Only way FSU beats Bama...

Don't play their game.
Throw it long, deep, and often.
Other ideas?

It all depends on improvement of FSU's OL. If they can compete in the trenches they can win. If not, it will be long night.

I think you're giving Bama too much credit and not

enough to FSU. Take a few shots of course but play your game. Run Francois and Akers a lot on read option. Run some QB draws and hit some short passes to loosen 'em up.

And take what they "give you"- don't force the ball

into tight openings and do not turn the ball over. We showed that Bama ain't perfect and FSU won't be either so the one with more patience on offense and fewer turnovers should win a close game.

Wear their defense out. Fast and keep the chains moving. Keep turnovers to a minimum (as always) and create turnovers on defense. Turnovers is an art and unless you practice stripping the ball, you aren't going to create a bunch of to..

FSU win helps us in so many ways...

More respect for ACC
Vaults FSU to #1 so they have to play with that added pressure all year.
Priceless = the look on Finebaum's stupid dumbo eared face when his sacred overrated SEC team has two L in a row to the ACC!
Boosts our strength of schedule.
Improves our ranking ahead of AU gm.
Improves perception of ACC.
Yata yata yata... its just good.
They are equal in most areas except for OL so Jimbo will have to be creative and lucky to take it but pretty evenly matched. FSU D should be really salty.
Bama losing two in a row to ACC would be priceless.

Nah, I think they have a great shot. If they just take what the game gives them and not force stuff, they'll be fine. Teams have to get over the mental hurdle of playing Bama, and then not try to over do anything. They match up physically enough and coaching wise enough, if they can play relatively mistake free they'll be there in the 4th quarter.

Where do you get that assumption. For the beating he took last year I think he did quite well.

Bama players are still tired from the NC game. CLEMSON wore their butts out. They might still be taking IV's to help them recover.
JK - Bama rolls on FSU. It is not gonna be that close.

FSU walks on the field, out plays bama, walks off with a win.
If Hole Miss could do it, shouldn't be a surprise.
It took fantastically lucky trick plays to avoid two in a row to CU. Even at that, we lost 2015 NC to the clock.

FSU huddles still so I don't think they are going to run 100 plays. If they don't find an offensive line Francois is going to get killed

I don't think FSU can successfully spread Alabama out. This whole power football hand the ball to the back and let him work is exactly what Alabama wants and recruits for. I honestly think Bama rolls them

Like any other team that plays Bama:
A) mobile quarterback (FSU has Francois, so they're good)
B) NO TURNOVERS (Bama has led the country in Non-offensive touchdowns the last 4 years)
C) Most importantly, establish a running game. Sure you can pass it all day long, but if you can't run, the attack won't be balanced and Bama can drop 5 and make it nearly impossible to throw. FSU's O-Line HAS to open up some holes for Jacques Patrick, Cam Akers and Khalan Laborn or it will be a long night. 100 yards rushing and FSU will win
