The Hokies travel to Tallahassee to take on the Noles today at 3:30 p.m. eastern time. ABC is broadcasting the game. FSU is favored by 23.5 points.

This is the start of a three game home stretch for Florida State, coming off a much-needed bye week. Although FSU is thrilled to be 4-0 going into October, there are some nits to pick. FSU is only 38 percent on 3rd down conversions (85th in FBS) although they're 7-of-9 on 4th downs. Jordan Travis is reportedly feeling good after two weeks of rest. Will we see him take off running more now or will he continue to be cautious with taking hits?

One thing FSU cannot do is play down to their opponent. The Seminoles could have easily been 2-2 instead of 4-0 had things broke slightly differently at BC and Clemson. Need to put VaTech away early and have no mercy.

Weather Report: Temps in the low 80s under mostly cloudy skies, winds out of NNW at 12 mph, no chance of rain.

GO NOLES!
Did you get fired from your job or will that happen Monday. Drunk driving isn’t smart.
 
On the 247 thread about our DC, someone said…

“If we can go snipe a Phil Parker, Jim Knowles, Doug Belk, etc type of coordinator, then sure, go ahead and fire him and replace him”

On the 247 thread about our DC, someone said we need to go hire a top tier DC. That’s hardly a novel comment other than one of the names mentioned.

“If we can go snipe a Phil Parker,Jim Knowles, Doug Belk, etc type of coordinator, then sure, go ahead and fire him and replace him”
I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU GUYS STEAL AWAY OUR PHIL I WILL LOSE MY GODDAMN MIND!!!!
 
Is FSU a top 5 team, yes or no? I say yes.

So far today, #1 Georgia and #2 Michigan are playing like champions.

#3 Texas lost.

#4 Ohio State struggled against Maryland until the final quarter.

So is #5 FSU that far from the apex of the mountain?
 
We won’t. That’s not Norvell’s style. He has a deep Rolodex of young promising assistants with whom he keeps contact.

Our remaining games

Syracuse home
Duke home
at Wake Forest
at Pitt
Miami home
Northern Alabama home
at UFelon

If we are focused and play like we are capable, we can win all of these. Only problem is we have only played to our potential for a few quarters. Then it’s fall asleep at the wheel for a few games.

Miami and UFelon are middling at best. We will be their game of the year so those will be a battle but we should win both.

Syracuse and Pitt are bad. So long as we are focused which is asking a lot with this team, those two will be wins.

Wake will be a tough game. They have been a thorn in our side for years much like Purdue had been for Iowa until today. Wake played Clemson close today.

Duke is also very good. They beat Clemson and their QB is legit. He got hurt and I don’t know if he will be back for our game.

Assuming we make it to the ACC championship game, Louisville or UNC are both good this year. Louisville is currently beating Notre Dame.
