What they're saying about the USF vs. FSU matchup

Paul Finebaum is a big-eared, bald headed, SEC nut-hanger from way back in the day. His entire existence in life is based upon SEC football. He has to constantly put down other programs in order to try and elevate the SEC, which has been down as a whole the last two years if anyone has cared to notice. 

This x 1000 .... Used to run across his show occasionally on satellite radio and SEC nut-hanger doesn't do him justice.

Jimbo is a good coach. I like CWT but anyone who says they wouldn't trade coaches is more homer than I can be.

Honestly, if you're talking about trading in the situation both programs are in right now, I'm not sure I'd make that trade ...... mainly because of recruiting. Maybe I'm underestimating the pull Jimbo would have but, as we've seen in other sports, recruiting to USF ain't as easy as it is to traditional powerhouses and I think CWT and staff is great at wringing all it can out of this area.

That's a decent point. Hard to look past national championship on the resume though.

I threw that out there but I think CWT is a pretty good coach. That wasn't always evident in the first 2.25 years.

I think if we play fast FSU will struggle throughout the game. They don't seem to handle consistent speed very well. We need to keep that hurry up offense going.

Agree...not to say they aren't fast but hit them with speed from every direction.

I disagree with that statement. I liked Taggart when he was at WKU. He turned that program from nothing to a bowl team. He did the same here. Fisher is at a program that a half way decent recruiter should be able to do better than programs like WKU. Don't forget he lost 10 games his first three years and if you take out the two years Winton started he may very well have been run out of town. And when it comes to instilling character in players, I'll take Taggart any day.

Yep to this. Ask Skip Holtz or our basketball coaches if it's easy to recruit here. If you can't get the talent it doesn't matter how good your Xs and Os are. What Levitt did in this area was outright impressive.

Yes, and we have the talent to do that. Our 2 minute scoring drives need to continue and be in multiples. We aren't a team to eat up the clock, so we need to score fast and score often. There were plays against Lville where FSU had no idea how to set up properly on defense.

I was just asked on @SportsCenter about FSU's playoff hopes. Before they worry about playoffs FSU better worry about USF this weekend
