FSU game thread

[stinger78]

Thought this was an interesting breakdown of our offense by some FSU guys as they try to figure out what offense we'll break out against them.

First thing I notice is the Tech-UGA game they are breaking down in the 2022 game in Athens prior to CBF.

Maybe the Carolina mob will have their best refs officiating. I’m sure they love FSU up on Tobacco Rd after the past 12 months.

Not that much of a surprise I don’t know many intelligent Noles that I’ve crossed paths with

These guys are talking about the 2023 GT team but watching and analyzing the 2022 team in an attempt to predict how our offense will attack FSU. What they are watching is pre-OC Faulkner, pre-H King, pre-J Haynes, and pre-Singleton/Blacburn/Lane in a game led by our 3rd string QB. What a major goofup!

FSU Scouting Masterminds. Nobody associated with FSU media has bothered to look at Tech farther than what's on the surface. Judging by the comments from DT Josh Farmer at ACC media days, the Seminoles don't see Tech as much of a challenge. According to the analysts on Wake Up War Chant - FSU now has their scout team mimicking Haynes King. On the FSU Offense, their OC is suspended for this game - so Coach Norvell's coaching responsibilities will be more stretched than normal. The FSU media is still labeling their offense as a work in progress and that is causing them concern (particularly at WR). It's a perfect scenario for us.

This was the 2022 GT team, QB Gibson. These guys do even know that 15 is Gibson and not H King. They earlier called 17 Pyron on the outside TD run. This is a major mistake by these FS guys. It is a good thing thse guys are not coaches.

I dunno. I’d be fine with them being FSU coaches.

I wasn't aware of this, which could be significant. If Buster Faulkner was suspended, I would be concerned. Key and Weinke could probably manage the game ok, but it would be a handicap.

Would be nice to be on the other side of this for once.

I am not sure if the suspended OC will make much difference. He was suspended in January (for 3 games), so FSU has had plenty of time to plan around that issue. I don't know the ruling....does the suspension mean that he cannot have contact with the team in any way shape or form until after the 3rd game? Or is he allowed to be at practices and do things like film review/game planning, etc., but just can't be at a game?

45 may be 1 point too many. First game offense maybe a little slow I see 5 TD's and 3 FG's so 44 to 24.

King's only shortcoming are the interceptions. I think he is trying a little too hard to squeeze the pass through coverage.

I read somewhere that if Haynes duplicates last year he will be an all time record breaking qb.

Well in 15 ND had a new defense that shut us,down for 3 quarters. Last year Clemson had every body up close with i idea of quiclky getting to king or making him get rid of the ball.

Who will get better faster?
I am betting on Gt.

 

[mtodd30]

Remember that sloppy uGA vs Clemson game a few years ago? Personnel turnover and chemistry play a huge factor in the first couple of weeks. I predict a sloppy game for both offenses, I just hope our continuity from last year gives us the edge

FSU now has their scout team mimicking Haynes King.

If they have someone on their team that can mimic Haynes King, he'd be starting over DJU. There is absolutely no way they have anyone on the roster with the speed and arm talent that Haynes F'ing King has...and if they aren't doing it at full speed, it won't help.

He's just suspended from their games, so yes they will have a plan to work around that. But that's still a handicap if he was expected to be making the play calls.

This article does a deep dive into the NCAA penalties imposed on FSU. Frankly, I was surprised by their magnitude - they really got hammered for what seemed to me to be a relatively minor infraction.

I do not think he calls their plays. I believe that's Norvell.

Who will talk to thier Qb who is hooked up by helmet communication?

We have been practiing with the oc calling plays and adding as ""much info"" as qb can handle.

I wonder if they are using an assistant coach or norvel on head set.

 

[roadkill]

I do not think he calls their plays. I believe that's Norvell.

If that's the case I would not expect his absence to be much of an issue during the game, unfortunately.

Interesting stats. But they seem counterintuitive. How do you manage to have 3.16 yards/carry after contact but only 3.2 yards/carry average? I realize that sacks lower the yards/carry number, but he only had 10 for the season. Haynes King had 15 sacks, but still managed to net 6.1 yards/carry, roughly twice DJ's. King must be in the 99.9th percentile if those numbers are accurate.

We use King as basically another running back. FSU is not going to use DJU that way. He provides significant value in short yardage and goal line situations. He is a guy that will pound out 3-5 yards when they are needed, not break 30 yards on designed QB runs. Him and Haynes King are very different types of players.
