    This is the third game in a row we immediately have fallen behind. This team is undisciplined imo.

    Wow, hell of a comeback for the sweep. All 3 sets similar. Middle blockers looked better late

    I would say it’s youth more than discipline, they just have to learn how to stay focused without the lapses.
    Nice comeback in the second, great third set comeback, should serve them well in the future, to know they can do that when their backs are against the wall.

    Dave Boos did a "chalk talk" for the fans right before the game and said that FSU runs a complex, ever-changing offense (compared to VCU last game) and they had one-day to prepare. He said this game was going to be a work in progress with the players learning on the fly. They certainly did just that.

    While this team sometimes falls behind, they don't quit. In the last set, they were down six points for most of the set, including very late, came back to tie at 20, stopped two FSU set points, and went on to win.

    They may be young and lack experience, but they definitely have heart.

    Gators on fire take set 2 25-18, very balanced attack. Awesome red Wisc crowd is stunned as are the announcers. Still a set to go tho.
