Va Tech could very easily be NDs Miami this year. Blacksburg will be rocking.

I'm hoping VT is the better team here. I'd rather the Irish catch the better team halfway through the season rather than in week 10 when they are really getting beat up.

Going shotgun when you’re pinned at the 1. This Florida State offense is a steaming pile.

Just gave up a big play but overall I’m super impressed with VTs defense, especially their closing speed in space

Neither team is impressing me that much. VT had one successful drive to start the game and that’s it, FSU is completely disorganized on offense and is making tons of mistakes.

My main takeaway is that FSU has a really good looking defense, and VT has superior coaching.

It’s a joke how badly they’re playing on offense. Just horrible play calling and worse execution. Making Michigan’s offense look well coached.

Def not impressed with either team in total but VTs defense is flying and wrapping up well.

Yeah, classic Bud Foster defense. They’re quite good, aggressive, didn’t make many mistakes in this game.

This is a disastrous debut for Willie Taggart though. His team looks completely lost on offense. Maybe this team will figure stuff out as the year goes on, but if this incarnation showed up in South Bend in cold November they’re gonna get stomped.

No way FSU OL is that bad if rick trickett was still around. Complete mess on that side of the ball.

Good take. That is by far the worst FSU offense I have ever seen.

I don't think I'll ever witness an offensive line quite as bad as the '07 Irish, but man, if there is one, we just saw it.

I felt like everytime the FSU OL took the field, they should've had a NSFW sticker covered over them. They were getting raped left and right.

And it wasn't like VA Tech was just that good. They were pretty good, but FSU's offense was just that brutally incompetent.

I don't see them stopping Syracuse enough, Miami's defense will probably outscore FSU's offense. Clemson....I'm trying to count how many safeties will FSU give up in this one. I also think they'll lose at least one between NC State, Wake and Louisville. Heck, NIU is no guarantee for them.

They could very well be 3-6 when they show up here. Yikes.

FSU is trash. I wasn't very high on the Taggert hire to begin with and its quickly looking like the worst hire of the 2017-18 coaching hires.

That's a bit premature given it's the first game. lol


I watched pieces off and on last night. Defenses played well, but I was not real impressed with either team as a whole.

Its not even just last night. Taggert has a losing record as a HC. Not sure what people see in him that would make them think he'll do well at FSU.

FSU better win more games (except against ND). I sell booze for a living, and I sell more with a winning team.

I had to mute the TV after the first quarter because the FSU band literally plays the tomahawk chop song before every play. Every single play.

It's like SC and FSU's band leaders are long lost twins or something...
