...that likes the fact the Noles played like crap yesterday ?

Jimbo will have this team ready to go next week. I think he opens up the playbook and the defense plays aggressive (like they have all season, sans yesterday)

Furthermore, there are serval things about the game yesterday that I think many are overlooking.

  • Cook went out 5-6 minutes into the game (IIRC). This changed everything offensively and Wake knew that. They focused on stopping the pass and it showed.
  • OL played GREAT IMO. They gave Golson tons of time and the run blocking was improved. As I said, without the threat of Cook, Wake just didn't focus on the run.
  • FSU missed 3 sure fire TD's due to the wind. Jimbo said this much in the post-game interview. 3 TD's to wide open WR were "short" due to the wind gusts.
  • You can't understate the impact of losing Smith and Andrews so early. They are the 2 leaders of that defense and losing them minutes apart was a big deal. With that said, there's no doubt the pass rush needs improvement.
All in all, sloppy game but a W nonetheless. Jimbo is one of the best in CFB, so I'm confident he will have this team ready to go.

Anyhoo, carry on with your doom and gloom
