Line opened up at -8
Has dropped to - 6.5

The Noles are wounded, cornered and could be out for blood.
Had they come in 2-1, i think the Cards would win easily.

I could see either team winning

30-27

31-28 Cards baby! The team remembers last year and hopefully want to redeem themselves with some sweet revenge on the Noles.

Small fast teams with mobile QBs give the Noles fits we present a bad matchup for FSU.

Louisiana Monro is undersized and they quick put up a lot of points on FSU and almost pulled out the win.

Boise is small and quick they put up a lot of points

Virginia was a fluke IMO

Sorry as much as i want the Cards to win. They just do not have enough talent to beat this team. Fl.St has the best running back in the ACC and a decent Qb, their offense is pretty decent they now have Leavett offering a different defensive change for that talent .It's their they need to win and they will.

And i have no problem eating crow if Cards pull the upset.

It should be a very competitive game, just like the last two years. I do think that FSU gets a little bit more consistency out of their QB spot than we do, and they do have a great running back. I think our defense would be vulnerable to a smash mouth offense, but fortunately for us that’s not what Taggart is trying to do at FSU. I’ll go with UofL 34, FSU 31.

Push how do you see the secondary holding up? I feel like it's the team's biggest weakness. But I for sure could be wrong about that.

Very good observation - FSU is completing 25 passes per game, to 12 different receivers. Tamorrion Terry has been huge for them so far (14 catches for 234 yards and 1 TD). Steele had their receivers and TE’s as the 3rd best in the ACC, and had Terry, DJ Matthews and TE Tre McKitty on his ACC all conference teams.

I think our secondary is much better than most people expected coming into the season. but FSU has a talented and deep receiving group. Tackling in space, disguising coverages, and getting a strong pass rush to force Blackman to make quick decisions will be critical to neutralizing FSU’s receiving talent.

If Louisiana-James Monroe can hang with them, I’d like to think we could as well. However, I’ll go with FSU 31-24.

I am being optimistic because we hung with ND, we actually could have won if we didn't turn the ball over so much.

The Louisiana Monroe game went into overtime. Louisiana Monroe had 180 yards rushing.
