FSU's REMAINING SCHEDULE: Can They Beat Louisville, Miami & Clemson? · FSU Football: Doak Talk

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go into the rest of the schedule.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: We've kind of get into the middle of the schedule,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: this big four-game ACC stretch that we've been talking about
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: since the schedule pretty much was released, right? You have Virginia, Louisville, Miami,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and then Clemson, and then you kind of go into
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the rest of the schedule. We'll get to the rest
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of the schedule in a second, but just looking at
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: this four right now, we've already beat Virginia, right?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So, We'll want to know thus far within that schedule.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We've seen Louisville.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: They are currently 2-3, not looking as good as we
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: thought they would be.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: After week one.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That looks like a very winnable game. They ended up
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: losing to NC State yesterday, and NC State hasn't looked
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: good at all this season. You guys remember game one,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Virginia pretty much embarrassed NC State in the first game
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of the season. Kind of put a lot of people
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on notice in that game, trying to quote that score
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: from that game. But, so, NC State, not a really
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: good football team in my opinion. And Louisville took the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: L against those guys last week. Now, with that being said,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we all know. Yeah, Virginia beat NC State 34-8. This shit.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Is crazy, man.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: This ACC is really crazy. You never know what you're
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: going to get from a game-to-game standpoint. Game-to-game standpoint. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: guess the only consistent thing we have right now is
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Miami is the best team in the conference. The rest
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of it is pretty much up for debating. Just got
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to see how the rest of the schedule kind of
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: plays out. But Virginia beat NC State 34-8. We whooped
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Virginia last night. NC State got the win against Louisville.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So that's the ACC, I guess. But I said to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: say this, going to Louisville, that team isn't what we
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: thought they would be. But it's Friday night. Night game
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: on the road, we know how that goes. Typically for FSU,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it hasn't gone well. FSU hasn't won a true road
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: game since 2023 against the Florida Gators in the Swamp. So, again,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: this has been one of our Achilles heels, right? We
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: played damn good at Doak, damn good at Doak for
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the last, I'm not going to say two years because 2024,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that shit was terrible across the board. But we played
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: pretty good at Doak last year, this year as well
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: thus far. This is going to be a big test
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for the team, going on the road, getting that win
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: against Louisville. But again, we don't see Louisville as being
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that team we thought they would be at this point
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: in time. Fast forward to the Miami game. Miami is
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: clearly the best team in the ACC for sure. A
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: dominant performance against Clemson. Last night, they pretty much had
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that offense, which is terrible in its own right, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: had that offense in hell all night. So, You see
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Miami for what it is. They're one of the best
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: teams in the country. One of the best teams in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the conference. The best team in the conference in my opinion.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So you have Miami. And then Clemson. Clemson come to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Tallahassee for Halloween. Really solid defense from Clemson in my
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: opinion from what I saw. They did some really good
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: things against Miami, but that offense is bad. That is
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a bad offense. You have a true freshman quarterback, Doak
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Campbell Stadium coming in. That game could be Clemson has
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: looked good this season as well. That game could be
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: an interesting one. And then after you get through that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: four-game ACC stretch that we highlighted so much, you have
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Boston College on the road at Boston College. You go
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh. That's a road game as well. I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that's a Friday night game, too, if I'm not mistaken.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But to caveat with Pittsburgh, they just lost their quarterback
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: for the year. And he was one of the better
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the ACC. So that's going to be a shot.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So we're sorry for that kid towards ACL. But that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: game is going to be looking completely different now as
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is going to be a new team coming into
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that game with the injury to Mason Hyndra. So you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: got Pittsburgh and then you got NC State. Like I said,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think NC State is a good football team
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: at all. But again, I do like their coach. Their
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: coach is a good football coach. I'm not going to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: say they're not a good football team. It was early
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in the season. They could be getting better. But you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: have NC State, which is another home game. And then
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you end the season with the home game against the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Florida Gators, who just got their shit pushed in by Missouri.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, God damn. That was an embarrassing game. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was not expecting that. I would put Florida on my ticket, right?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I guess that's what I get for picking the Gators.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: They just got embarrassed by Missouri and kind of shown
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: if you, which is a tall test, but it kind
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of shown that if you Stop the running game and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: run the ball and that type of deal, which we
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: damn sure weren't able to do. I think Bob's still
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: running down from last year for what he did against
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Florida State's and Tony White's defense. But speaking about what
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Missouri did themselves, they stopped the run game for Florida.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And the quarterback, he's nothing special to my opinion.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: He's not able to beat, well, If we don't beat
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: ourselves with poor coverage just at third, he's not a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: guy that can really just beat you with his arm.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I don't believe so.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: He's not a guy that can beat teams just being,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you know, that type of guy with his arm. So,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: with that being said, we'll see how things play out.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: This schedule is pretty interesting. I think I said eight
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: wins preseason. Eight wins is still kind of doable, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we'll see what Florida State team we have, man, because
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we kind of saw this last week.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Well, not last week, last year, rather, against Wake Forest.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: As you guys know, Wake was a nine-win team last year,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and they came to Doak Campbell Stadium. We just obliterated
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: those guys, dominated Wake Forest, and every facet of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: game as well, too. So I do want to see
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: consistency and kind of see how it boils on next
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: week against Louisville, especially on the road. But that's the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: remainder of the scale. Do you guys do what you
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: want with that information?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: It's pretty winnable in my opinion. This ACC is kind
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of wide open. Now, with that being said,
