*****THEE OFFICIAL FSU vs. GT GAME DAY THREAD!!!!*****

[billanole]

Yeah. Been garbage. They are not tackling the ball. Even a busted play that should have been a 3 years loss the QB dances around for two seconds and still got 2 years to the 1. It’s gross.

Also a bit disappointed in lack of any deep passing game our part. It’s early but yikes. May need to adjust our expectations Bigly, regardless if we come back.

Yep. Tackling and lack of a deep game have been disappointing.

You never know if game one shows one team to be better than thought or the opponent to be worse.

For sure but it's obvious they are better than last season.

The first game of the season is always weird. That's why most teams schedule cupcake games, if possible.

Definitely showing some knee.

 

[TennNole17]

1st drive looked nothing like the rest of the half.
Defense looks awful.

Kicker looks amazing

 

[MikeyHawk]

that FG before half is big. Would expect FSU to take charge in the second half

 

[The Tradition]

The announcers are drinking Guinness on TV right now.

Should be an interesting second half call.

Cameraman getting in on the action!

 

[LBoogie28]

Why was Hykeem scratched from the lineup before the game? He dealing with an injury?

 

[The Tradition]

So much for halftime adjustments. Ooof.

 

[MikeyHawk]

great effort by the safety in the back field

 

[NoleinATL]

damn

I wouldn’t call what dude on the left did drinking. He sniffed the head

No facemask on that play? Only when DJU goes down?

 

[funksouljon]

Stack the box, strip the ball.....

 

[HawkBall23]

Good on length, but yoked it.

It looked bad, but didn't get a finger tip on the facemask like they did with DJU.

Yes, said it was minor but I never heard what it was exactly

Well, Fitz is as advertised.

Do you remember when Fitz missed a big one and the fan base turned on him? The kid is nailz.

If I remember correctly, two years ago he had a bad case of the shanks and basically lost the Wake Forest game because of it.

 

[DFSNOLE]

DJ has to get the ball out of his hand more quickly.

He struggled with PATs for a while.

Gotta love how Iowa is now the benchmark for bad offense.

THANKS BRIAN (and Kirk)!!!!!

 

[NoleinATL]

That is a catch,, hell of a play

 

[Kelsers]

Seriously. Uiagalelei has a rocket arm. Why aren't we using it?

Deacon Hill for Iowa last year had a rocket arm too, and how did that work out? 🤣

One slight difference, DJU can and does move in the pocket & can pull it down and gain yards on the ground.

I hope I eat these words, but I’m afraid DJ ain’t it.

I hope I eat these words, but I’m afraid DJ ain’t it.

I don't remember him being this..... pedestrian when he was at Clemson.

 

[DFSNOLE]

I hope I eat these words, but I’m afraid DJ ain’t it.

I'd like to see more fire out of him.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

What the hell is going on? I thought the Hawkeyes played next week.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Okay. I didn't drink at all in the first half. Just grabbed a Good Squad (look it up) in an effort to change the mojo.

 

[billanole]

I hope I eat these words, but I’m afraid DJ ain’t it.

One can wonder. DJ is a bit of a journeyman.
Hopefully we adjust to his strengths.
Today has not so far shown a good blend of run and throw.

 

[NoleinATL]

I hope I eat these words, but I’m afraid DJ ain’t it.

If he was not better than this in practice, I am surprised Brock could not overtake him in camp. While he was raw last year, you could see the upside.

 

[millah_22]

I'd like to see more fire out of him.

This was his demeaner last year at OSU. Calm, ran the O, passed well, ran when he had to. Hopefully he settles in better for y'all.

This feels like our starter got hurt and we’re trying to gut out a win with the backup.

 

[HawkBall23]

FSU OL is making Iowa's OL point and laugh at them.

yikes
