• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It was one of an overnation of CJ Wilson here
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: with Dope Talk.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Let you guys funnel in a little bit. I'm sorry
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: about the late start. Currently in the hotel right now
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: recording as you guys see what's traveling a little bit
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Dominating win for FSU 38-7. Win in Tallahassee.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Was not expecting this at all. Really dominating win on
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, offense and defense. Rough. Starts
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of the game, rough first quarter, first couple of drives.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: After that, pretty much everything got rolling. But you guys
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on the spill, want to go through the game a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: little bit, offense, defense, and then give you guys some
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: takes on certain things, chat around the program and stuff
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: like that. As you guys know, it's a lot of
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: chatter around the program for sure. So we'll get into
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: those takes. And also at the end of the show, well,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the show, you know you guys,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: we like to end it rather with the call-in portion
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: idea for you guys. It's been a few weeks since
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: we actually touched base and talked with each other. You know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: last week, didn't really go live after the win against Central,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the fight in Mark Northvale's Central Arkansas. Didn't go live
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: for that game, really didn't feel the need for that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And also, Superdude producer Harlan, he was traveling as well.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So he decided to skip last week, so he's back
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: with this week. So I know you guys have a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: lot of, I guess, takes to get off within the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: last two weeks since we last talked. So we'll be
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: opening the floor as well towards the end of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: show to discuss.

• 9:51
  Speaker 1: All right, guys.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Perfect quarter for the most part. Well, near perfect game
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for the most part. Three quarters of perfect football, in
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: my opinion. The first quarter was definitely very sloppy, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: they made the adjustments and kind of settled down a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: little bit and got things going. I've been asking for
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a complete game. I was hoping we got that against
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Central Arkansas. Of course, this wasn't a complete game, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it was close enough to what we have as I've
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: seen a long damn time from an offensive side, from
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a defensive perspective and an offense perspective.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I did not see this coming at all.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: 464 yards of total offense to 205 yards of total offense. Man,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: shout out to that defense, man. Shout out to the defense.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Got to give Tony Wright and company credit. You guys
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: have seen the defense throughout this season has been terrible,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to say the least. One of the worst defenses in
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: P5 gave up, what, 500 yards against Bama, was it?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Close to 600 yards.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Against SMU to hold these guys to 205 and a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: pretty good offense with Bo as the quarterback and a
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: really good running game.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: So shout out to the defense.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: The biggest takeaway, again, shout out to the– this has
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: been one of the Achilles heels for both offense and defense,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: which kind of goes to my point about a near-perfect game,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: third down conversions.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I've been harping big, not just me, everyone, right?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: This third down defense and how bad third down defense
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: has been We were three for– UVA was three for
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: 15 on third downs.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Like, that's amazing. Amazing.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That's what winning football is like. You know, on the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: flip end, FSU was six for 12, 50%.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Not bad. So, pretty good as well, too. I like it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And we're getting to the thick of things with this
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: ACC stretch that everyone's been talking about. Virginia being the start.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: We have Louisville this Friday night. And, of course, Miami
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and followed by Clemson. So, that's where we're at with
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: things on that end. We'll see how things play out
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: because as we see Louisville, what, two or three right now,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, we kind of crowned them a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: little early after that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss game. That's preseason shit, right? Excuse me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That goes back to the talking point about preseason frankies
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and all that type of stuff. I really think all
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: that shit should be thrown out the window. None of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that stuff is a proven sign, especially in today's game
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of the transfer portal, right? there's so many moving parts
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: within these teams and that type of deal to where
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: there's no absolutes when it's coming to the season. Like
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you can't make pre-season predictions, but you know, I get it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We get it. They do it for TV ratings and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: early pre-season games.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: You got to build the hype top 10, quote unquote,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: top 10 matchup, build a TV revenue, you know, get
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: TV money and all.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: That type of deal.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: But, I say all that to say this, that first
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: game against Ole Miss versus Louisville, we kind of felt like, oh,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: these guys could be for real based upon how it
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: looked against Ole Miss. And Ole Miss, you know, went
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to the national championship. No, not national championship. Went to the, what,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the semifinals against Miami last year and ended up losing.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Brought a lot of people back, pretty much a top
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: 10 team coming in, SEC, that type of deal. We've
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: seen how Ole Miss looked against Florida in the swamp,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: doing up 50 damn points. Again, we see they jump
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Florida all the way to the damn top ten, right?
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And they got their ass muds coming against Mizzou on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the road, who is another ranked team.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And again, Missouri shouldn't be ranked at all either. But
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there. I say all that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I say this as far as that Louisville game doesn't
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: look as, quote-unquote, scary as we thought coming in.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how that plays out.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But we'll start the portion of the show with the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: defense first. I got to give my hat to Tony
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: White and those guys and kind of go on with that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The shots, the defense, amazing performance, amazing performance, man. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Tony White emphasized this coming in, and we knew this, but,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: of course, the fan base took his quote and kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of ran with it and took shots with it because
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the pass defense has been so bad. But he was
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: saying that the main focus is to stop Virginia's run game,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: which is true because those guys have been very effective
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: running the football. They pretty much bullied us last year.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: If you guys remember the Virginia game last year, they
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: bullied us in the run game last year. And that
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: was pretty much the tale of the game and why
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: we gave up so many points last year against Virginia.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And they did some mesh stuff that pretty much a
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: lot of coaches saw it on tape and exposed the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: linebackers in the past game. But the majority of the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: issue last year was the run game. And coming into
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: this game, Virginia had a really strong run offense. They
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: had three rushers with over 150 yards, whatever, three really
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: good running backs. And the quarterback is able to run
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: as well, too. We held those guys to 27 rushing yards.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say this again. We held those guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: to 27 rushing yards. And this is after, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the week prior, Bama pretty much did what they wanted
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to in the, I guess you'd say, the fourth quarter.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Taylor didn't play game once, you.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Know, fourth quarter once. The defensive line was kind of
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: worn out. The depth took a toll in that type
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of way. The lack of depth rather took a toll.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And Bama was able to run the football and put
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the game away and not give the offense a chance
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to get a score.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: You saw that last week and this week. Shout out
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to the run game. They did a really good job.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, those guys had 40 attempts, averaged less than,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of course, Saks does factor into this as well.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We'll definitely get to that in a second. But they
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: averaged less than one yard per rush.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Man. And this is what we expected from Tony White
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and his defense coming to.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Florida State, right?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: If you guys remember going back to those Nebraska days,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Their run defense was really damn stout.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was, I don't remember exactly.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I know I had all that information once he was
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: actually hired, but it was a certain amount of games
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: where they held opposing teams to less than 100 yards rushing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So this was one of the staples in Tony White's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: defense is stopping the run, and they did a really
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: good job this past.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Week, well, yesterday, rather, against Virginia. Really good job.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And again, like I said, that run game was the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: strength of their offense, rather. They had three really good
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: backs that could do damage. And of course the quarterback bow, um,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: baby Tebow per DC, Tony white, it's 14 to 32,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: 168 yards.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: One pass touchdown.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Um, he was coming in hot to this game prior
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: to the FSU game within the four games. He had
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: 11 touchdown passes and just one interception. So hats off
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: to the defense. Now it was a few drops for sure.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It was a few drops. I'm not going to deny
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that at all. It was a few drops. Um, But again,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Tony White was more aggressive in coverage, wasn't as passive,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: got in their face a lot more, and we emphasized
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: stopping the run, like I said. And going back to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: stopping the run, shout out to Kevin Wynn, man. Shout
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: out to Juju. This is what we thought we were
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: getting when we recruited this kid. Was a high four-star recruit.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I think he was within the 50 or 100 range.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact ranking, but a highly regarded recruit.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Georgia was after him. Texas was after him.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: This, that, and the third.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Had battled some injuries early on. He's starting to get
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: into game shape and get more snaps and get more reps.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: He played 30 snaps yesterday against Virginia. We need more
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: of him. I need more of that. He's clearly the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: best run stopper. He could be a difference maker for
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: FSU within his 3-3-5 defense if you have a dominant nose, right?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Go back to the last few years.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Darryl Jackson has been, well, not last few years, last
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: year in general, Darryl Jackson was the anchor of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: defense and was the unsung hero and made a lot
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: of plays for other players due to him commanding so
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: much of just taking up so much space in the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: middle of being a force, a force enforcer in the middle.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And I think Juju is more, he's not as tall
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: as a Daryl Jackson. He's more, you know, six, two,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that type of deal, more style. So he's going to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be able to get more push.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: In the rain game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: He, when he gets quick, when he create, when he
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: tries to, when he goes and creates, what words I
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: want to use when he, Engages with the offensive lineman
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: and goes in the run game. It's a high percentage
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: that he's going to redo the line of scrimmage by
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: pushing the line back. He's done a really good job
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: in the run game. I think he could be an
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: upgraded Darrell Jackson at that position, which could pay dividends
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for this defense moving forward. I really think he has
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: been a key piece in how the running defense has looked.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: You look at the first half against Alabama. Alabama couldn't
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: run a damn ball, and Kevin Wynn was a part
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of that. He was giving Alabama a center hell all night, well,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: within the limited stamps he played. But again, really want
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: to give a shout out to Juju for what he's done.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: This is the kid we thought he'd be when we
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: recruited him. The issue is, in typical Florida State fashion,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: we have four to five Jujus on the defensive line,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: but to have One would definitely be nice, especially for
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: this 3-3-5 defense. He's definitely come along in a positive way.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: But like I said, I do think the coverage was better.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It had a few drop passes. But again, the biggest
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: story of the game is the defensive line getting pressure.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying the defensive line getting pressure. Everyone getting pressure,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: but the majority of the defensive line had a.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Hell of a night.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: We had 10 sacks. Everybody ate, man. Those guys, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: on top of just the 10 sacks, it was plenty
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: of times where the pressure was getting home as well, too.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: And shout out to Nick Williams, the edge rusher coach
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: in the pot rush as well. Man, those guys had those.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Those two had the players ready to go. Man, Chris
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Jones had a sack. David had a sack. The Sierra
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Twins got on the board with a sack.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It was a sequence. It was a back-to-back sack.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So I forgot who got the sack before Mandrell. Then
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: he followed up with a sack. Man, those guys were
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: playing ball. Ryan Kennedy looked damn good. Two sacks, explosive
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: off the edge. When we thought we were getting, when
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: we acquired him from Texas A & M, So again, man,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: shout out to those guys.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Ten sacks. Ten sacks. Ten sacks, man. This is what
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: we've been asking for.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: That shit looked damn good, man, the pressure they were getting,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: making the quarterback uncomfortable.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: This was the guy coming in, man. He was hot.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Eleven touchdowns, one interception. He looked uncomfortable all night. I'm
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: pretty sure he's in the ice tub right now. So,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: really good job for the defensive line. you know, for
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the efforts they put in. But again, 10 sacks, that's
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: very impressive. Very impressive. But again, this last night, well,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: yesterday's performance was day and night from previous weeks. So again,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: you got to give a shot to Tony White. We
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: gave criticism to him when it was warranted and rightfully so.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: That shit was bad against SMU. Well, not even just SMU.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: New Mexico State, it was bad in third down situations. SMU,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: we saw it was bad in all facets of the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: game as far as defense. And then, of course, Alabama,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it wasn't good at all in certain aspects, especially the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: second half.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: So shout out to him.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: This is a guy that pretty much he's been accepting
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: all type of criticism, right? He's been taking it on
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the chin and saying, hey, it's my fault. I'm going
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to hold on to it and try to get better.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what those guys did yesterday.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: They got better.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how that unfolds going into next week
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: against Friday Night Raw game. Moving on to the offense. And,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: of course, if you start with offense, you've got to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: start with Ashton Daniels. It was the Ashton Daniels show.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Wrote the FSU record for most rushing touchdowns in the game.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Had five of those.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: 17 rushes for 136 yards and five touchdowns. And I
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: want to give a shout-out to the coaching staff for,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I guess, putting the emphasis on pulling out, man.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Like, that boy refused to pull out.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised he may have a few kids running around
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: trying to ask him, you know, what previous– schools of this, that,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and third, Auburn, Stanford, because the kid refused to pull out.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And these defenses reacted to what he put on film
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: as far as him refusing to pull out. They crashed
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: down plenty of times, not giving him any type of
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: attention as far as being a threat to running football.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And Virginia did the same damn thing because we showed
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: it all, well, he showed it, rather, on film to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: not pull out. So I'm assuming a coach on staff
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: based upon all the film we've been seeing, son, you
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: got to pull it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: You got to pull it. You're hurting our running backs.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: You're not the offense.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: The run game specifically can't show its full potential without
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you actually being a threat and showing that you are
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: a threat to run the football. And when he ran,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he ran. When he made the decision to run, he ran.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: One of the big issues we've been seeing is how
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: hesitant he's been as far as deciding to run. And
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: when you do decide to run, it's like.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: He's I don't know. It just looks... It looked weird.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Like he was... He would decide to run. He said, no,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it. It's like he's double-dutch
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: trying to jump back in and now he's not making
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: a decision to commit to it fully. We know what
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: he brings from an athletic standpoint. Really athletic guy.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Really... We saw that what he could do as far
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: as running the football. Big guy.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It paid dividends, man.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Kid had an 80-yard... When I say kid, he had
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: an 80-yard touchdown run on one of those plays. So again, man,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: shout out to Ashton Daniels for actually Committing to the run,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: doing what we've been asking to do since SMU for
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the most part.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Because I think he had like.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: 50 or so yards against SMU, and that was the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: worst 50-yard rushing game I've ever seen. I'm going to
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: get the exact number because I'm not. I know you
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: guys will kill me sometimes if I don't have the
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: exact stat. So bear with me while I get the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: exact rushing number. Shit, I lied. He had 71 rushing
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: yards against SMU. And that's the worst 71 rushing yards
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen. He could have easily had 100-plus against...
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: He could have had the same type of game against SMU.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: If Ashley committed to running the football against SMU and
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: this defense played half of what they did yesterday against SMU, shit.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That game was a fucking blowout. I mean, no contest
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: They tried to give us the game in the first
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: place due to all the turnovers, so if we do
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: that and he... turns those 70 yards to 120, 125,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: which could have easily been done in that game. We're
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: looking at a 3-1 team. That's neither here nor there. But, again,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Ashton was really good, really good. Kept the defense honest.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And also on this, it was a certain pass game
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad, but it was certain aspects to where you
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: got to let it go. Just got to let it
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: go from a pass-catching standpoint. It was one play where
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we took a sack when he shouldn't, because he didn't
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: trust what he saw. He had Landon Thomas wide open. Well,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: he had to throw him open, rather, right behind the linebacker.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: But if you see how the play was developing and,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you know, that type of deal, you knew he would
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: be open if you threw the ball in a certain
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: spot over the linebacker's eyes, over the linebacker's head.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: That play was there.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't see it, rather, or didn't process it quickly,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and it ended up being a sack on the offense
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: or on the defense, rather. But, again, there's certain things
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: like that I think could be a lot better But again,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you see the confidence in the running game. I hope
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: this builds for the next game moving in the future
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: because it's there. He could definitely do it. And he
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: also had a 183 through the air. Like I said,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Cromon Wiseman benefited. Shout out to Wiseman.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: He does. So explosive, right?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: We knew that coming in. He's starting to get healthy.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And we got to depend on him a lot more
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: now with Sam Singleton hurt. But he showed his explosiveness.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Had 106 total yards. With that big 48-yard catch, Mekhi
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Daniels looked really good as well. I think the sky
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: is the potential for him. The sky is the limit.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: If he continues to develop, he could be a really
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: nice receiver. This is only his third year playing a position.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Going back to Florida High, he was an athlete, played
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: everything for those guys, more so a running back and
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: defensive back and running back for the most part. But
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: transitioning to the receiver position, we continue to give him
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: more opportunities and that type of deal. He continues to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: get better and develop. kid could be very good. He
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: could be a weapon for FSU, in my opinion, as
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: a receiver. Deuce, man, he had a disappointing day, man.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: We got to get better. He had two catches for
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: 18 yards. We had two big drops on deep plays.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: One that could have set up a touchdown for FSU
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: before the half.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Got to get better.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: He came back to be one of those top receivers.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You got to make the plays. I do feel like
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Norville has to do a better.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Job of featuring you and trying to get you the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: ball at the same dang time, brother. You got to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: make the plays that come to you. And those two
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: drops that you got to have, if you want to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: take that next step and be him and be that guy,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you know, high traffic and this, that, and third, like
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you got to make those catches. You got to give
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: a shout to Mike too, man. Give a shout to Norville.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: His play calling has been damn good. Mike has done
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: a really good job calling plays the last few weeks.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Really like what I've seen from him the last few
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: weeks as far as, you know, opening things up and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: letting it go. I think I saw a tweet. Someone tweeted,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I forget, I think it was J-Roll on Twitter tweeted
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: that there was a picture of Nick Saban, this, that,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: and third, saying this is Norvell whenever his.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Job is on the line.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: And, you know, of course, we know if he would
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: have got killed in Alabama and didn't lose this game,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: it would have been a lot more of almost this
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: than third. But, Ever since those rumors have been coming out, man,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Mike has been opening shit up and letting it go
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: from a play-calling standpoint.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Let's get one example that I saw yesterday that was
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: pretty cool.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He ran the option a few times with Ashton and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the running back, you know, going to the sideline, your
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: regular traditional option, right? He threw a wrinkle in there
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and threw an under, well, had an underneath option with
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: the running back to Wiseman, if I'm not mistaken, for
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: a shovel pass. It was pretty much the same read.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Just you read your defensive end, whether he comes through
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: it or the running back, It's just the inside read
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: versus the outside read on your traditional option.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was a pretty cool wrinkle. So
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: little things like that.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I do think Mike Norvell is being very aggressive with
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: his play calling in certain situations. I think, of course,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you still see a lot of the traditional Mike Norvell
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: BSHG from game in and game out. But plays have
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: definitely been there for those guys to make for sure
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: from a play calling standpoint. So shout out to Mike.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Got to get him correct there. All right, guys, that's
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: going to be my little offense and defensive spill. Going
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to kind of jump into and segue into the rest
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of the schedule and what that kind of looks like
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: for FSU with the remaining, you know, how big it is,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: how pivotal it is for these next few games. We've
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: been talking about this stretch for a while. I just
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: want to talk about it now and I guess you
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: could say mid-season, so to speak, and how things look
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: within these guys. So, man, make sure you guys hit

  Speaker 2: little bit of love to Dope Talk and we get
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: those answered right away. All right, let's go on to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the rest of the schedule. We've kind of getting to
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the middle of the schedule, the middle of the schedule
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: of this week. four-game ACC stretch that we've been talking
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: about since the schedule pretty much was released, right? You
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: have Virginia, Louisville, Miami, and then Clemson, and then you
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: kind of go into the the rest of the schedule.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the rest of the schedule in a second.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: But just looking at this four right now, we've already
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: beat Virginia, right? So we'll want to know thus far
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: within that schedule. And we've seen Louisville. They are currently
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: two and three. Not looking as good as we thought
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: they would be.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: After week one.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: That looks like a very winnable game. They ended up
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: losing to NC State yesterday, and NC State hasn't looked
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: good at all this season. You guys remember game one,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Virginia pretty much embarrassed NC State in the first game
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: of the season and kind of put a lot of
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: people on notice.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: In that game, trying to quote that score from that game.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: So NC State, not a really good football team in
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: my opinion, and Louisville took the L against those guys.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: last week. Now, with that being said, we all know
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Virginia beat UNC State 34-8. This shit is crazy, man.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: This ACC is really crazy. You never know what you're
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: going to get from a game-to-game standpoint. Game-to-game standpoint, I
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: guess the only consistent thing we have right now is
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Miami is the best team in the conference.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: The rest of it is pretty much up for debating.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Just got to see how the rest of the schedule
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: plays out, but Virginia beat NC State 34-8. We beat
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Virginia last night. NC State got the win against Louisville,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: so that's the ACC, I guess. But I said to
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: say this, going to Louisville, that team isn't what we
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: thought they would be. But it's Friday night. Night game
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: on the road. We know how that goes. Typically for FSU,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: it hasn't gone well. FSU hasn't won a true road
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: game since 2023 against the Florida Gators in the Swamp.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: So again, This has been one of our Achilles heels, right?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: We played damn good at Doak, damn good at Doak
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: for the last, I'm not going to say two years
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: because 2024, that shit was terrible across the board.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: But we played pretty good at Doak last year, this
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: year as well thus far.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a big test for the
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: team going on the road, getting that win against Louisville.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: But again, we don't see Louisville as being that team
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: we thought they would be at this point in time.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And you fast forward to the Miami game, Miami is
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: clearly the best team in the ACC for sure.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: A dominant performance against Clemson last night.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: They pretty much had that offense, which is terrible in
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: its own right, but had that offense in hell all night.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So you see Miami for what it is.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: They're one of the best teams in the country, one
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: of the best teams in the conference, the best team
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: in the conference in my opinion. So you have Miami.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: And then Clemson. Clemson come to Tallahassee for Halloween. Really
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: solid defense from Clemson, in my opinion, from what I saw.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: They did some really good things against Miami, but that
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: offense is bad. That is a bad offense. You have
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: a true freshman quarterback, Doak Campbell Stadium coming in. That
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: game could be– Clemson has a little good this season
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: as well. That game could be an interesting one. And
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: then after you get through that four-game– well, it's four-game
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: ACC stretch that we highlighted so much. We have Boston
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: College on the road at Boston College. You go to Pittsburgh.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: That's a role game as well. I think that's a
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Friday night game too, if I'm not mistaken. But the
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: caveat with Pittsburgh, they just lost their quarterback. They just
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: lost their quarterback for the year. And he was one
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: of the better quarterbacks in the ACC. So that's going
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: to be shot. I feel sorry for that kid towards ACL.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: But that game is going to be looking completely different
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: now as Pittsburgh is going to be a new team
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: coming into that game with the injury to to Mason hydro.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: So you got Pittsburgh and then you got NC state.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't think NC state is a
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: pretty good football team at all. Just, but again, I
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: do like their coach. Their coach is a good football coach.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I don't, I'm not going to say they're not a
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: good football team. It was early in the season. They
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: could be getting better, but you have NC state, which
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: is another, another home game. And then you end the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: season with the home game against the Florida Gators, who
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: just got their shit pushed in by Missouri. I mean,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: God damn, that was an embarrassing game to say, Oh,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I was not expecting that. I would put Florida on
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: my ticket, right? I guess that's what I get for
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: picking the Gators. They just got embarrassed by Missouri and
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: kind of shown if you, which is a tall test,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: but it kind of shown that if you stop the
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: running game and run the ball and that type of deal,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: which we damn sure weren't able to do. I think
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Bob's still running down from last year for what he
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: did against Florida State's and Tony White's defense. But speaking
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: about what Missouri did themselves. They stopped the run game
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: for Florida. And the quarterback, he's nothing special to my opinion.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: He's not able to beat, well, if we don't beat
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: ourselves with poor coverage, he's not a guy that can
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: really just beat you with his arm.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I don't believe so.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: He's not a guy that can beat teams just being
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that type of guy with his arm. So with that
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: being said, we'll see how things play out. This schedule
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: is pretty interesting. I think I said Eight wins preseason.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Eight wins is still kind of doable, but we'll see
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: what Florida State team we have, man, because we kind
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: of saw this last week, well, not last week, last year, rather,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: against Wake Forest. As you guys know, Wake was a
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: nine-win team last year, and they came to Doak Campbell Stadium,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: and we just obliterated those guys, dominated Wake Forest, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: every facet of the game as well, too. So I
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: do want to see consistency and kind of See how
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: it boils on next week against Louisville, especially on the road.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: But that's the remainder of the schedule. You guys can
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: do what you want with that information, but I don't know.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: It's pretty winnable in my opinion. This ACC is kind
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: of wide open. Now, with that being said, we spoke
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: about the schedule, right? What does that mean for Mike
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Norvell and his job and that type of deal? That's
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the burning question that everybody wants to know, right? And
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: it's been news coming out saying that, you know, maybe
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Florida State will keep him or they don't want to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: fire him and this, that, and third. Guys, it's the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: same news. It's the same thing. This isn't anything new, right?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: This is the same news we knew in June, July,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: pretty much preseason, all offseason, going into the season that, yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: no shit. It's a no-brainer that the administration don't want
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to fire Mike Novell. That's not surprising. They don't want
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: to fire Mike Norvell. They don't want to have to
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: pay him X amount of money for the buyout, this, that,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: and the third. They don't want to be on the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: hook for that type of money if it doesn't work out.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Of course they don't.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Now, if you keep losing this, that, and the third,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: and the Romans keep getting louder and louder, it is
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: to a point to where it's undeniable that you have
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: to fire him, right?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: But no, don't get it twisted. Do they want to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: fire Mike Norvell?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: No.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: The running thought is that Mike Norvell would get himself fired.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: I told you guys preseason, I felt like eight wins
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: was the measuring stick if he wins. If he gets
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: to eight wins, I feel like his job would have
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: been saved preseason. I don't think you could fire him
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: for winning eight games. I just think he could, but
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think it would be.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: In their eyes, I don't feel like that would be
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a justifiable fire to win eight games. I'll put it
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that way. In the administration's eyes, they wouldn't do it
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: based upon eight wins. Seven wins, I said it could
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: get sticky and dicey depending on how the seven wins look. You...
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: play competitive, beat a Florida, Miami, or Clemson, something along
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: those lines, or Alabama, which you have. You already lost
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: to Alabama, so Florida, Miami, or Clemson. Then it'll be
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: a conversation on possibly. But even then, I feel like
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: that would be a little bit murky. You win two games,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: five games, and seven. I think they are, in my opinion,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: but again, I'm not making a decision. I said it's
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: preseason as well. That'll be a discussion depending on how
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: those seven look. But I would probably end things like that.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: But I feel like eight plus, he's good to go. Again,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: that has been a thought since preseason. Now, we and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the reasons the rumbles got so big, right, because we
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: saw New Mexico State 34-17 or some shit like that.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: We saw New Mexico State. We saw SMU, how winnable
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: that game was. We felt like SMU wasn't that good.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: So based upon those factors and how the rest of
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: the early teams, you know, Louisville, how Louisville looked and,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: of course, Miami and how Virginia looked against him. So
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: we saw those first couple games and then how the
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: rest of the schedule plays. Like, oh, there's no way
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: in hell, you know, he win seven, eight games. This
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: is a three, four, five-win team. Some people say, you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: only guaranteed win, which I can understand based upon what
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: we saw was New Mexico stayed in Central Arkansas.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And you pick two for four wins. So that was
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the narrative, right? So, of course, you win four wins.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: You win five, you win three. 6, 100% Mike Novell
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: gets fired. So let's put this shit in perspective and be,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: it's not new news. Nothing is new. It's just what
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: the performance are and what we've seen. We saw early
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: in the season how bad things looked, and we felt
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: like there's no way in hell they could get to
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: 8 based upon how the remainder of the teams look.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: We saw Florida looking good early in the season. Now
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: that shit looks iffy. So what I'm saying is the
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: schedule is, All this shit is fluid, pretty much.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's all fluid. I'm never going to root for FSU
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to lose anything like that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So if he gets to eight, that's a conversation that
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: those guys would have to have. But I just want
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: to put that in perspective as far as what things
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: look like for Mike Norvell in Florida as far as
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: his job security.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: There's no new information coming out of it. the administration.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: The mayor think about keeping him now or he gets
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: this boost, whatever, whatever, whatever. No, man, these people never
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: wanted to fucking fire him. I mean, let's be honest.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: They never wanted to fire him. They absolutely wanted to
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: work out. In a perfect world, they wanted to work out.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: So this is a new information. They wanted to work out.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: But folks, people thought that there's no way it could
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: work out.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And it was just.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: A non-avoidable situation of a foregone conclusion. He was going
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: to get fired. He was going to, you know, let
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: the games play out and he'll fire himself. So we'll
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: see how the rest of the schedule plays out. But again,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: if he wins eight, I don't think he would. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: don't think they will make a decision to pull the
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: plug on Mike Norvell. Seven, we have a conversation depending
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: on how that looks. Me personally, I would move on
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: from seven, but I'm not making those decisions. But again,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: this isn't new information. This isn't new information. We always
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: feel like just how the preseason looked, how the first
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: few games looked, and how the remaining of the schedule
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: looked within those first few games. People put two and
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: two together and felt like we couldn't get to this
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: and couldn't get to that. I want people that kind
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: of believe what the guys in those locker rooms, inside
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the locker room, they're still performing this down the third.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if that belief is still true because, again,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: it's Virginia. I felt like they were winning this game.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I picked FSU to win this game. I didn't think
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: they were winning this fashion and dominate those guys like that,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: but I felt like they were winning. The rest of
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the schedule, the rest of these games is what kind
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: of had my attention as far as what we'll be
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: looking at moving forward as far as his tenure, right?
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I feel like the rest of these three games right
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: here will pretty much tell the story. We're about to
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: find out. Again, we're about to find out. But just
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: looking at how it plays out, man, Louisville looks beatable. Again,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: we struck on the road. We're like Dr.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Jekyll and Mr.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Hyde when it comes to playing on the road versus
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: playing away. But Louisville looks pretty damn beatable. Friday nights
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: do scare me. But again, Louisville looks pretty beatable. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: think Miami would be an L. Clemson definitely looks beatable,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: especially that offense. Boston College, role game, still a little beatable.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh are complete. Well, we'll see, but I believe they'll
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: be a completely different team without Mason, who I think
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: is one of the better quarterbacks in the ACC. Then,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: of course, you have NC State, and you have the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Florida Gators, who they're clearly not a top-ten team.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Clearly not. So we'll see how the remainder of the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: schedule play out. Again, just we'll see.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: No need to– I know everybody wants breaking news, you know,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Every day, this, that, and the third.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Just let the shit play out. Just relax. Let it
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: play out.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: The schedule will take care of itself one way or another.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: That's my take on that. I just wanted to address
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: that and say, hey, man, there's no new information as
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: far as, oh, they want to keep Martin O'Reilly and
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: things like that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: They always want to keep Martin O'Reilly.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Always. People just felt like it would have been too
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: much of a tall task for Martin O'Reilly to win
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of games to avoid that. Well, I
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: guess a certain amount of games to Make their wishes
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: come true and keep them. Everybody thought he would fall
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: short and make the rumble so loud to his unavoidable
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: to where you got to pull the plug. So we'll
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: see how things play out. But that's my take. Make
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: sure you guys hit that like and subscribe button. I'm
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: pretty sure y'all probably going to look crazy in the
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: chat or whatever in that type of deal. We're going
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: to open things up from the phone line perspective. If
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: you guys want to join, call in portion.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Get your taste off. Want to hear what you guys
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: have to say. Whether it's about the game, what I
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: just talked about as far as Norville, winning a certain
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: amount of games, whatever it may be. Talk shit about Florida-Lewin.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Talk about the Miami-Clemson game.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: The call line is open. I know we got a
• 43:24

• 43:27

  Speaker 2: want to get your takes off.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Hit that like and subscribe button.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: And the Super Chat portion is open as well. Can
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Norvell win any road games the remainder of the season?
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: We're about to find out. We're definitely about to find out.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: That's my biggest question mark, man. We saw that. We
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: haven't won a true road game since 2023. We always
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: look completely different from how we play on the road
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: versus home. We'll definitely find out. On Friday nights, and
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: this isn't just a Mike Norvell thing. This is a
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Florida State thing, right, brothers? Norvell, Willie Taggart Jimbo Fisher,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Friday nights always are weird, not in a good way
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: for FSU.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how things play out.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: So you factor that in on top of this damn
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: team hasn't, well, this staff, Norvell, rather, I'm not going
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: to say this team because this is a completely different team,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: but Norvell himself hasn't won a road game since 2023.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: How do we match up against Louisville on both sides
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: of the ball? Haven't really done a deep dive on that.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: We're going to get our Louisville guest on. I got
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: to reach out to him and get him on for
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: this upcoming week to preview the Louisville game. Going to
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: jump on that ASAP. But haven't really done that too much.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: We do know they have explosive receivers on the outside.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Dwayne McCoy is one of them. This quarterback, he can
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: hurt you. He can run the football as well.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: He... He's one of those, he reminds me of Baker
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Mayfield a little bit, one of those high risk, high
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: reward type of guys. He can put the ball in
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: some dangerous situations, but at the same damn time, that
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: is one of his better attributes as well, putting the
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: ball in dangerous situations, just playing that style of football
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: because it benefits him as well too. But again, one
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: of our Achilles heels has been pass coverage, zone matching,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: that type of deal. They have receivers that can beat
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: us in that regard, and they have a quarterback that
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: can beat us as well too. And A guy that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: can move around and run around, so we have to
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: do a good job from a pass rush standpoint. Same
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: type of shit we did yesterday round. We've got to
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: do it again against Louisville from a pass rush standpoint.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Can't give them all day in the pocket and let
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: them move around and extend plays to make it hard
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: on our secondary. So it has to be another collective
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: effort from the secondary and the defense line in this
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Louisville game, in my opinion.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: All right, guys.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Again, if you want to join the show, call in
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Portioneers Open. All callers are welcome. Whatever you want to
• 46:09

  Speaker 2: going to give a shout out to our sponsor, FastPay
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: as well. I'm sorry, ClickSpan, not FastPay.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: My apologies. ClickSpan.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Any type of business expenses, we got you. Shout out
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to Alicia Knows 5666. Play my theme music. No theme
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: music today.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: What's up, y'all? Shout out to Alicia. What's up, everyone?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I prefer they keep Mike instead of pay 30 mil additionally. Instead,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: pay 30 mil additionally to all the players. We have
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: to spend way more on players, period. I do agree
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: we've got to spend more on players, period. But at
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: the same time, Alicia, we've got to be smarter with
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: our spending as well, too. When I say smarter with
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: our spending, we can't go cheap in the quarter for
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, which is something Mike Norvell has been notorious for.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: We can't do that. We can't pay a running back
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: that isn't, quote-unquote, a huge need, a huge amount of
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: money in the transfer portal as well. And that money
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: could have been allocated towards better support in cash. I
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: could have threw more money at a quarterback position and
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: offensive line and that type of deal. So, right, I
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: agree that we need more money on additional spending for
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: players for sure. We also have to be smart with
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: how we allocate those funds as well.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: That's my take on that. Appreciate you, Alicia.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: I saw a wide-ass open hole and I just hit
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: that bitch. Shout out to Caleb LeBron, man. Shout out
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: to my guy, Bo, Hall of Fame, Bo. Appreciate it
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: a lot, bro. Trey Weiser is still, I still wish
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: we had, of course, most definitely.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: But he had a great game for us.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: And I do think, and I don't like to kind
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: of pile on Trey. I do think he's a solid
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: backing and really good depth piece for sure. But again,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: it's just a certain amount of money we paid for him.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a necessity. Then you have, just that running
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: back room overall is pretty good. Amari Thomas, true freshman. Um,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: If you guys know that play, it was a screen,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: the double pass, screen pass, whatever the little trick play
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Mike Novell did. If Landon Thomas blocks that guy, if
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: he blocks that guy, Thomas is, Amari Thomas is pretty
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: much off to the races for a touchdown. I mean,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: it was a damn wall of Seminoles trying to block
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: the broadcaster mentioning that as well, too. But, again, he
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: turned that play into like a, It should have been
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: a loss, like a five or six yard game. But
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: that's another really talented back that we have. So I
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: say that to say this. Our running back room is
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: pretty damn good. So we didn't really need to spend
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: that much money in the portal on a running back.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: We paid Cromwell a pretty healthy price. penny to decommit
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: from Georgia and flip him from Georgia. You pay him
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: the money, you got to be your workhorse. You got
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: to give him the rock. We've seen the development and
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: how good Sam has gotten over the years from two
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: years ago on 24th First jump on the scene, what,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: kick return against Duke again, you know, last year and
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: to this year. So I say all that to say this,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: we really didn't need to spend that type of money. So, again,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I agree that we need more money for players. But, again,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: you have to be smart with that money as well, too. But, yeah,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I really like Amari Thomas. That kid is going to
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: be damn good. I remember the spring practice I went to.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: he just jumped out immediately as a guy that he
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be in high school, right? But he
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: looked like an SEC running back. Like, the kid was built.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, real shifty. He's going to be a player
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: for FSU in the future for sure. All right, we
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: don't got no callers today, you guys.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: This is the first. Secondary play is still shaky. Hoping
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: to see improvement there. Yeah.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, Virginia definitely had a few drops and some
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: guys that were kind of running wide open, that type
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: of deal. But they did improve for sure. It wasn't
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: the total debacle that we've been seeing. They have gotten better.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: So I do agree. Still need to keep improving.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: We got another one.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: We ain't leaving without a victory.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: We ain't leaving without a victory. Shout out to Jameis, man.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what the nose did.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Alicia again for the donation with the
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: super chat. agree 100% about the quarterback, CJ. Why don't
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: they play Malachi? I'm dying to see Malachi play. I'm
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: out to 100%. I thought even in yesterday's Virginia game,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: since their score was out of hand at a certain point,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: I would kind of see those guys get in. The
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: main issue with that is I don't believe that against
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: New Mexico State and against Central Arkansas, we just didn't
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: do what we need to do as a team collectively
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: to get those guys on the field. Last week, I
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: think Mike November made a big-ass mistake in not in
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: playing Sperry versus Malachi on that drive. I believe he
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: should have went with Malachi on that drive for sure
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: instead of Kevin Sperry. But I do know his plan
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: was to play both of those quarterbacks, and he was
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: hoping that defense got the ball back because Marshall was
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: warming up and ready to get in. The defense just
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: couldn't stop Central Arkansas to go out the damn field. And,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: of course, Central Arkansas ended the game with the ball.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: We never got it back.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: So the main reason we haven't seen those guys play
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: is just we haven't fucking did our job as far
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: as finishing these teams and blowing.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Those guys out.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: But I thought we'd sit a little bit against Virginia.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Never did. But, again, that's the reason why.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: But I agree. Malachi Marshall is a player.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: I truly wish he was able to enroll in the
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: spring and not in the summer and go through spring
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: practice just in third. Because at that point in time,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: I really– I think he's the most talented pass on
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: the team for sure.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Has the best arm.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Just needs to get coached up on the playbook and
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: develop a little bit more physically. So I feel like
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: if it had came in the spring, it would have
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: been no-brainer. It would have been the guy moving forward,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. Appreciate the super chat, Alicia. Chris Jones
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: played like something, man. I've been saying all offseason, man,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: all offseason, that was probably our most important transfer portal
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: get was Chris Jones. I've been saying that shit all offseason.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: He was a hell of a player for Southern Miss,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: and he's been showing that thus far in the season, right?
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: We know coming into the season.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Well, last year rather, the past few years, ever since
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: we lost Caden Deloach, Tatum Bethune, linebacker has been a
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: major weakness for FSU, right? A major weakness. And we
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: tried different guys in transfer court. It just hasn't worked.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Chris Jones was a perfect addition. Baber as well, too.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Really good player. He's been making players for us, man.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Ernie Sims, too. All of that shit,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: what's the word I want to use? Zip. It starts
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: at the top from a leadership standpoint, right? Attitude, this, that,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: and the third. It starts from the top. John Patuas
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: was the linebacker coach previously, and you throw in Ernie Sims, man,
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the energy, it's like a complete 180
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: in that room, man.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: It's a complete 180.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: That same maniac we seen in Ernie Sims when he
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: was playing for FSU, this, that, and third, you see
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: that same intensity in coaching, man. It's like once Ernie...
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: He's the greatest golfer downfield. Once he gets on that grass, man,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: it's like a switch. And he's locked in, and he's
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: coaching those guys to that level, and they're responding to it.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: They're responding to it. So, I want to give a
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: shout-out to Ernie as well. So, yes, Chris Jones is
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: playing well. The linebacker group overall is playing really well,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: and I think it starts from the leadership at the
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: top down. And, of course, you bring in good players
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: like Chris Jones, Makai Baber, and that type of deal.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: LaValley is finally getting healthy. You're seeing him make plays. So,
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: And also drew a blank. What's number nine? My apologies.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Omar Graham. Omar Graham, too. He's playing his best football
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: I know he's a fifth-year senior, something along those lines.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: But this is the best ball that Omar Graham has
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: played in his tenure at Florida State.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't think it's a secret as far as
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: it's the coaching job that Ernie Simmons has done with
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: the linebacker unit. But, yeah, that's where we're at, man. So,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: we'll see how things stand. This is going to be
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: a big test for FSU. Friday night going to roll
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: to Louisville. We'll really see what this team is truly
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: made of. You guys know me, man.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: To tweet it out quick as far as booking your rooms.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: We'll see because this ACC shit, man, I don't know.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: I think there's one team for sure that's going to
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: be in Charlotte, and that's Miami. The rest of them, man,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: is really wide open. I guess SMU.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Did SMU play last? Let me check on. Did SMU
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: even play last week or where they at? I'm pretty
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: sure they're probably maybe still undefeated in the ACC.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, SMU.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Did they beat Boston College 25-16? I don't know. The
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: SMU loss did hurt.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: It definitely hurt. The SMU loss, that hurt for sure.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Who did SMU lose to? Well, Louisville. They lost to Louisville.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: So they have one ACC loss. So that's going to
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: be interesting.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: So this is SMU scaled the rest of the way.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: They have Virginia this upcoming week. That's going to be
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: a pretty big game. They have Cal, Syracuse, Virginia Tech.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: It's going to be an interesting one. Wake Forest is
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: an interesting one. And then they have Notre Dame, which
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't count for the conference. They finished off with Stanford.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: So they play Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and Virginia. It's
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: going to be interesting, man. This ACC is wide open.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: It's wide open. I won't say it this week, but
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: if we beat Louisville and I think we lose against
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Miami and possibly lose against Clemson or possibly win against Clemson,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: maybe saying, let's.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Put it this way.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I may be saying either fire Mike Norvell after this
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: four-game stretch. Mike Norvell is going to be fired or
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be saying book your room for Charlotte.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: It's going to be one of those two options for
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the most part how it's kind of looking, to be
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: honest with you.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how it plays out either way.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Next few weeks, we're going to be saying fire Mike Norvell,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: and we're going to be firing up coaching searches, this, that,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: and third, or we're going to be talking about the
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: big tailgate in Charlotte.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much how I see it because this ACC
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: is really wide open.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I think Miami is going to be the only team
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: for sure that has a lock in Charlotte.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: That'd be crazy, right? We've been wanting this shit for
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: how long?
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: They joined the ACC in 2004, if I'm not mistaken, 2004, 2005.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: We never had a Florida State-Miami game.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: ACC game championship matchup, which is what ACC wanted when
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: they first brought Miami in.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be their annual rematch every year.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Never happened.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, the SMU Laws definitely heard we should be
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: undefeated in the conference play right now. But this conference
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: really is wide open. We'll see how things play out.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Nobody really wanted to join the show from a calling standpoint,
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: so we're going to end it, wrap it up right here. Again,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: 10 sacks, man, 10 sacks. Very impressive effort from the
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: defensive line. especially early on, not getting pressure, not getting sacks, man.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: I got to give my hats off to those guys.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I predicted a win for FSU. I thought it would
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: be a close one, but I did not see a
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: 38-7 ass-whooping. I mean, don't camera state him by Florida
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: State on the Virginia Cavaliers. Make sure you guys hit
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that like and subscribe button. We have Louisville upcoming this week.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: These next few weeks is going to be really interesting
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: for Florida State one way or another. Like I said,
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: after this four-game ACC stretch, My take is going to
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: be either for all the coaching searches, we'll find Mark
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Norville or book
