Florida St has lost two in a row to Wake. The key one was two years ago. FSU lost at home to Wake 30-0. You probably don't remember that or care. But the FSU players remember. Bowden mentioned a few weeks ago he has no trouble getting the team up for Wake this year. I'd say its pretty much circled.
Wake I think is in a bad schedule area. They arent really shuffled into the mix where they could get lost a bit. They are the first 1-A team FSU will play and FSU is angry at them.
FSU offense is looking better. Considering the competition they played, still some things stick out.
1) they have a ground game
2) their QB's are a lot better than Drew and both can scramble, which defenses havn't had to worry about with Drew.
3) the WR's depth and playmaking is a lot better.
Welcome back this week Preston Parker.
Problem areas-
Still a lot of academic scandal suspensions. It hurts. DL especially is thinned out.
FSU's starting kicker Chase Gano is hurt, the kicker playing has been erratic, even by FSU standards.
I like Wake as a team and maybe they can take advantage of the problem areas. they have a problem of their own which is their new OL isnt opening up holes for their ground game.
I think this could be a statement type game for FSU. If they don't roll, I at least like the chances of them winning by at least 7.
FSU -4.5 10 units
YTD 4-4 -.4 units
Revenge is not something I take that seriously unless there are some underlying currents of bad blood from a team's last loss...However good coaching does play a big part of my capping..And Jim Grobe can coach circles around Bobby Bowden, and just about every other coach in the ACC...If Grobe had the players FSU has to work with every season, he would be competeting for national champiosnhips on a regular basis.to gosooners- FSU didnt get "revenge" last year because they probably werent the best team on the fiekld when they played Wake. Also Xavier Lee started the last two games at QB vs Wake. It doesnt get worse than that.

FLsunman, thanks for finding this thread. This is great stuff!! Go re-read all the shit talked in this thread. "They are going to light up Wake Forest...." For all of THREE points!! If that's "lighting up" someone I'd hate to see an off night for that offense!
They are an absolute joke! That stadium was empty and the Wake Forest band was playing the Chop tune w/ the WF players doing the Chop! Hilarious!! F'ing Hilarious!!!
I wonder if we'll hear anymore shit talk from these idiots the rest of the way??
(Here I go again!)....

You knew I would!! Mr. Smith and I have been going at for a while, and every single time he ends up on the short stick. Fact is, I feel bad for the average guy out there who doesn't follow FSU and then sees a thread like this and unloads. Mr. Smith saying FSU has a running game while playing 2 Dv1AA teams should have been the first clue, but it is what it is. "Just wait till next year!!!!" BWAHAHHAHAHAAHA
As a said then, I hammered Florida vs Ohio St. I do not see the need for the childish stuff. My opinion on this game was wrong, I did not talk crap or do antything other than try and contribute. Congrats to Wake backers.
