Key matchups vs. FSU

[Canezum5]

This game is all on Richt.

They have a TF QB making his 3rd start, their OL is decimated & they're not actually playing for anything.

Kirby Smart has been kicking *** & taking names with a TF QB, a team half full of Richt recruits & beat ND in their house.

34 year old Lincoln Riley marched into the Horseshoe & slapped around Urban Liar, for perspective, Coach Richt has been coaching for 32 years.

Dave Doeren just beat'em at Doak, Wake **** near got'em too, anybody wanna dare say NC St & Wake are better than Miami?

Point being, Richt has an illustrious record with a phenomenal winning percentage, but he's struggled in big games. This will be the easiest big game he's ever had to Coach, need to get that Big Game monkey off his back & this is the perfect situation for it.

Don't care how ferocious FSU's Defense is, NC State had no problem figuring them out, Bama beat them with Calvin Ridley by himself, Petrino's overrated *** cracked their skull open last year, **** even Herman with mediocre G5 3-star talent at HTown whipped their ***.

I'm not saying their Defense sucks, what I'm saying is, a lot of other teams figured out how to move the ball with ease against their highly ranked athletic Defense. Their are no more excuses for Richt, don't care about OL or whatever limitations, figure it out & beat'em.

They are not impossible to beat, we've seen a bunch of other teams do it over the last 2 years, we shouldn't be the only team that can't beat them, rivarly be damned.

I trust & believe in this staff & think they'll get it done, I'm not giving FSU too much credit, Canes win 37-20.

Agree 100% man

 

[Cajuncane]

We need to hit this stick and hit him hard.Get into his head that he’s gonna Get laid out on every pass and he will start rushing things that will lead to a lot of chain swapping.If we hit him HALF as hard as we hit Frenchy last year I don’t know who their third string QB is but he will be finishing the game.

I’d pull one safety up,put the other one over the top of Tate’s side put Malik one on one on the other side and make the beanpole beat us through the air.Make them run at an 8 man front.

 

[TallyCaneFan]

I think we match up pretty well against them and agree that we should win. Like Lu said, we should've won last year against an FSU defense that was actually worse than this year's. In fact, I'll go a little further and say that we should've even won two years ago. The problem, it seems, is that we don't do any of the things on offense that the teams that have beaten FSU over the last couple of years do. For some reason, our offenses have been tailor-made for their defensive strengths and it doesn't seem that any our coaches have made the necessary changes to exploit them.

 

[JMG]

It's going to come down to can Malik Rosier beat this Florida State defense and put up enough points to win the game.

100% this.

 

[HighSeas]

To quickly follow up on the above, it's up to Richt to use Herndon and our inside WRs to push these guys back and have Walton/Homer trail and sit directly behind those routes. The Kansas City Chiefs do this amazingly well with Kelce and Kareem Hunt. It should be a staple in this game to get our RBs matched up in the middle of the field against their LBs.

The Rams do this as well. If you enjoy good coaching they are a must watch.

 

[JHallCanes]

Richt vs the defense is what matters.

He blew it last year. We are the better team this year. He needs to be on his game. If he's too predictable our OL and QB won't hold up.

 

[Taylor26]

Our OL has to set the tone early and take control and McDermont has to put it all to together he’s a Senior. If this happens we win easily. Otherwise we still win but it’s going to be close.

A- mutha fvckin- men!

We’re getting it done tomorrow, no more excuses.

 

[UMFarArcher]

Berrios has succeeded mostly against a zone coverage or if someone (safety or nickel) plays off of him like on the seam route against Duke.

Time for Chris Herndon to make some NFL money.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, winner, winner chicken dinner. Expect him to have a huge game tomorrow. That's the mismatch right there.

My concern is that this mismatch was available to us last year except we had an even better TE in Njoku and we did absolutely nothing to exploit it. Richt has left a **** ton to be desired in terms of play calling....

Play calling TE seams is a little more difficult when your O-line is getting the **** kicked out of them and you need to constantly keep 6 back to defend 4. I love all these generic "open the playbook" or Richt needs to hire an OC" porsters. I seriously saw someone saying we need to run more I formation...with our walk-on FB who's yet to see the field this year. For the porsters out there second guessing Richt's creativity or play calling, I present this little blurb:

"Richt was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1994 upon the departure of Brad Scott. Under Richt, Florida State had one of college football's most explosive offenses. In his seven years as offensive coordinator, the Seminoles ranked in the nation’s top five scoring offenses for five seasons, they were top twelve in total offense for five seasons, and top twelve in passing offense for five seasons. Richt coached two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks: Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke. Richt coached a total of six FSU quarterbacks to the NFL, including Ward, Weinke, Brad Johnson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Danny Kanell (New York Giants), Danny McManus (Kansas City Chiefs) and Peter Tom Willis (Chicago Bears). During this period, FSU won two national championships (1993 and 1999).[7] During this time, Richt won two national championships."

Trust me. Richt knows how to call a game. If he's not calling some of the more exotic stuff, it's because he either believes that it won't work against our opponent, or that we can't execute it with enough consistency to be effective.

Richt KNEW how to call a game, but I'm not convinced yet that he's got a handle on play calling.

One other thing - calling for FSU - I believe he was up in the box.

 

[3FW]

Our secondary is the only thing that concerns me.

 

[Taylor26]

We Must Use the TE tomorrow Especially going vertical their linebackers have a lot Issues covering tight ends.

Yup. My thinking as well. FSU's defense is solid, and I'm concerned about some of the match ups. But I'm not overly concerned with their offense given they're starting a TF. For the concerns I have with our offense against their D, FSU has those same concerns vice versa significantly more.

It's critical that Richt calls this one right tomorrow.

Agreed. Mcvay is a currently an animal with matchups. Watching his work inside the redzone is like going to school.

Well put! Idiots were sh*tting on me all week for saying Canes 31-13. You're right on the same money as me, I'm more worried about Vag Tech than this game. Our team needs to chill and play to their ability, we'll be fine.

Jr, I'm with U. Vag Tech is the one we must win to have the inside track to the championship game.

We better ******* win

Could not agree more!! Tired of seeing other teams throttle their defense!

Richt needs to drop 30+ on them or needs to step down and let someone else handle this

And before the apologists come out for richt talking about how great he was with FSU remember that was almost 3 decades ago!

 

[JgDaCane]

Berrios is about to go mother sucking off today! Watch. That boy is hungry!!!!!!!!!! **** Florida State I hope Jimbo Fisher dies on the sidelines.
