Is FSU our easiest game?

I don't think so they have a lot of speed in the backfield and at receiver. Their OLine has struggled negating much of that speed. Our OLine is right there with theirs.

I have quite a few tickets for this game if anybody is interested. Several different pairs, and another block of up to 6 that I would sell in pairs, 4 or 6.

Face value plus a flat $10 (not per ticket) for shipping.

PM me if interested.

I am lower on FSU overall, but higher on Francois after last night. If he gets help he'll be lethal.

This is the one I'm worried about-lots of talent even though they are not well coached. They will come in ready to play and that could overcome mediocre coaching. This one will be hard to win.

Is FSU's Oline the dumpster fire everybody was saying earlier in the year?

I was talking to a fellow ND fan today at work. Florida native, follows FSU closely, generally pretty pessimistic regarding ND.

"Ya know John, this could be a 10 sack game and I'm not sure if I am joking or not."

We will see how a team failing expectations travels from 75 degree Tallahassee November weather to the frozen tundra of South Bend at 49 degrees and the attitude they decide to bring.

I'm seeing Miami Sun bowl all day.

FSU has forced 16 fumbles on the season but only recovered 3 of them.

How is that humanly possible?

If they come out like this I won't mind.

This has to be the first time senior day is a night game, right? Looks like all five remaining games will be prime time. Crazy

Has it always been scheduled as a night game and I just missed it?

Average November temps are 49H/34L, so it will probably upper 30's around game time. Seminoles will be huddled around a propane heater.

I think this might end up being the hardest game left if FSU has figured out their OL. They’ve tried 7 different combinations and looked competent against Wake. Their defense is by far the best defense we will see from here on out, and they’ve got a lot more talent than Pitt on both sides of the ball. Hopefully it is extra cold for this game.

Having grown up in Florida myself, I really think weather can play a huge role. If it’s cold, we will roll them. Just like the bowl game against Miami.

I’m confident that CBK & Staff have made recent November swoons a focal point. I don’t recall a Senior Day post-2012 where they didn’t come out flat & underwhelm.

Yeah they announced it a while ago, ND/NBC always post the times before the first week. I think they were anticipating this being a much bigger game, but obviously FSU has been very disappointing.

I'm happy it's a night game for the temperature being as low as possible, as previously pointed out, and BK has been very good in night games at home.

Get hype.
