2024 non-GT games thread

Norvell or whoever will have to take out the trash and get an infusion.
ETA: may be more of a booster problem.

I believe this is an institutional feeling of entitlement. It starts at the top. Yes, they were screwed last year. Difficult tests reveal character.

What has happened after that shaft? Their team mass quit their bowl game, their school sued the ACC to vacate, and their team has quit in this season. Three strikes, you’re out.

If I’m Norvell, I’m considering resigning. You cannot build a program with buy-in with that administration forming the backdrop behind me.

 

[Techfan02]

Don’t want any. No heart in that team. Don’t need them to infect our program.

Truthfully that's more of a reflection of the staff cause, I've seen teams play with everything for certian coaches.

Does DJ have any eligibility left?

Maybe. He was applying for another year of eligibility because of his injury.

He really should have stayed at Oregon State.

Who would take him now? I mean, seriously…...

“Nobody wanted him” after Clemson, and then Oregon State helped him look good.

He’s looked the best of any FSU QB. No one looks good when your receivers and OL play badly.

He’s old, but someone believes they can make a star player out of him. Worst case, G5. Maybe Liberty

At FSU, fans are worried their best players are all going to transfer. They probably have some good players, but I can’t name any.

Absolutely.
Someone will take a shot. It’s not hard to see that he is not the root of the problem.

I watch quite a bit of football but admittedly, i saw virtually no OSU plays (much less games) last year. Was FSU asking DJU to do vastly different things than OSU did? Or is it truly just an all around toxic situation in tally right now, regardless of scheme / abilities?

The rot was revealed.

Not many heroes left in college ball these days. Makes it even easier to pull for Tech, win or lose.

Really weird. I remember the FSU roster used to look impressive. Now they just look like every other college team.

On paper, FSU should be a contender. On turf, they’re at the bottom of the conference

FSU is at 49% on the Blue Chip ratio, and their last two recruiting classes have been stout. (BCR is the percentage of 4* and 5* players in the roster in the past four recruiting cycles). They “should” be loaded.

Saw one of those receivers let a perfect pass go right through his hands. If he'd caught it, he was going to get clobbered by a Duke DB, and I didn't think he wanted to catch it.
I think that team with all its talent folded up and quit after they lost to the Jackets.

 

[g0lftime]

The FSU youtube bloggers are saying Norvell will have to make major staff changes. From recruiting to teaching to motivation to game prep there are problems. AND THEY WANT TO GO TO THE SEC. What a joke. Last place in the ACC. HAHAHA
It begins with QB problems. With Ward they would have been a lot more competitive but their receivers are dropping passes that should be caught as well. Duke ate up their FR qb with stunts and changing formations. He just wasn't ready and his receivers didn't help. I suspect they will hit the portal real hard again next year but that sure didn't work this year. I am concerned they may come after Weinke to work with their qb's. I just hope he is happy at GT and we can pay him well enough.

 

[Techwood Relict]

I think the refs are the worst crew out there

In fairness, isn't this (a Friday night matchup with 1- and now 6 fsu) where the ACC should send it's worst crew?

 

[roadkill]

It begins with QB problems.

Duke’s defense, with their ability to get pressure and sacks, is an inexperienced quarterback’s nightmare. If anything, the game was a testament to how critical it is for a team to develop its backup QBs. Last night, one was a pick machine, the other had no internal clock telling him he needed to get rid of the ball.

"On paper, they may not have the highest blue-chip ratio, but the player development at FSU is so outstanding that they have three stars making All-ACC."

SEC? Ha! They’ll be lucky not to get relegated to a reduced share in the ACC after this season.

ETA: Still, had they not turned the ball over 3 series in a row they likely win that game.

Their QBs are bad. Their WR's are bad. But their OL is absolutely atrocious and is the primary cause for most of their offensive issues. Having Ward would have barely made a difference on this team.

Juanyeh's brother maybe? He was still making plays last night.

Their OL has quit. Rodemaker quit the team. Then they tried to buy time to grow Glen and Kromenhoek with Ukelele, but it didn’t work. Now it appears the WRs have quit as well. All waiting for the draft or transfer portal. They are quitters.

 

[GTBatGirl96]

I have no idea what lead to this disaster

Hello?!?!? US of course!
Just kidding.... But not really

If they had beaten us I think they would have had a different season.
