Not speaking for Jupiter, but this is probably the best chance we've had or we'll probably have in the near future given what they've lost. Don't read that into me saying we're going to win.
I don't see us winning, but I'm going. That said, I didn't think we'd win last time I went to Doak, especially after losing Grothe the week before. Nor did any of the FSU fans I saw the night before, or on game day.
That said, we don't have 2 NFL DEs this year (or do we?), or such a physical LB group. I don't think we have a BJ Daniels, either...but who knows?
FSU made is harder by grabbing Golson, but they lost a ton of talent to the NFL/graduation...but they are still stacked.
No, I expect to lose by 3 TDs...but I'd love to see us coast v FAMU, suffer no injuries and play vanilla (and get a lot of people some playing time).
I don't expect to lose by 3 TDs... and yes there is a chance USF could pull the upset... FSU opens against Texas State (not exactly a tough warm up) ... and they follow us with a Friday night conference opener at B.C. Plus the Bulls will be fired up to take on FSU, while the Seminoles will have a difficult time getting motivated - despite Taggart's braggadocio.
If Florida State thinks we're as bad as the people on here, they could easily be taken by surprise. That happened the last time USF went to Tallahassee -- we went out and shocked them with a couple of turnovers ... and we won because of our defense.
That would be the recipe for a win in 2015: a big effort by the defense and a couple of surprises on offense. (People, our defense is going to be pretty good... maybe you don't see that yet)
Stil I would put our chances at around 25%... My prediction: Florida State 24 - USF 13
That is a pretty strong prediction ... for a team that was scoreless against UCF
I still don't see anything (coaching-wise) that would allow us to compete on the field.
Yup. I think we are mentally blocking out just how horrible we've looked in the last 20 or so games. It’s a good coping mechanism.
I went up to Tally for the BJ-coming-out game, and I went in there truly thinking we had a good chance. I wasn't guaranteeing a win or anything, but I felt good about our chances. This time I think we have ZERO chance of winning and the best we can hope for is not to get completely embarrassed.
