I don’t know about that. I wasn’t completely sold on either one - but I thought FSU’s defense looked pretty damn good. And you know what they say: defense wins championships. True, they gave up some big yardage plays - particularly on important third downs - but they’ll get better. Hayes in particular looked like a mutant troll on steroids flying all over the field.
About their offense - Weatherford didn’t impress me, but he was having to do too much. The OL has to make some holes so that Lorenzo Booker can do his thing. Again - they’ll get better.
But here’s what I really came to say - their schedule? Not too tough. They’ve got a real game at Clemson and a real game at UF. Maybe, you can worry about the BC game, but that’s it. Especially given the way Maryland and Virginia played this weekend.
Just my two cents (not a FSU fan here), but I think that FSU could easily win the ACC this year. If so, I think they’ll end up top 10. At this point, just to say it, they’re a lot goddamn better than Oklahoma (currently ranked 10th), and they deserve to break into the top 10 this week.
Unless they lose the Clemson game, I think they’ll be top 10 for quite a while.
