FSU - OM Warchant message board conversation

But it's hard to have a good day as a Quarterback if you are on your back. That's is an area where I feel FSU has a pretty big advantage and that is our Defensive Ends rushing the passer. We have Demarcus Walker at Left End who had 10.5 sacks last year. Then we have Josh Sweat at Right End who was a 5 Star Recruit and has unlimited potential this year. It will be interesting to see how Ole Miss's Offensive Line plays because that is the area where Ole Miss lost a lot of starters from last year.

We are pretty much in the same boat. Haynes had 10.5 sacks last year and we will have 4 star recruit in on passing downs on the other side who has been pretty unblockable in camp. I think the biggest difference is our interior guys get really good penetration and will produce sacks and pressure just as easily as our outside guys.

Yeah, I've seen Haynes play. He is very fast coming off the edge. We have a projected All American at Left Tackle in Roderick Johnson so I feel good about him holding up protecting Francois's blindside. But our Right Tackle will in all liklihood be Rick Leonard. Leonard was a 4 Star Defensive End recruit from 2014 who we are converting to Offensive Tackle. He has all the tools but he would be making his first start and going against a guy like Haynes would be a challenge.

Our Interior Linemen are good but DJ Jones will pose a challenge. He was actually committed to us for awhile but then he changed his mind before Signing Day.

Like i have said before in this thread, keep an eye on Isaac Gross. We lost him for the year in the first game last year. He is a disruptive force because of how quick he is at the nose position.
 
Ole Miss 31 Florida State27 Chad Kelly and our D - line will be the differance in the game

FSU's O vs. Ole Miss's D:

FSU's entire OL two-deep is back. Dalvin Cook is back.

It sounds like Ole Miss's DL is its strength on D, so the biggest question, in my mind, will be whether FSU's new QB Francois can be consistent enough to keep defenses from loading up to stop Cook.

FSU's D vs. Ole Miss's O:

Like Ole Miss's D, FSU's biggest strength is probably the quality and depth at DT. Derrick Nnadi (6-1, 312), Demarcus Christmas (6-4, 308), Fredrick Jones (6-2, 298), Arthur Williams (6-4, 327) and Walvenski Aimé (6-4, 289) will be the main rotation, but the Noles have 3 other 300 lb'ers who can contribute.

Walker and Sweat at DE are also talented and productive (which also sounds similar to OM), but there is not a lot of depth.

The FSU secondary is deep. We lost Ramsey to the NFL. Every other player of significance is back. Consensus 5 star Tarvarus McFadden (6-2, 201) and consensus 4 star Marcus Lewis (6-1, 190) have been battling it out to take over for Ramsey. The staff is really high on both. Both will play.

Depth at LB is a concern. The Noles have some talent at the position, but we are pretty thin there.

It sounds like Ole Miss's strength on O will be Kelly and a talented receiving group, including TE. The questions, in my mind, are whether FSU can pressure Kelly and whether FSU LB's will be effective in coverage.
 
What about special teams? We have a kicker, an unproven kick and punt returner, and a mediocre punter who is capable, but doesn't show it with those rugby punts. The game could be won or lost here, too.

Pretty spot on. Like i said a few pages back, our strengths line up with yours and yours line up with ours. If we can load the box and keep your QB from beating us I like our chances. If you can get pressure on Kelly where he doesn't have time to through i like your chances. Overall If i didn't know anything about the two teams except the talent level on the field i'd pick Ole Miss solely on how they have handled big time RBs and they have proven QB instead of a redshirt freshman.

We return 40% of the OL starts from last year.
We expect to be better/good G-C-G.
The question will be at two tackles.
IMO that will be the difference between a good offense and a top 5 offense.
Also there isn't a ton of depth on OL at this point so we cannot have injuries there.

Thanks. OL better than I thought
 
Not what I am hearing. And let's be honest, I've been spot-on in regards to this NCAA investigation so far, as much as it pains you Rebs to admit.
Not this time. How can academic problems be attributed to any NCAA investigation? It's Wilkins, not the NCAA. He chose not to go to class or study, or whatever he did to get the boot. That was his decision.

You're both wrong. It has nothing to do with the NCAA investigation and it isn't on Wilkins either beyond not independently verifying that his guidance counselor had signed him up for the correct classes. Wilkins attended and passed every class he was assigned, but the person making up his schedule screwed up and didn't get him in the particular classes he needed.

Simple, it's harder to hide academic improprieties during an NCAA investigation.

How hard is it to manage the schedule of a scholarship player?

This is either a smokescreen or your academic counselors are terrible.

It's his guidance counselor then. Hard to believe someone screwed him up like that. I'd be very pissed!

You are crazy if you think Florida State is going to beat Ole Miss 34 to

Ole Miss could definitely score in the 30s. But I think they are more likely to score in the 20s. FSU held Clemson to 23 points last year on the road and we are projected to have a better defense than we had last year. Houston scored 38 points on us in the Peach Beach because we turned the ball over 5 times ala Bama against Ole Miss. If FSU doesn't turn the ball over against Ole Miss I look for them to hold Ole Miss to around 24 points.

Don't you think the OM d had something to do with those turnovers?

Of course Ole Miss had something to do with those turnovers. Turnovers are the great equalizer. But you can't count on 5 turnovers every game. It's simply a statistical inprobability. You try to force turnovers on defense and keep from turning the ball over on offense. Rarely do you get large amounts of turnovers. 2 turnovers in a game is actually a lot.
 
Glad all the trolls quit posting. With that said this should be a amazing game both are passing teams with the ole miss O being seasoned while fsu defense is experienced this one could literally go either way depends on who gets hot and when I'm just ready to watch it roll tribe

Not sure what you mean by trolls not posting. @J. Lyman Stone is still misfiring away.

Are you here to show the FSU fans how big of a crybaby you are, billybutthurt? Just like your shrimpy little head coach. LMAO

Considering you have three profiles, @billywaynebama, @BlindsideHeckler, and @Lord_Baelish, your misfires are exponentially higher than anyone else's in this forum.

If that's the case why do message board likes bother you so much?

Lol, sorry you aren't a very good liar.

Best part was him spending all Saturday night on here crying about how many likes someone else had and accusing them of creating fake names just to get ahead of him.

This is exactly why even his own fans don't like him LMAO!
