Nov 9 | Florida State

[notredomer23]

Wasn't that about the same for the NIU game? Yikes! Luckily, the Irish are now playing better overall and lightening never strikes that same place twice, right?

ND has covered against every P4 team they’ve played. FSU has quit. They didn’t even have 200 yards of offense against UNC. They will not be motivated for this game. They want this season to end and to get to their bye week next week

 

[Katzenboyer]

I’m telling you guys, FSU is flat out trash. These guys are bums that have quit.

ND cruises. 55-10 or something like that.

Good call. Style Points Freeman will hammer down to the end and top the 42-16 beating SMU laid on the Griminoles.

 

[Irishdawg]

Liking the 6:30 NBC primetime game. Although, same time as Bama/LSU. These are essentially playoff elimination games going forward.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

It's going to drop below 50 degrees and might be raining, on top of the fact that if it was 75 and sunny FSU wouldn't want to be there because they really don't want to be anywhere at this point.

Show up, show out and take care of business. Fuck NIU. I'm so sick of having to skirt around posts about that game in every damned thread. Stupid shit happens in life. You suck it up and move on or whine like a cunt.

Their kicker has made 10 FGs this year, half of them from over 50. That's gonna be the only way they score, unless it's late vs the 2nd and 3rd string.

So…uh…when do you sleep?

Friday night, then drive home after the game/Roccos and sleep Sunday.

Kicking isn’t as easy in 35 degree windchill.

ND is -24 per FanDuel.

Not touching that with a 10 foot pole.

I'm gonna touch the fuck out of that pole.

 

[FWIrish4]

I'm gonna touch the fuck out of that pole.

Freeman is 9-0 ATS with extra time to prep (season openers, off byes, bowl games - excluding fiesta bowl).

Average cover by over 2 touchdowns per game.

So yeah maybe a good bet!

 

[Irish#1]

Too many things in favor of the Irish for this to be close.

I get it, but 24 points is a lot. And it's at home where we haven't exactly played the best. I'm not saying we lose, but I could see this being one of those weird "backdoor cover by FSU where we control things from start to finish, but the score is closer than it actually is" kinda games. Gut says something like 37-7 late and then FSU starters score a garbage time TD against our 2s/3s.

I like the over

Wish the weather was going to be colder, but this early November warm front looks like it's sticking around all week.

60 degrees for the high, lows in the upper 40s, might rain. Don't know if that will be enough to make FSU want to stay in the locker room like in 2018 under Willie Taggert. Guess we'll have to do that the old-fashioned way on the field....

 

[Hautian Domer]

I think we win, but this one just worries me slightly. I know FSU is bad, but I also know FSU has some great individual talent at spots. I just don’t want Riley and the team to come out flat, make mistakes and turnovers and allow them to hang around into the 4th. Thankfully, this is a night game. We’ll need the crowd to be energetic and enthused.

I think this FSU team doesn't have a lot of talent though. I've only watched a few games but BC had equal or more talent IMO. That isn't great!

Guy...FSU DOES NOT HAVE GREAT INDIVIDUAL TALENT. Stated as simply as possible, this is a bad football team that does not have highly-rated recruits that may turn up and become gamebreakers.

There is NO ONE on the offensive side of the football that is scary or a Day 1-2 NFL guy. No one. Their recruiting classes have been nothing but mediocre since Norvell got there. Their QB situation is a disaster. The OL sucks. Even their DL, which may have some collective "talent," is nothing like the FSU days of old. And the back end/LBs are mid as well.

Their offense is an abomination. Their team defense rankings fall in the 70s-100s overall. This is not a talented football team, and they've quit.

Some of you are literally seeing ghosts, LOL.

 

[Blazers46]

I don’t see how ND loses. This isn’t a scrub program. How do you not get up for FSU?

As a Special Teams coordinator, I will not stand for the slandering of S/T units.

In seriousness though, Fitzgerald—their kicker—is actually legit.

 

[Huntr]

Kinda tired of the scarred and scared ND fan schtick going on, not just here.

Literally, the ONLY good fsu players are the K and P.

Everyone else, everyone, sucks.

Can't block, can't pass, can't catch, can't run.

Also, they've quit. There was a play in their game Saturday, UNC on O, shovel pass on 3rd down and long. It went for a 49 yd TD. I would have benched 3 or 4 guys based on their effort on that play alone.

He's the best K in college football.

I'm confident ND rolls this Saturday and am not rushing to the defense of the bed wetters, as ND has been playing really good complimentary football as of late. However, let's not act like MF hasn't dropped games that ND is supposed to win over the past three years. I think some people have worse scars than others.

The vibe with Freeman the past month and a half seems different. He's using the week 2 loss to fuel and keep the boys focused. Some of the fanbase are clearly having a hard time letting go, though. I know I certainly had my doubts in the mid-September, early October games, but I'm over it. We are a very solid football team on both sides of the ball.

Florida boys think 60s is cold.

Some people haven't followed the last 30+ years of ND football close enough and it shows.

30 years?
