    Way to basically hand Florida State's garbage football team an undeserved 7 points.

    I hear ya Marty. Brandon Harris, whose a true freshmen, can't tackle in the open field to save his life. We have zero total yards in this quarter which is just embarrassing so far. If we can't establish a run game, this will be a long day for us. Ojomo, Bailey, Wesley and Moncur have to keep Ponder inside the pocket.

    Good play call by Nix there as well as a nice hole by the line. Continue to run delays though, maybe it will give us something in the run game.

    This has to be the worst first half of football that has been played by the :theu: in years. This is absolutely horrendous. I may be overreacting but I'm sorry, this is abysmal.

    Because Ponder is being so effective running, we're having trouble with Antone Smith. Smith is a slow back who doesn't have good vision and lacks power despite his bulky frame. One of my biggest worries coming into this game was the FSU defense. And man do they look good today. I hope we can figure something out. Btw, haven't seen one pass Johnson's way. Get him the f'n ball!

    EDIT: Have to give Myrone Rolle credit. He's playing well today. I think he's overrated but he's playing very well today. Props to him.

    No. He's pretty slow considering how fast he was when he came out of HS. He has put too much muscle on his frame IMO. He's got a quick first step but lacks overall speed.

    You don't think he's slow? Or at least lacks explosiveness?

    Eh, I disagree. I think that he's put to much muscle on his body and lost the explosiveness he had coming out of HS. I think he's a little slow as well. He's got a quick first step though. I guess we'll agree to disagree here. Of course Smith is faster than Ponder lol.

    11 total yards. Our best DB Brandon Harris is getting tore up. Ponder is killing us in the run game. We can't tackle. We can't cover. Man this is terrible. We have more penalty yards than total yards. This is flat out abysmal.

    EDIT: Two questions:

    Do we leave Harris in the rest of the game?

    When do we get the ball to Aldarius Johnson?

    What did we learn last week guys? It doesn't matter whos winning or losing the first three and a half quarters, it only matters whos on top at the end.

    Still another full half, if they scored 24 so can we.

    Correct but this team has been outscored this year in the fourth quarter by 20 points. This is terrible coaching by Shannon and his staff especially against a very good defense. Honestly, I don't see us coming back in this game but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    Fair enough, but did you expect to lose last week either after we jumped out 14-0?

    No I didn't. I'm sorry, I just don't see us coming back like I said. This is a very good defense. Again, I'm hoping I'm wrong though.

    You probably aren't wrong. The point is that the game isn't over though, if it is then we shouldn't even come out in the second half.

    That is true. What do you guys think we should do with the QBs in the second half? Harris or Marve? I've been behind Marve this whole time despite being a fan of Harris but Harris looks better right now. Do you keep him in?

    Harris looked better but he still didn't look great. What really needs to happen is the offensive line needs to step up. Harris has superior athletic ability with his legs, but if the line was blocking that wouldn't matter.

    I'd have Marve start the second half, let Harris play the 4th if we still can't get anything going.

    There we go. Take Shields off the field and throw to Aldarius Johnson. Get Travis Benjamin involved as well. Cooper is averaging 5.8 yards per carry. Ever since the big run he had, we haven't seen anything from him. Don't give the FSU WR's cushion.

    See thats why we play four quarters. You don't have to dominate to get back into a game, a bit of luck will do it for you sometimes.

    It's all about The U. Let's get back in this one.
