a valid pick tho. Ole Miss offense really stretched the Bama defense. We know Arkansas can score a lot of points, albeit inconsistently.

If you look at Bama's losses in the two years, you got to score on them early and put the pressure on their passing game. That or play really good defense like what Ole Miss did back in 2014.

Who cares, both of these teams will go no where. Only people interested in this game are from Florida.

I have never seen rain wreck so much havoc on offenses than it has in FSU - Miami

[Flying Ace]

Vols indeed are frauds. At least they already got a trophy this year from game 2.

They'll be back next year. I do like the backup QB though you guys have. I was watching him provide a good spark. The spread offense would suit him well if Dantonio decides to switch things up.

Rough way to lose to FSU Saturday night. My voice still hasn't recovered.

Offense needs some serious help. Kaaya is no messiah right now. O-line not doing well. Entire middle of field not being used...

Gotta leave the loss in the past and look forward to Saturday vs. North Carolina.

[1and1]

Was a nail biter to the very end for sure.

How's Kaaya's tooth? I wanna say it was payback for how your defense was treating Francois, but in truth it wasn't your defense, it was our offensive line doing what has become it's normal poor job of protecting their best asset. At this rate, regardless of how tough Francois may be, and no doubt he's proved to be one hard core mofo, he's gonna concussion out before he graduates.

Currently pretty comfortable we're gonna take wake forest without too much trouble. I'll keep talking smack about clemson to the very end, but don't think I'll be betting on that one. Which kinda sucks cause we have the tools to beat em, but really don't know what team we'll bring- the kick everybody's ass FSU, or the roll over and show our fuzzy bellys version that louisville got to play.

[RickFLM4]

I've seen a couple different reports. One said his molar was knocked out and another said his molar what chipped. Probably chipped bad enough he needs to get it removed. He'll be ok. Haven't anything about a concussion.

With the few exceptions in the second half, I was impressed by the Canes defense. It was hard to tell if they were really better than last year before the FSU game. Top 3 tacklers got kicked off the team and 3 freshmen at LB. D played pretty well IMO against a very good offense. Made some mistakes but playing tougher and hitting harder than last year despite being on field so much. Great game as it (almost) always is.

It was an exciting game. Lots of smack talking right from arrival to the last moment getting back into the car. Gotta love the hostility and hard hitting tho! But c'mon Miami fans, you cannot be throwing all those water and beer bottles onto the field.

Water and beer bottles? I was ready to throw some hot coffee and hot pizza slices after that targeting call, but there was none available. (I'm joking if you can't tell.)

Yep, I'm pretty sure I saw those take flight as well

Just kinda crazy how the organization such as state doesn't have a QB to pass the torch to.

I hope you're right, our offense at the moment is non-existent, ill be happy with a 6-6 season at this point.

Didn't seem to bother VT that much while they were busy dismantling UNC in the middle of the massive downpour.

VT is steadily hitting its stride under their new coach on all sides of the ball; I'm keeping my expectations tempered for the season since I still expect some growing pains, but it's been a few years since I've enjoyed watching a VT this much over the past few games.

Didn't have any impact on FSU or Miami either since it wasn't raining in Miami during that game.

yes, that was the joke...on the anemic offenses of both teams

Well, that I agree with.

[GoHokiesGo]

Both are still dangerous teams and have the talent to compete. I'm definitely nervous about Miami coming to town in a few weeks for VT since that's always a tough game for us!

I think Miami made a good pickup in snagging Richt as their coach, as both the program and coach needed a change of scenery.

As nervous as Ohio State coming into town last year?

[GoHokiesGo]

My wife is a Buckeye grad, so I had to endure that loss a bit differently than others!

I was fine with splitting the home-and-home series against OSU since I honestly was amazed we won the year before. Besides, who knows how that game would have gone if our starting QB wasn't knocked out of the second half since we were up by 3 at halftime... but that's why they play the games.

I'm expecting OSU to beat Wisconsin this weekend, and the same for Bama to beat Tennessee; however, the season and playoff implications could go crazy if those two were to drop a game.
