And the Gators still suck.

I don't think there's much doubt that it'll be a very wet track tomorrow night. Hope we have a game plan to take advantage.
Was just getting ready to post. I am going to go there: what a contrast to his predecessor who wanted to renegotiate his contract every year.
And I thought he just couldn't get any more awesome. I love our head coach!
There’s no doubt he “won the offseason”. I just hope his game day performance matches everything else. If it does, then there’s no doubt we upgraded.
I wonder if the Canes made it home last night or did they get blown out by Tropical storm Gordon too?

Thunderstorms are now forecast through kickoff, and it's pouring down now. Going to be a wet one for certain.
I was at the game. Woof. That was brutal. The gridlock for 85 minutes afterwards was nice touch as well. But I am putting on a FSU polo today, taking some deep breaths, and not giving up on either this team nor WT yet.
On another note, is it me or has our offensive line sucked for 15 years now (not counting the 2013 group which was an anomaly?
Mark McHale was hired to fail to fix our online problem in 2005....
On another another note, is it me or have the ACC refs sucked for 26 years now?

I don't know that I would say in general the OL has sucked for 15 years, but they certainly have been poor and the worst unit over that period of time. Sure there have been years where they flat out sucked, but there have been other years where they have been serviceable, and as you mentioned 2013 was a good year.
As for the ACC refs, they have sucked for more than 26 years, it is just those 26 that we have noticed. They would not have changed the outcome of the game last night, but if they at least knew the rules and followed them, the game would have been much closer on the scoreboard, and thus a lot more interesting.
FSU lost plain & simple, but IMO it really wasn't as bad as the score would have indicated.

After last night we need to get this thread to 200 pages before we even get a sniff at the playoffs.
Let me change that....he can get more awesome when he recruits an Oline!!
...And some LBs as well as some DBs capable of covering anyone besides the 80's-era Redskins "Smurfs".
So regarding a solution to the BS flopping of players to stop fast pace offenses. What should the NCAA do? The problem is, players actually do get dinged so it is really hard to penalize.
I think best solution I heard someone at the office mention is a mandatory minimum number of following plays, let's say 9, that a player who causes a stoppage of play to be attended to and walked off the field has to miss. If it happens twice, player has to sit out whole game. My favorite part was when three VA Tech guys flopped after one play. One got up fairly quickly after seeing the other two down. That would have been great time if such a rule was out there as three starters were out next 9 plays.
Might cut into guys jogging down to the goal line after a 95 yard run and keeling over injured...
Also I would make all conferences, if clear video evidence, as was the case in this game, shows coaches or players directing a player to fake injury even one time, to fine the school. And a significant amount. It really hurts the game and TV broadcast as well. Not a good look.

Fuente having his players fake injuries to slow down the office is bush league. No other way to describe it
Bunk tactics on a night where nothing went our way. Imo that was the low point of the year and we'll see greener pastures.
I sure hope so.
The bush league fake injuries and bad no-calls, didn't cause us to lose the game, but they sure added insult to injury.
Read an interesting SI article this am that gave me hope. Said that Foster had a plan that switched up the look before every snap that threw off our offense and it's not the first time it's killed a spread team early in the season - did the same thing to Ohio State a few years back. And they came back and rolled.
Again, the D looked solid, Frenchy looked good and we moved the ball despite the bad line play. I think we settle down and have a decent year.

That's what can happen when you give quality coaching an entire offseason to prepare for you. Now we shall see whether or not if Tech shot their entire load game one.
Man if they shot theirs in game 1, we are going to have a massive amount saved up when we decide to shoot ours cuz we didn't even come close.

LOL. So when we do decide to unleash Lethal Simplicity on someone, it should look a little something like this.
Speaking of going to Miami, back in '88 we were preseason #1 for the first time (Remember the Seminole Rap?) and got spanked in the Toilet Bowl in our opener by the sugarcanes 31-0. The sky had fallen, and we were a national laughing stock.
We didn't lose again & finished the season with a Sugar Bowl victory over Auburn and a resulting #3 final ranking.

And a dynasty was born too
So, a friend & I were talking about this at lunch today. He isn't an FSU fan, so he really didn't have much cheering interest last night, he just wanted to see a good college football game. It was him that brought up the topic and we got to discussing it.
First off, injuries on offense and special teams need to be handled the same way they are now. Those guys aren't typically faking or trying to gain an advantage by stopping play.
Guys on defense should be treated differently.
- If injured and they cannot get off the field on their own, they should be required to sit out the remainder of the series. A possession change must take place before they can come back on the field.
- If a player is injured and trying to get off the field but cannot because the offense is trying to go fast, the clock can be stopped to help the player off the field. They cannot stop on the field, and no substitutions can be made by the defense unless the offense makes changes first.
- If the same player is "injured" more than 2 times in a game and cannot get off the field on their own, they need to sit out the remainder of the half. If it is the second half, they are done for the game unless the game goes into OT.
- If a player is caught coming back on early, it is a 15-yard Unsportsmanlike penalty and the player is ejected and has to leave the field. Suspension guidelines can be the same as for targeting.
- If there is video evidence where it shows a coach instructing a player to go down and fake an injury, then the coach is to be suspended for the next game and the school is fined (not sure what, but something substantial).
Obviously this isn't perfect, but I thought I would share what we discussed. There needs to be something done, but honestly I'm not sure how the NCAA could easily enforce anything since injuries are such a big part of football.
