Bad ugly brother. Defense came to play early.....but stupid errors on O have absolutely killed us. Yep, center is horrible. Francois has missed a couple wide open throws....and then the drops too. Looks like last Sunday night.... except the defense never showed up in KC either....lol.

Still 3rd quarter and the stadium is now half empty.
Kids haven't finished their chores.....so I'm still here. I can't tell much about the scheme with the absolutely pathetic blocking. I mean, it's the worst I've seen. I feel bad for Francois. He's never had a chance behind these bums his entire 4 years. Then you put together a drive....and get a dumb penalty. IDK....I'm ready to bowl a few frames....lol

I could go for a good bike ride....but it's raining here. These scrubs can't block 3rd stringers either. May as well hit the gym bro....lol. I'd play Blackmon too.
Imagine that, another penalty!

Man.....this offensive line is terrible. Man, Jimbo totally trashed this once proud program. Look at that ***** punt....lol. Like watching the 90s Bungals.

What’s really bad, is FSU is hosting about a dozen 4 and 5 star recruits at the game today. Team isn’t doing a very good sales job.
Well, on the bright side. Nothing says "Come here, you'll be a day 1 starter.", quite like getting an old fashioned from a conference rival.

Weird how our favorite football teams have the same problem, the o-line. And both just got embarrassed.
Lot of similarities, thought that as I typed the above response. I thought last year's Bengals oline was the worst I ever saw. Not any more. Noles just upstaged them. Looked a lot like the KC massacre.
Yeah...give him a shot. Taggart called out quitters during his presser. Friggin bench em all and get the future game snaps. It can't be any worse can it?
A guy on the Noles FB page brought up an interesting point about Benedict. Said he never really recruited good linemen....relied on Jameis to manipulate the pocket, and Dalvin Cook to break the homerun. That's really the reason I wanted Cook over Mixon. Cook has great experience behind a shit oline! LOL.

Ha ha ha ...true. It wasn't that long ago that Clemson was a 4 win team....Dabo changed the culture. It took a few years. Taggart has met with Dabo before the season and even watched some drills and how he cultivates that culture. It's going to take some time. Of course all of the armchair coaches are screaming for his head ...lol.

My only criticism of Taggart is the penalty problem. He needs to do something to fix that and he should be able to regardless of the players. Those are discipline/mental errors. Drill it out of them, run laps, bench them, whatever.
As to the quitters, I noticed it out of the DB's and WR's, namely Murray and Samuels. No coincidence they got themselves ejected. I wish it were Eberle, but he didn't quit, he has a great motor, but that's the only good quality.
Saw an article about the recruits that were visiting, including the Howell kid. He, specifically, mentioned that all of them knew why they were being brought in, and that was to play, and play early. Even they know this is a rebuild.....too bad some of our fans don't realize this.
Yes, I saw the DBs and WRs quitting. Sit their ass next week, damn the consequences.

Can't hurt, and Francois has got to be ailing still from the beating he took Saturday.

He looked better than Francois, that's for sure. Who knows, without the litany of penalties and the turnovers, we may have stolen one in Raleigh.

Jeez.....hopefully he doesn't think Francios beat him out.

Good luck to the 'Noles tonight. With ND down their star QB, FSU has an opportunity to not only score a signature upset, but also to shake up the CFB playoff chase.

Just because Francois is starting, does not mean that he'll play the entire game. FSU's defense and STs are still loaded with great athletes, win those aspects, and you're 2/3 of the way home. Taggert for sure is struggling, the program needs a big win. THIS is their opportunity to show that FSU is still a marquis program. A win tonight, could sway big in recruiting.

At least showing a little life.....may have considered a bigger dose of Cam and Patrick earlier in the 1st half makes the game look a little differently at this point.
