coaches this year on top of it. See LSU x2.
