MIAMI GARDENS — We’ve seen just about everything in the Florida State-Miami rivalry, from Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks leading shootouts to elite defenses filled with first-round picks to missed kicks.

On Saturday, we saw something that was expected but also stunning at the same time. Yes, Miami won convincingly in a game where FSU was competitive (at times) on the field but not competitive on the scoreboard.

But we saw a bizarre pendulum swing in just under two years: One that has taken fans of both schools on quite the ride, from a 45-3 FSU win over Miami in November 2022 to a 36-14 Seminoles loss on Saturday night. One win says plenty about how the Seminoles were climbing, one speaks volumes about the backwards and rapid descent.

On Tuesday's edition of the Osceola's Seminole Sidelines, Patrick Burnham, Charles Fishbein and Nick Carlisle discuss Daniel Pierre Louis' commitment to FSU and what he brings to the Seminoles. The guys also reflect on Mario Nash and offer up more news and notes on FSU recruiting.

Clemson did not have to blitz much, their defense was pretty vanilla, but they didn't have to do anything risky to win.

Duke will blitz, it's just who they are. I've gone back and forth on how I feel about that, and how I think Brock and the offense will respond. . .and the optimist in me has won out.

I don't think Brock will process the blitz like a veteran, but I do feel he will at least get rid of the ball or scramble if needed to minimize the damage if it gets home. I also feel we may finally see a few large chunk plays tonight due to the exposure left open by the blitz. DJ just constantly got destroyed and lost massive yardage every time, but I think tonight we have the ability to actually take advantage of a defensive gamble more often than it will hurt us.

…at season’s end? Papuchis, Tokarz, Surtain and maybe Fuller? Odell has been teetering on retirement for a few years now anyways. I think last season re-energized him but this one must make him wonder.

I wonder if we do end up going after a new O-line coach, obviously going after a proven coach and a bigger name at the position. . .he could "encourage" some of the O-line for whatever school he is coaching to maybe follow him to his new home. New coach, and immediate talent to come with him. Like we said, the portal will allow teams to go from 12-0 to 0-12 and back to 12-0 again in a blink it seems.

… last night was QB in shotgun with a quick pitch to RB for about a nine yard gain. (VT did this same play to Miami a few weeks ago, entire game, with great success).

What does Norvell do? Never runs the quick pitch to RB again the rest of the night, in spite of the success the play had. Went back to the stupid RPO and scored zero points.

I watched the Warchant wrap up this morning and Ira said something interesting. He said “Norvell looks like he’s coaching the team he wants and not the team he has.”

I’m no football genius but I do know you have to coach with the talent that you have.

I can admit I was wrong. I didn't think a move to Brock Glenn was going to fix this FSU offense.

But what Glenn (and a few true freshman tight ends) showed Saturday vs. Clemson makes it that much worse that FSU waited so long to explore playing its young players.

FSU sports information:

Junior Lottie Woad is in a tie for second place in the individual standings, and the No. 11 ranked Florida State Women’s Golf team is in a tie for second place in the team standings after two rounds of the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall. The Seminoles begin play in Sunday’s final round tied with North Carolina in second place and just five strokes behind Duke as the trio of ACC teams battle for the team championship of the event.

Woad carded an even par score of 72 and has a two-round total of 137. She is just two strokes behind Sophia Burnett of South Carolina and tied for second place with Katie Li of Duke. Woad is playing for her sixth consecutive top three finish along with the fourth victory of her collegiate career.

Florida State counted four scores at 74 below as freshman Sophia Fullbrook (71), senior Kaylah Williams (71) and Woad (72) finished with scores at par or better. Freshman Christina Surcey carded a 74 in the second round. Woad (tied for second), Fullbrook (tied for 16th) and Williams (tied for 16th) are all in the top 20 of the individual standings.

“We hung in there and played good golf today,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “What you want as a team through the first two rounds of an event is a chance, and heading into the final round we have just that. With the expected windy and possibly rainy conditions tomorrow, we have to play disciplined golf and take what the course gives us.”

Woad is just two strokes out of the lead with her 137 total and scores of 65-72. She carded three birdies in the second round to bring her two round total to 11. Woad completed her round at 1 stroke under par over her final 10 holes of the day with one birdie and nine holes scored at par. The All-American has not been more than one stroke over par at any time during the first two rounds of the event.

Woad is looking to earn her second career top-five finish at the Landfall Tradition after finishing in a tie for fourth during the spring of 2022. She is a total of 12 strokes under par in five career rounds in the Landfall Tradition.

Fullbrook is in a tie for 16th place with a two-round total of 143 and scores of 72-71. Her second career under par score of 71 on Saturday included a near perfect card with two birdies, 15 holes scored at par and just one bogey. With a birdie on the fourth hole of the day, she went under par and was never above even for the remainder of the round. Fullbrook closed out her round with a birdie on 18 and a 1 under par score on her final 10 holes of the round.

Williams, who is playing some of the best golf of her career, carded a score of 71 – a total that included the fifth eagle of her Florida State career. She is in a tie for 16th place with a two round total of 143 and scores of 72-71. Williams’ 36-hole total of 143 is the second best of her Seminole career and is rivaled only by a 141 total after two rounds at the Fall 2023 ANNIKA Intercollegiate.

Surcey has carded scores of 70-74 for a 36-hole total of 144 and is in a tie for 24th place in the individual standings. She totaled two birdies on her back nine on Saturday and has six birdies in the first two rounds of the event. Freshman Alexandra Gazzoli, who finished her back nine in the second round at 1 stroke under par with two birdies is in a tie for 64th place. She has a two round total of 151.

The Seminoles will play with Duke and North Carolina – in an all-ACC final group for the second consecutive day in the final round – with a shotgun start at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Wow both teams undefeated and ranked. Not going on a limb here, but I'd venture FSU has better
football players on the roster. Obvoiusly better coaches with the service academies. Interesting FSU, Army, and
Navy play Notre Dame in the next month. It wouldn't shock me if Navy or Army beats ND, actually expect it. FSU
not so much
