There wasn't much impressive about FSU scoring those points. The OL was atrocious even though Ole Miss's DL was depleted to graduation and the NFL they got to the qb at will. Cook couldn't do anything on the ground and had to do it in the passing game. Not hard to look good at qb when a guy can run a 25 yard route and still have ten yards of cushion. The cushion was insane. It was just pitch and catch. The Ole Miss lb also never once picked up the TE when he ran a route. He was wide open every time. Ole Miss also turned it over 4 or 5 times giving the Noles great field position. Ole Miss's OL like FSU's was horrific. They had a former C/G playing tackle who wasn't any good as a center or a guard. We're going to destroy FSU's (and Louisville's) offensive line. It'll get ugly quick and we actually have db and safety play so Francois won't have those easy wide open pitch and catch passes when 10+ yards of cushion.

Same thing with the media slobbing on that Bama qb. USC left the Bama receivers completely uncovered when he actually completed a pass. He only threw for 145 yards to wide open receivers. Sorry but gotta do more than that to impress me.

If the correct call was made on Williams's non-fumble they ruled a fumble we would have routed Auburn. That turned all the momentum after we had gotten control of it. Such bs as the guy was clearly out of bounds when he swiped the ball. Don't know what the replay guys were thinking there.

about Winston going 25-27 for 356 against Pitt in his debut a few years ago.

This is what i saw from FSU...

-Their OL struggled for a good portion of the game. They haven't had a great OL since 2013 and i think this line will be pretty average too, but Ole Miss has a very good front that would give a lot of teams problems. OL is FSU's biggest weakness though.

-They had numerous coverage busts in the secondary in the first half that gave Ole Miss some huge plays in the passing game. You can hang your hat on this if you want, but i would be willing to bet we won't see many of those come late October when we play them. It's not like coverage busts are something i typically associate with an FSU defense. You can bet they will get a lot of that cleaned up.

-Their freshman QB is a stud and Jimbo is one of the best in CFB at making adjustments at halftime to get his QBs on track. They are loaded on offense everywhere except the OL which is pretty average as i mentioned above.

-Their front 7 is right up there with some of the better units in the country.

-New Aguayo looks just like old Aguayo.

They aren't perfect, but assuming they get their secondary miscues cleaned up they are one of the 3 best teams in the country right now. They are going to be really tough to beat down in Tally.
