Louisville has a pretty sweet defense and FSU has been underwhelming much of the year.  Should be a good game.  Root for the crab leg stealers however if you want MSU out of the playoffs.  A loss here helps MSU.

Those Louisville uniforms are sick... Adidas seems to be learning how to make better alternates...

 

 

And their QB is a white Gardner lol

Sounded like whistling past the graveyard to me.  I think it no secret that ESPN is in the bag for FSU.  You could hear it in their dejected voices when Louisville went up 21-0, you heard it with their glee as FSU scored the fumble TD to make a game of it.  And you heard Mark May slap down Brian Griese when Griese had the temerity to suggest UL was doing everything they needed to do to win the game.

Preface - I am a big "critic" of Sumlin for the fact he benefited from Manziel (who was an Oregon/Stanford recruit) and doesnt give a f*** about defense, but no Jimbo is not a Winston creation IMO.  FSU had an elite defense last year relative to their conference.  Lost in their 2013 year of big scores was their defense destroying people.  Now maybe that was due to  Mark Stoops carryover in 2013 - as 2014 as fallen off to a degree but let's face it EVERY coach is very reliant on a QB.  Every single damn one.  If you have an average QB you will find it very difficult to be anything other than average.  MSU had a top 10 defense in 2012 but lost every single conf game at home and was 6-6 - cuz their QB sucked. 

I've watched 3-4 FSU games this year and other than Clemson where their defense was lights out, it doesnt look like a top 4 team.  Winston or otherwise.  Hard to be elite back to back years with graduations.  We'll see what Winston has tonight.  He led them back vs NC State but Louisville's defense is a different animal - the spirit of Charlie Strong is still in it.

Fisher was given the task of rebuilding a program after a legendary coach stayed around a few years too long.  I think he has done a great job.  How many people thought Fisher would win a National Championship before the season started last year?  I am guessing that, outside of the state of Florida, there weren't very many.

This game is scarier than Halloween 6. What a piece of garbage movie. Actually, all of them besides the first two are garbage. Should've ended after Loomis blew himself and Myers up.  

Halloween 8 is just funny. Busta Rhymes is doing karate moves and kicking Michael Myers in the face while screaming.

You could sadly see that pick-6 turned fumble coming as that LB danced around.

I'd love to see Winston be sad, but will that mean that the next CFB Ranking will just have 4 SEC teams in the playoff? I'm not sure if I'm joking or not...

No.  Oregon will be #4, Alabama #5, TCU (if they beat WVU) #6 and MSU #7.  That's the issue with other conferences - you actually have viable opponents on the road who can upset you .   Louisville at home and West Virginia at home are very tough games. Meanwhile MSU plays Indiana add Purude on the road.

Ole Miss and Auburn play this week so one will be knocked out of the top 4 and Oregon is ahead of Bama.

Man Petrino is a hell of a coach... Too bad he's a slimeball or else i would say Michigan should take a look at him..

Winston is the most reckless QB ever.

He threw that into triple coverage . . . and it was complete for a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Devin Gardner can't get his receivers to catch the ball for 5 yards.

There was a piece today on team's younger than UM and its like OSU, ASU, Alabama, LSU and you can get the idea.  Some serious nonsense going on here.  But yeah, let's give Hoke 3 more years - all he needs is 22 seniors starting and he should be good.
