FSU Football vs Alabama is BAD NEWS For Mike Norvell... | Seminoles · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Florida State at Alabama. Cole, we are presented by PrizePix.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What did Alabama do well in that second half against
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Kentucky that should scare the living crap out of Florida State?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: They blitzed really well against a offensive line that had
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: lost its spark going into the end of the second quarter.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: They were able to capitalize on short field position. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: they ran the football efficiently for the first time in
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: what feels like forever in the Kalen DeBoer era. So
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: those are the three main takeaways that I had. I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: was really impressed with how Kane Womack's defense was able
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to step on up and kind of regain control of
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: this matchup going into the second quarter. You know, you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: come on out in the third and you got the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: punt on the opening drive. And instead of being at
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that moment of, oh, woe is me, they're able to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: slow down Kentucky's offense and they force out They force
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: out the opportunity to get the ball back, and then
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: they are off to the race at that standpoint. I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: thought Kane Womack's defense did a really good job of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: blitzing too, whether it be with the secondary linebacker position,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: whether it be sending Jira Edwards down, who's a freshman.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That fourth quarter blitz to where he took out Kenny Minchey,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and I believe it was C.J.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Baxter at the same play.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal timing. And I think that's just a testament of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: what you have with veteranship being able to open up
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: creases that allow you to play a little bit better
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: than what your age description is. So those are some
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: major things. I think that the big question mark is
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the rumor about Ryan Grubb. Now, Tom, do you know
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: about this rumor or no?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Educate me.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So in the third quarter, apparently the play calling microphone
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: went out between the connection between the field and the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: office coordinators. And so the rumor is that Kalen DeBoer
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: took over the play calling and that's when things started
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to go their way. So do you go back to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that ideology against a front seven like Florida State and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: allow it to be able to just trust your rushing
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: attack to continuously put yourself in a good position?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Does it matter? Could Willie and Bama like call plays
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and probably be fine against this floor?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know what, you know what? So
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: there was a rumor TJ and I haven't gotten it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: confirmed yet. But apparently Alabama is going to do the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Akron side of things, where they're going to let Guy
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: call plays from the sidelines for one drive.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And you are the prime candidate right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Now just to go ahead and end the Mike Norvell era.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So maybe that happens for you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm running mesh every single play, and boom, baby, boom.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It'll be seven plays and a touchdown, if that. If
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we can tackle.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I think the big thing that you want to see
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: in this game is that there's more consistency from Keelan Russell. Now,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: what I appreciate about the offensive play calling in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: second half was after you had three turnovers in the first,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you said, you know what? Let's make this as much
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: as a comfortable position for Russell as possible. And by
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: doing that, what they did was they were able to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: run the football mostly with Daniel Hill. They got EJ
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Carwell mixed on in. They threw Treshawn Brown into the mix.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But they did a good job of allowing themselves to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: be able to take the ball out of Keelan Russell's
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: hands and give it to other players. And then when
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: they finally needed to. He stepped on up and passes
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to Rico Scott and Ryan Coleman-Williams and Lonnie Brooks and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a pritch at the tight end. So there's some things
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you can take away. Let's get to that next stage
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of the growth. You know, it's his second start. This
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: is an opportunity to where you can go ahead and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: continue to build in front of your hometown crowd before
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you take on another SEC opponent in South Carolina next
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: week that will be a much more intimidating foe than
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: what you have at Kentucky. So I think that with
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: this game more specifically, what you want is you want
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to be able to have the run set up the pass.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: tire out that front seven, tire out that defensive line
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to allow yourself to now have opportunities to make those
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: deep shots down the field to a Coleman Williams, to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a Lottie Brooks, to a Pritchett, and be able to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: go off to the races. And I'm just going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: be completely real. I think that Alabama is going to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: win this game pretty comfortably, but it's not because I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: think that Florida.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: State is bad.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I think that everyone still remembers what happened last season
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: down in Tallahassee and the way that we spoke about
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Kalen DeBoer. And whether or not you want to say
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that Kalen DeBoer is this rah-rah guy that's got to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be so intensified and screaming ass players, ego's a big deal.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Ego's a big deal for all men, just in general.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Whether or not we want to admit it, ego does matter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: His ego was hurt that day. And I think that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: he's going to make sure that the ego is hurt
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of Magnor Bell and Seminoles fans everywhere.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'll get right back to the show. But first,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at PrizePix.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: All new users there who play a $ 5 lineup and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: win get $ 150 in lineups instantly if they've used code HMA.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: This week on the Power 2 over on the College
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Football Addiction main channel, we picked these picks that you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: see on the screen. Mensa, Tony, Lacey, Leavitt, and Trinidad.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of these can be adjusted. So we took
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the more on everything, but some of us took the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: more on Trinidad to have one passing touchdown. Some of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: us took the more on him to have 1.5 or 3.5.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Some of us took the more on Sam Leavitt at 2.5
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Kiwan Lacey has a bunch of different options
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that we took.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: The more on.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You can take more than 76. You can take more
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: than 69.5. You can take more than 39.5 if you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: just want to try and play it safe. Malachi Toney at.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: 5 touchdowns. I took the more there. You can go
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all the way up to 2.5 if you think he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: goes off against Wake. Go check out the PrizePix app.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Take the more on everything, but adjust it to where
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: your comfort level is. Go check out them. Go check
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: out the live show of the Power 2. Make sure
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you are subscribed. Now back to the clip. Well, Mike
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Norvell will have a nice buyout if that's the case,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and so his ego can take a bump up. Tom?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I have a very random prediction for this, and I'm
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: basing it on absolutely nothing. I think Florida State will
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: have the first and last score of this game.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I think the final score will.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Be Alabama 42, Florida State 10. I think you get
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a field goal in the opening drive, and you script
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: it on out, and then you get a garbage time touchdown.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I hate this situation for Florida State fans. I look
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: at MikeG691 in the comments here. This Bama fan is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: not taking this game for granted. I completely understand that
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: if you're an Alabama fan. You thought the cue on
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Russell looked great in the opener. The Kentucky game gave
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you some concerns. This Florida State team is not good, period.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Their best bet is to get Deuce Robinson the football,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and they can't do that because I think Ashton Daniels
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: is probably playing the wrong sport. Meanwhile, I like Croma.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I like what the running game did against SMU. They're
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: not going to have the same opportunities in the running
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: game against Alabama that they had against SMU. I think
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: they're going to try to stay consistent with that because
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: really having Ashton Daniels stand back there and try and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: pick apart coverage, not a recipe for success. I don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: know what Florida State defensively is really going to do
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to limit Alabama in this game. I don't think it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a perfectly clean game by Alabama. I think you'll see
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: some instances where there's some frustration. The offense will be
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: hot and cold. I think they're still kind of figuring
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: things out. But Keelon Russell, I expect for him to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: be a little bit cleaner in this game than he
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: was against Kentucky. But just like that, there's no path
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to victory in my mind for Florida State.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Well, humor me, residential Florida State fan. What is the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: path of making it close?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Who is that?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's definitely not you. I was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: talking to Tom. I think.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: The path to victory is who's the backup quarterback.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. I didn't even say path to victory.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: There's no way they're winning this football game because of
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Alabama refuses.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: To let them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: What's the way of making it respectably close.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It's Alabama making mistakes in Florida state, finding a way
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to capitalize on them, which they didn't do against SMU.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: They scored seven points off of turnovers last week and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they got a plus four because of a jump offsides
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when they kicked a field goal and SMU was offsides.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So they capitalized off of SMU mistakes by about 11
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: points and They're going to need a lot more than
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that against Alabama. I think Alabama can name their score
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in this game. Florida State's defense is atrocious. Their scheme
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is bad with Tony White. That is one of the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: more mystifying things about this program that I even can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: comprehend because he did such a good job at Nebraska defense.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, the scheme is bad. The players are
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: not great. They have no... Florida State's bad in three areas.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Where's Florida State good in one area?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Three faces of the game, and they're bad in all
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: John McKay one time was asked, you know, about what
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he thought about a Bucs game after the Bucs had lost.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And the old coach said something to the effect of, well,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we can't run, block, or tackle. But other than that,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: we looked pretty good. So, you know, one time was asked,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what did you think about your team's execution? And he said,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'm in favor of it. And that's about where I'm
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: at with Florida State right now under Mike Norvell. But, yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they've got talent. And you mentioned Cromon. You mentioned Deuce.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they've got a bad offensive line, a bad defensive line
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and a bad quarterback. I don't know if there are
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: three things that would be worse for you to be
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at bad at, if you're trying to win football games,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: then the trenches and the quarterback. Yeah. They're not good
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: up front on either side and they're not good under
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: center or in the shotgun, whatever they do this weekend,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that makes it very tough. The path to this game
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: being respectable. And then, you know, wild, wild, horses ass
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: chance of competing in this game. Yeah. I mean, you
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: need Bama to play as poorly as they did in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the first half against Kentucky for both halves. And then
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you need to let Ashton Daniels loose and let him
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit. And he needs to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: be good at it. Last year, he had 250 yards
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: against Alabama on the, through the air. He had a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground. If you're Mike Norvell, are
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you playing this game to lose close or are you
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: playing this game to maybe save your job? I don't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: think his job is getting saved one way or the other,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but hopefully it's the latter. If that turns into a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: 35-point loss instead of a 20-point loss, then so be it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I have said this a million times, so if people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: have watched more than one of my videos this week,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I keep repeating it. I thought Sark
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: had the quote of the year when he was asked
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: about going for it on fourth down in his own 33. Hey,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: did you think about punting that so the game wouldn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: get out of hand if if Ohio state got the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: ball there and Sark ended up saying, no, that's how
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: losers think. And so, yeah, hopefully Mike Norvell doesn't play
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: this like a loser and goes out and lets the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: guys kind of go play loose. Because if you lose
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: by 35 or you lose by 20, what's the difference?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That's the path to the game being respectable. I don't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: think that happens. I don't think Bama plays poorly. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: think Bama could play a C plus game and win
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: this thing by two touchdowns because you Are you confident
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that Florida State plays an A-plus game to counteract that? No.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And so what's your best case scenario as a Florida
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: State game? Like a B-ish game? If Florida State plays
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a B-type game against Alabama, I probably would be pretty happy. Now,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: with the very micro, obviously, I want what I want
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for the program in general. But I think that the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: idea of Florida State competing in this game is just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a bridge too far. Football is dumb. Like if I'd
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have asked you last week, you know, going into this season,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: if I just said, Hey, what are your thoughts on
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma state beating Oregon? We'd have all said no way.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, upsets are stupid and they happen.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: The chance of Florida state pulling that off is really,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: really slim. They have to have figured out so much
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: on the offense and defensive lines and at quarterback for
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that to even be respectable this weekend. I don't think
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: that happens. I don't know. 41 to 12 Bama. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: will be more respectful, I guess, 38-13.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, not by much, but again, I agree with
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: TJ and Tom on one thing. It's a name your
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: score performance if you.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Allow it to be.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Now, that means Alabama has to show on up and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: play to its standard and show what it did in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the second half to be able to make it a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: name your score game. But even if you have a
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: bad first quarter, you have 45 minutes to right the ship.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I think that they will.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And more specifically, I think that you will see a
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: much more balanced offense and a defense that's getting after
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a quarterback. So 38-13.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I said it before, 42-10, Bama, Godspeed, Florida State fans.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Is there a line that I can get somewhere on
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: first and last score? Because I like Tom's thinking there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it'll happen, but it might.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Tom, let's go bolder. That way we can go ahead
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and replay the clip if need be. Touchdown on the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: opening drive or a field goal.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: On the opening drive? Field goal on the opening drive.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: They script out something that it's like, okay, they march down,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: they get something, it stalls. And then they get a
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: garbage time touchdown when Bam has a backup.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Just want to make sure.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Ashton Daniels would have to play the best game of
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: his life. And I have said this off air. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: think Ashton Daniels is probably playing the wrong sport.
