[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 107573, member: 1792"] Early in the season FSU played The Citadel, which runs an option-based spread generally similar to Tech, albeit a mediocre 1-AA/FCS version of it -- so FSU got some very-early-season "game-scrimmage work" against it, no doubt better than what they'll see from their scout-team offense this week. (Some folks make a deal of Citadel getting 250 yards on the ground against FSU, I don't, because it was early in the season, and the 'Nole defense was kept pretty vanilla since they could out-athlete The Citadel.) Still: FSU's defense has not faced a rushing attack more complex or effective than Tech this season; BC was quite good, with a huge and veteran o-line, but Tech's run attack is better. I hope Tech's offense is good for at least 35 points -- doable, but not easy. Tech's defense has improved considerably the past five games, and defensive scheming has improved. Love the hustle, love the opportunistic nature of the squad. That said, coach Roof and company will have plenty to prep for, because Jameis Winston has some real weapons in WR Rashad Green, RB Dalvin Cook, and TE Nick O'Leary, among others. I'd be surprised if FSU scores less than 31 points. As for FSU online fans, it seems to me that while most are confident (and why wouldn't they be in light of their 28-game streak?), they respect Tech's ability to make things uncomfortable in Charlotte. The overwhelming hope in November was to face Duke, not "that damn Tech offense," in the conference title game. The recipe for a Tech upset is more of the same: eat clock/run well, get TDs instead of FGs, Tech commits not more than one turnover, and preferably gets two or more turnovers from the 'Noles. Possible, but not easy. Thus endeth the Captain Obvious Report. (y) [/QUOTE]
