Game Thread: Florida State vs NC State - Friday night game ESPN

[DzynKingRTR]

It is really frustrating watching FSU's QB be mediocre to terrible against everyone else.

 

[Elefantman]

Nothing like the excitement of an ACC game between two 5-5 teams

Its amazing how hes basically sucked all year except in the game he played against us. That loss has haunted this season.

They hired Malzan for that game.

They practiced for us for weeks, probably much longer.

Ty was in his first real start.

It was a perfect storm.

I get it, but to be fair, Castellanos had a pretty mundane day against Bama - Bama just failed to show up with any effort:

 

[Special K]

Yeah, it still baffles me how we lost to these chumps.

Looking at those stats just doesn’t jive with my memories of that day. Dadgum

Literal lack of effort, which (sadly) points directly to the coaching staff.

Not unlike OU.

Gotta tighten some things up or Bama's gonna be playing from behind the 8-ball late every season...

Because narrative.

If Bama had shown up and given 10% more it would have been a W. But they didn't and history is written by the victors, so to speak...

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Paint drying is more thrilling than this game.

 

[smokies1]

FSU playing like they want the number 1 pick

 

[denver]

How did we lose to these guys???? they are awful

 

[TDBama78]

I can see another coaching job opening up

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

NC State is up 21-11 with 1 minute remaining in the game.

 

[CB4]

So is Norvell done at FSU? He’s 7-16 overall the past two years and 3-13 in the ACC.

Does the 13-1 from 2023 get him another year in Tallahassee?

I think Alabama fans tend to overhype mediocre quarterbacks who beat us to the point that they lose sight on what actually beat us. I would say a far bigger issue vs FSU was that their running backs hit 152 yards and 3 of them were averaging 4 yards a carry. It’s like every Alabama fan who hypes up Stephen Garcia… he had an elevated day for him but it really was an average day overall. What beat us that day was Lattimore and their defense totally shut down our running game.

FSU was basically South Carolina 2010. We got punched in the mouth by someone punching above their weight on the road and we never recovered. If we played either game 10 times we win 9 of them.

Thank you. The Garcia thing gets on my nerves...think it was RBR who did a deep dive years ago and virtually all of the so called "career day beat Bama" stereotypes were inaccurate statistically
