break our hearts. He's pretty clutch.
They also have a reliable kicker, which is big in a close game.

Depends on their new DC. I doubt seriously that he is anywhere close to being as good as Pruitt, so we should score 30-45 on their D. If our D plays a solid game and gets a few hits on Winston, then we have a good chance.

our issues with the Oline for the last 10+ years is still there , our strength and conditioning is still inferior to FSU and we still give away scholarships to D3 players.

No D3 players on this roster. Our OLine has improved a lot and the class coming in makes it better. Players like Crowder were starting day one 5 years ago. Now, he can't get on the field against good teams until he is a soph. Every team gives out one or two legacy ships from time to time. The best players play.

We either win closely or lose spectacularly.

Not saying I don't think we can win. I think it will be much closer than people think or are giving us credit for. Even though I don't think FSU is the #1 team right now, the fact is that we are playing #1 on the road in a hostile environment. Wins like that just don't happen very often for anyone. I will be pulling hard for the Tigers and think it is possible we can win, just not likely.

If we don't turn the ball over early, we will win. Jameis

is starting to crack under the pressure of the spotlight and his immaturity. Without the turnovers, we'll move the ball fairly well and wear on their defense while keeping our defense from getting worn down. Our defense will slow the running game and get more pressure on Jameis. Greene is the only receiver performing for them, catching 30% of their completions. Alexander will limit his catches and get a pick. And, last but not least, Pruitt is gone.

If we DON'T go to Tally believing we will win...

Then we will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have believed and still believe we will win based on the following:
1. FSU has a long history of losing games via large number of turnovers and huge numbers of penalties. All of last season neither one of those occurred and it is long past due.
2. Crab legs has a lot of internal pressures on his being and I believe if we hit him early and often--all clean shots--he will wilt
3. FSU lost as much AND ARGUABLY MUCH MORE THAN WE LOST FROM THEIR WHOLE TEAM OF LAST YEAR.
4. We've done it before and we can do it again!
5. Their porky attitude, like many things in life, will come back to haunt them
6. I believe that Dabo has been pointing to this game since last years debacle in DV and has some special tricks up his sleeve.
7. I've seen both of their games and simply put--they are no in the same league with the team from last year
8. I look for both Cole and Deshaun to play and play terrific games.
9. We are LONG OVERDUE to pull a shocker and our time is NOW
10.I believe that the difference maker will be Mr.Scott. He's off to a fast start and now can further showcase his talents and I believe he will do just that
FINAL SCORE: TIGERS 27, Criminoles 20

This is how I look at it.

Given:
I can spend two weeks, one year or whatever, being miserable with worry that we lose and if we lose at until we win again.
Add them up.
I can spend two weeks believing there's hope, then if we lose I spend exactly the same amount of time miserable from the loss regardless of how I felt prior to the game.
Do the math.
Disclaimer: I could take no consolation in saying I told you so after a loss. I'm not the type of person (cheapazzeddumper) that finds consolation in the misery of other Tiger Fans after a loss.
