When have we ever had a QB improve from year 1 to year 4? Certainly hasn't been anyone the past decade plus.

BJ could've played better today, but if I were to make a top-5 reasons-for-why-we-lost-today list, I would put him behind Coaches, Defense and O-Line; put him fourth.

But he is the best QB on this team and there is ZERO argument about that. We have seen Eveld max out the Suckage meter, and Floyd will never start a game in his unless AW decommits or an injury.

11-1 counting moral victories.

Becoming UCF... one game at a time.

We have more moral losses too.

Matt Floyd is not a BCS caliber backup QB. He is on the same level as Eveld except a couple inches shorter. If Woulard commits elsewhere, these BJ haters will be Floyd haters real quick.

Who the hell let The Situation in a baseball classic!?!?!?!?!

Leavitt would never come back! The man has one of the best assistant coaching positions in the NFL. If anything, he should stay there and get promoted within the league.

I love this board

Scoring differential in FSU's first four games. Clemson scored 37 of 40.

They destroyed their FBS chumps.

Hope you mean FCS chumps! Savannah State and Murray State.

Wake was part of their Revenge Tour, as are we.

If our D can play well we have a shot vs FSU.

we need to keep a Saftey in the middle of the field, teams are eatting up yards on 10-15 yard passes over the middle.

Have a shot at what? Holding them down to less than 70?

Worst loss ever will be next saturday

What's the most points we've given up at home? I bet FSU shoots for 3 tds more than that. The talent and coaching discrepency of this game coming up coupled with their taste for revenge will lead to something that will set recruiting back 15 years.

I want to see FSU players laid out. Im serious. Not hurt or anything really dirty obviously, but we need to send a message. A Sam Barrington type hit in the last minute of the Nevada game is what Im talking about. Something clean but mean. If he gets up within 3 minutes, you didnt hit him hard enough. Think of the Reggie Bush hit where he buckled to his knees. We cannot allow them to come into our building and leave cleanly, especially not when so many of their fans will be there. They are going to do it to us. If you watch the Wake Forest game again, they had plenty of extra curricular hits that didnt get flagged. I assume this is because they were at home. But they did not hold back and WF players were hitting the dirt even when passes were overthrown. There was contact on EVERY throw, regardless of whether there was a catch or not. This is what Im talking about.

For those unfamiliar with the RB hit:

Still remember seeing Lejiste plaster Tavarres Pressley! Hit of the year. Unfortunately I don't think Pressley ever played again.

Wouldn't be a terrible idea to schedule for 8 pm, that way people can turn to the nebraska game at halftime. Nobody wants to watch Michigan State or Ohio State at 3:30

Ball State is an excellent running football team, even against Clemson's "second stringers."

I want to see Matt Floyd play

I'm taking this and adding, I want Matt Floyd to start. I'm saying it, I don't care how much grief I catch on here. If our season is indeed over as some have posted, then why stick with the QB that will not be here next year? Why not give Matt Floyd a shot? Let the verbal beating commence in 3..2..1....

I think even if the season was over they would keep BJ in. This isn't the NFL with a 2-12 team having a 40-year-old starting at QB and a promising rookie as the backup. This is college football, where seniors are given the reigns as a farewell to a program they were loyal to for four+ years. As much as people want to see BJ benched, unless he either gets hurt or makes unforced errors (and, no, he does not commit a lot of unforced errors), he will be the starting QB for the rest of the season.

Allow me to save further posts on this thread by closing it out providing predictions based on what the SMARTEST members of this board predict (I'm surprised they haven't said it yet).

wont matter how many receivers are in there if bjcant get to the ball to them

+1

I agree, let's put Eveld out there to get sacked 8 times and throw 3 picks. He's only done that twice.... in two career starts

Ball State loves to throw the football, too. Not saying we lose, but wouldn't be shocked to see them hang close to 30.

But that'll prolly be BJs fault as well.

BJ made some off throws last night. But BJ isn't, and never was, known as a QB who can complete 65-70% of his passes! No QB on this team is capable of that! I guarantee you if you throw Matt Floyd out there against Rutgers he would get flattened. Hell, go back to Louisville last year. Eveld was a punching bag.

We do not have the O Line nor the running game (from the RB position) to just sit back and find an open receiver. BJ ran for his life all night long, and history has shown that when BJ, actually any QB, would not be very successful trying to find an open receiver while running from 2 or 3 defenders.

I place 0% of the blame on BJ for this loss. 40% O Line, 40% Running Backs, 20% defense on third and longs.

I wonder how saladfingers couldn't ever possibly get laid due to his overwhelming sense of humor.
