Answer this honestly, do you think the front 4 was the issue today? We were slanting strong side with 6 in the box. They ate us up using misdirection getting flow of Lb going one way and making the nickel back try and make a play on Cook. We didn't put guys in position to make plays at all.

We got out coached today. Plain and simple

No. Having 5 DBs and only 6 in the box against a team that has 2 WR on the field is a huge issue though

Running Nickel against a power offense is terrible

Wow...that's huge that sweat is out

My original quote said if there's 45-50K actual that's embarrassing. And USF fans wanting to sell out their own stadium shouldn't be viewed as negativity when it's a realistic concern.

I guess this is where my disappointment stems from. I just wish we didn't need to rely on other teams fans to sell out

You are not using any context. 1. It's on Twitter than through FSU Box office tickets are $93. Stubhub price $45. Why would they buy through their box office? 2. Not factoring in Tampa natives bought tickets through USF beforehand. Whether season, flex pass or single tickets. You're kidding yourself if you think there will be less than 10K from Tallanasty. And to clarify, this is also on the students. How have the student tickets not sold out? 40K + students and only 11K have been allocated for? Here's to hoping there will be 55K USF fans in the seats

I'm not going to argue with you and your confirmation bias that I'm a FSU fan. If anything, I'm pissed because I was optimistic WE could put 45-50K in the seats. Where is my negative slant when I'm hoping we don't need to rely on their fans to sell out OUR stadium?

If FSU fans are dumping tickets, then USF fans should be right there ready to purchase them. The complaint was they were too expensive right? Now they are $40. The point is if we can only put 35K usf fans in the seats for this weekend, it's embarrassing. And no I'm not a closet fsu fan, I hate those bastards. From Bowden to Bimbo. I'd just like to think there are more than 35K of us out there that would pay to come watch this team beat FSU.

Because if you factor in 15K fsu fans that means we could only get 35K fans to come to this game. That's terrible

So if people don't unload those, we could be looking at 45-50K actual? That's embarrassing

is the Total Sales # of 57K counting the tickets that were originally purchased and now on resale?

Not really, everything will take care of itself. Houston beating Louisville is much more important

Yeah I noticed that when I rewatched that game. This is where I think having Rodney in the slot as well as MVS outside will help. They can't lineup their #1 corner on Rodney and focus on him. I also think the TE are going to be a big help this year. Price was reliable, but it seems as if Dillon/Wilcox have a little more big play ability. They have been open a few times this year we just haven't connected efficiently. Definitely more firepower this year

I know someone who just bought a 100 level seat for $80. Off stubhub I believe

Pressure is self inflicted by the culture of the program. It is absolutely FSU because of the culture Jimbo has created. With the Showtime series and the fact that they always seem to have a feeling of superiority, that loss to Louisville put a dent in their egos. FSU not only loses this weekend, but goes on to crumble the rest of the season. Book it

This.

I think some people are expecting us to all of a sudden play smashmouth, 4-3 aggressive defense. Taggart isn't lying when he says repeatedly, in college football now, teams are going to get yards. It's about keeping them out of the Endzone. It's very clear our philosophy is to limit big plays (thus base nickel) and contain the QB in the pocket (mush rush by DE) while trying to move him off the spot with an interior push. The one thing I'm worried about is tackling. We have been average at best tackling thus far. The thing is, when set up properly, they will. When you watch it on film, almost every screen also has a pulling guard to for the Run Pass Option. This leaves WF one on one with the Safety of they over adjust. On the jet sweep, that will set up the PA pass off of it this week. At first glance it looks like we are just out taltenting teams, but in reality, it's the scheme that's making it work.

Went back and watched the Cuse game. One of his throws up the seam to Dillon was an absolute strike. Over the LB, underneath the safety and right on the numbers. But just to keep the QB controversy going, (lol), that throw Kean made rolling out to the right on the sideline to McCants I believe.....wow. That was a dime.

Our edge rush has lacked quite a bit, yes. But our inside push is about as good as it has ever been. Awoleke had a day in Tally last season against the same OL. FSU OL is very un-FSU like. It's more about stopping Cook than anything else

I chellnge everyone here (preaching to the choir I know) to take charge of their own section or at least rows nearby to stand up and become a factor. Many people sit because they simply don't know better. It's time to turn Ray Jay into a hostile environment

Auggie mentioned in the post-game that they were prepared for Syracuse to throw the ball more than they did early in the game. I think that had a lot to do with them being on their heels early in the game. FSU doesn't generally fool anyone with their game plan. They just believe they are be better than you. In terms of the DL, I think the inside guys have done a tremendous job this year. Senat, Awoleke, Bronson and Hector have all been getting a good push inside. Livingstone has done a **** good job as well. It's time for Vincent Jackson to step up on the opposite side and show why he was a highly coveted prospect. I expect him to the best game of his short career thus far this weekend.

100/200 level student section already sold out. 300 level tickets being allocated now

Beating FSU doesn't mean much? They are a top 15 team anyway you want to slice it
