Pre-Game Discussion: FLORIDA at Florida State (Crab Legs Anyone?)

I thought I read one article that had us as a 2 point 'dog before we lost to Vandy.

I was right, found the article.

Betting lines set for Sunshine Showdown between Florida, Florida State

 

If AR runs hard, everything else opens up, if he does his Tom Brady impression, I’ll probably have to leave early.

 

I wouldn’t bet on him showing up at this point and it’s truly a sad feeling.

 

If FSU stacks the box like Vandy, which I expect them to do, will we be prepared to handle it? We could run outside, run options, run reverses, roll out the QB, run the QB, throw short passes or do the same as we did at Vandy. Will we be prepared if they stacks the box???

 

Vandy didn’t even stack the box that much late in the game. I saw a lot of 5-6 man boxes. Our Oline underperformed for sure, but AR just refused to keep it on those reads to keep their defense honest.

Losing Pearsall lessened our threat of the outside runs and we resorted to passing sideways. Offense needs rethinking for sure, but I’m of the belief that AR is the limiting factor, not CBN.

 

Will AR keep the ball and run hard when it’s there like he is capable of. He’s a pretty gifted runner and can be very physical but maybe doesn’t want his jersey dirty.

 

Current Situation: Built like Tebow, runs like Leak.

 

It is, but are you willing to put money on this team?

 

They will stack the box. We better be ready. Without Miller they're going to run and score a lot.

 

Aint that the truth..ME ME ME ME

 

9.5 is a huge spread for this game. I think there’s good value there on UF, but there are a lot question marks with injuries, Ventrell out and AR’s mental state right now.

 

Miller alone is worth four or five points in my eyes

 

Fsucks is very likely going to kick our butts on Friday. I will be pleasantly surprised if we win this game. AR, with all of his physical tools/potential, just does not appear to be a baller. I would absolutely rather see a lesser talented QB1, who is a gamer and has a legit feel for the position, than an underperforming/inconsistent athletic stud.
Sorry to type any of that.

 

Their offense is no joke, so I'm not surprised. Travis has come a long way since he first got a start.

 

Right now our offense is the equivalent of Braille, and nobody is afraid of that silly slow - and all too obvious - sideline pass play. If FSU can disguise their AR spy it is going to be a long day.

Last game of the regular season is going to be on the defense.

 

After watching the game live, like I did Saturday, you get a much different and better perspective. I agree @tommyvee.
