Re: FSU DL being nations best

Maybe it’s not a great thing for kids to have 100k jewelry and Lamborghinis

I'm all for people getting paid properly and protected for their labor. By gawd it's kinda my whole raison d'etre

But NIL in the way it is now is setting kids up to fail

There's gotta be a better way. Some middle ground between kids getting nothing and a potential for a worthless degree while people are making people bazillions of dollars off them, and giving them life changing money before they're ready and haven't proved anything yet.

It's a real bummer. It only ends up hurting the kids

Seriously that was one of the dumber comments ive seen recently. Guy took over a dumpster fire of a program and has completely rebuilt it in 3 years. Dropping one game he shouldnt doesnt change anything that he is their guy unless things come unhinged this year and next. Even a step back for the whole year this year doesnt put him on the hot seat unless they win like 4-5 games.

Agree this loss doesn't put him on the hot seat, but I could see shit going sideways for FSU this year and going .500. They have five very loseable games left - @smu, Clemson, @nd, @Miami and Florida.

Seems some 'flakey' report thinks different... Nick Saban Will Return To Be The Next Florida State Seminoles Head Coach in 2025

It's really weird to me that DJ's statistically best game came against ND. We won the game, but he lit us up. Since then he's been ass.

IIRC, he set the passing record for opposing QB at ND Stadium

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Pure dual threat qbs give me nightmares. When they're on...they can be massive issues. No matter the defense.

Especially when they’re first time starters who grew up rooting for ND

 

[IRISHDODGER]

GT could be sneaky this year

Bump

Seriously, can we be done w/ pre-season polls?

Very impressed w/ Santucci. If/when Golden leaves (not that we want him to), this guy has to be on the list. Is he related to former Domer Dan Santucci? I know he was an analyst at ND.

FSU still has the rest of the season ahead of them. They were not impressive especially on offense but it’s not like they got blown out. Not saying I think they’ll win the ACC but ND could be in a similar boat after game 1. TAMU isn’t expected to finish better than 8-4. If ND wins, the sky is the limit. If they drop game one (assuming it’s not a blowout loss), all is not lost. But it’s not easy to reel off 11 straight wins after an opening loss b/c the pressure gets ramped up.

ND’s D has shut down way better dual threat QB’s than either of the dudes playing today.

Agree, because we exploited their oline and golden mixed the hell out of back end coverages

 

[Crazy Balki]

That’s 42-43 starts per guy. How is that possible? Are they all 5Ys?

Yep. All 5th years. All but one is a transfer.

 

[INLaw]

gt’s right tackle had himself a game

I was scratching scalp about this as well.

 

[Valpodoc85]

FSU may have had trouble with travel/first game yips. They maybe a spoiler moving forward….

How about no NIL until junior year?

That comment I can agree with 100%. This could be the season that weakens his grip on the role and a tough loss or two early next season make his seat warm up quickly.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

I’ll take this outcome 100/100 times, but this really takes away what little meat was on the bone from a schedule standpoint.

Sure GT’s stock is up, but the dreaded eye test needle doesn’t move as much beating a pair of lower ranked 9-3 type teams over one top 10 team.

Yep, if Florida State doesn't turn it around we are at high risk of having zero games against teams that are in the playoff conversation. I don't think A&M or USC will get there, personally.
That'll hurt us if we drop two and find ourselves in the mix for one of the last at-large spots. It may even hurt us in seeding at 11-1.

How about NIL tied to academic progress and degree completion as well?

 

[IrishTusker]

Michigan had a very weak schedule last year and won a title. And if we drop two, I don't know if we deserve to be in the playoff anyway.

Michigan won an asterisk

 

[Terry Jillery]

Won’t be long before Deion is at FSU and NIL will never look the same.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

I doubt they would look to bring Deion back with the way Colorado is trending. If he starts winning, it will be a different story.

Michigan had a weak schedule, but was still able to stamp their ticket with a win over an undefeated team ranked #2 the last week of the season.

I don’t see any opportunity to have a “stamp” game now.

Guess we just need to run the table to be extra safe.

Those are games where mysteriously the hot water for showers somehow not working.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

They'll play @SMU, UNC, Clemson, @Miami between now and us. They could drop a couple of those, and what exactly would they be playing for at that point

How ironic would it be if our "weak schedule" was actually a net wash because FSU is ass and GT ends up being legit

 

[ulukinatme]

I'm wondering if FSU doesn't end up starting someone else in November by the time we face them. I haven't looked at their QB recruiting lately, but if they drop another game they may decide to give a younger talent reps for the future.

 

[notredomer23]

That contract extension is looking Weis-esque. Woof

Three freshman (one red shirt that started the ACC Championship and bowl game last year).
