Watching their game, it was obvious that they're missing key, fundamental pieces to their team. Samford, ranked in the top 10 of the FCS, will play Florida State next week.

They were a playoff team last year, and I really feel like Florida State has one of the worst teams they've had in the modern era.

Samford's highlights from their last game. Here.

No. Taggs offense works well when he vastly outtalents the other team

I would pee all over myself if they did lose that game. The girls school fans would be ready to lynch Tag right then and there.

I don't think it's a problem of his offense outside of the turnovers and horrendous OL play. I think it's his defense. VA Tech's offense wasn't that good, but FSU's DBs are awful, terrible and Samford's Quarterback is actually really good.

Their defense looked good after the first quarter I think it will be a decent defense. Add in FSU has horses up front and will likely create a lot of pressure on a Samford line. I suspect they go for a blow out to try and show all is good...though we know it isn't

Their DBs never looked good all game. Not once.

Expounding on their DBs:

Delvin Hodges (Samford's Quarterback) is a senior who almost threw for 4,000 yards in 2017.

Against Georgia he went 26 - 35 (74.3%) 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions for 227 yards.

He holds 21 school records including:

Career Pass Completions
Passing Yards In A Game
Career Passing Yardage (10,000+)
Highest Percentae In A Game (74.3% w/ over 10 passes), Season (70.8%) and Career (68.5%)

These are just some examples.

If FSU's DBs are close to how bad I think they are, this game could quickly become a shootout. Samford is not a joke of a team this year.

FSU DL will win them enough games to not be a total embarrassment this year.

I'm curious to see if Francois chooses to go out like Rex did with Zook, infamously calling F&G plays in the huddle. You know that Mickey Mouse shite is going to get stomped by a few more defenses this year.

I just don't think that defensive line is enough -- especially if Delvin could navigate Georgia's Championship Bound team without making any mistakes.

There's no Roquan Smith at FSU, and VA Tech looked completely one dimensional and they were still able to move the ball.

Excuse my ignorance, what's F&G?
