Ain't no law against drinking the claw

once we get Barrett on the Court there will be, God willing.

Beer, liquor, schnapps, and wine are the acceptable alcohol consumables for men to drink. Im not convinced even the best attorney can make a reasonable argument that White Claw and its associates falls under any of these categories.

Anyone worried about not playing a game for like 20 days?

Should be fresh, just hope not rusty.

I think there are areas where we could get frustrated. They may come out antsy with some false start penalties, sloppy tackling, etc but I think over the entire 60 mintues we will take care of business.

Clark Lea and the D boys should feast and I think Williams will run wild.

If the new quarterback is a run first guy then I'm excited to see the defense come after him.

North Carolina was certainly rusty after 3 weeks when they played Boston College.

I certainly expect it. If we win the toss, wouldn't mind seeing BK elect to receive, use our scripted plays to our advantage and get out to a quick start (hopefully). Then let the game come.

Would be nice to start with that cushion.

Outside of Marvin Wilson, are there any studs on FSU's D Line? In particular, I'd like to see how Eich does against a great Edge player. I didn't catch much of his matchups against the good Duke DE Week 1

I don't know about his specific performance against Chris Rumph but as a team they did quite well. PFF had something on how well they handled the potential 1st round pick.

My memory is that Rumph went mainly against Hainsey with help from Kraemer, and got hurt several times to the point of having to limp off. Kraemer sent his DT off before halftime and he could barely play in the next game either.

Josh Kaindo was that 4-5* de who starts for them who's supposed to be pretty good. From IMG. Seems like he's hurt a lot and not sure if performance has lived up to expectations to this point.

PFF Game Preview


This Florida State team's greatest strength was supposed to be its menacing defensive line, but they’ve been a let down so far, just like the rest of the team. Marvin Wilson, Cory Durden, Joshua Kaindoh, Robert Cooper and everyone else on the team have produced pass-rush grade below 70.0. As a whole, their pass-rush has generated a 22% pressure rate, the worst in the ACC. Keep in mind that they had a game against Jacksonville State, and they still couldn’t find a breakthrough.


FSU D has been ass. Asante Samuel has been really good.

Has Norvell already lost the locker room?

No. He made a couple of mis-steps earlier, but that has smoothed over. He is still working on getting rid of the chaff on the roster. They have had a lot of guys enter the transfer portal. They continue to recruit fairly well at the skill positions, but they are a year from even being respectable. Their great hope is Brock Purdy's brother at QB - might see him later this year.

They've been unexpectedly bad enough on D that the DC is getting some heat. I think the ND offense will feast once they shake off some rust. BUT, they do have some skill players on offense and can break a long one. ND can't get complacent on defense. Just attack that shithole OL over and over.

I think most of their fans know this is a multi-yr rebuild and hope the Miami game is rock bottom. It won't matter in their grand scheme even if ND blows them out by like 30. They don't care about ND like they care about Miami.

Liking ND -20.5

Think BK is FINALLY realizing he needs play to dominate, not play to win, if he wants a real shot in Playoffs. Book needs to throw for 400 and step up his game if we are going to have a shot against Clemson. Excited to see Austin get some targets.

Part of the way Clemson reloads is by demolishing teams early and letting their backups get experience. I would like to see ND get in on that philosophy.

It gives me pause if players who were established and productive before he arrived have a fall-off in performance. Particularly if nobody else is stepping up.

Some of it has been due to Covid but through 2 games we've played a lot of guys. Lots of snaps for some youngsters and backups.

I'm thinking a dominant win will consist of more rushing and less passing, way less than 400 yards. Depends on what FSU tries to take away but so far the answer has been neither so I'm expecting we'll take the safe route and RTDB.

Bingo. This has been my biggest gripe with him his entire run with us.
