What all these guys have [finally] begun to concentrate on is defensive line strength and depth. This is why FSU is getting so much positive reps this pre-season. They are recognizing that if you shut down the run, pressure the passer with D-Line rushers, and swing fresh bodies in all the time, it doesn't matter that the other team has a fast-paced hurry-up offense which tries to spread the field, nor does it matter that much if your own offense is stone age. Alabama and LSU have demonstrated that so convincingly to these guys lately that they've finally caught on to the D-Line power-&-athleticism, backed by speed everywhere recipe for winning 21st century football.

If our own D-Line is what we [homer] NDers think it is, then we will shut down almost everyone and surprise most. Then even a mediocre offense wins. [this is also why I continuously harp on taking the "extra" D-Lineman in the recruiting cycles.]

But LSU and Bama normally have killer running backs.

FSU will have atleast one loss in the ACC. Either Clemson or Virginia.

They wont lose to Clemson cause its at home and I dont seem it happening in Tally imo and they wont lose to Virginia cause they dont play em. I think NCSt has the best chance to upset em...I freaken hope they do! Oh and I think VaTech will suck this yr, although i would like to be wrong.

Virginia Tech will not suck this year. Although I believe that everyone's over-rating the quarterback there, Bud Foster has his defense back together, especially the D-line. Foster will make it very hard for people to score, and his bunch will score some themselves. VT could easily be imagined to make a mess out of EJManuel and win that game in an ugly offensive contest.

OMM, I spoke too strong regarding them sucking as a whole. Their Offense will suck imo. They lost their top RB and WR, there Oline is a joke (see sugar bowl). I think their defense will be solid but as a whole I dont see their team being very good. Now hopefully EJ has one of his standard choke games against em.

Even the staff at Warchant told me that they highly doubt FSU would go to the NC. Langston told me that Herbie only said that FSU would win the NC for something to talk about, not because he really thinks that.
