Florida State v Auburn
We don't watch TV at dinner time in our house. So we ate early. If the game is exciting, I may have to go to a sports bar....hard to get excited when the ball is 2nd and goal and 6 points separate the teams and you are asked, "Don't you think these drapes would look nice in the guest room?"
Winston may have had too much time the last thirty days doing the rubber chicken dinner circuit, hearing how wonderful he is.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Great play call by Gus...TD pass under thrown. His play calling will keep them in the game even though they are under manned.

We got a good un gentlemen.
This game might come down to who has the best depth and conditioning.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Not sure if even Flor St has a defense that can stop Gus and Auburn.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Auburn's defense is dominating! Even after a roughing the kicker Flor State could do nothing.
I know everyone picked Flo St to win this game but Auburn are not bums. They have had 4-5 straight top 10 recruiting classes, and they have a real coach now.

We don't watch TV at dinner time either. My wife doesn't even allow the kids to have a TV in their rooms, which is a big cause for argument at our house. We have a TV in our room, which my kids find hypocritical and my wife doesn't care.

I know this has been asked before....but why does ESPN have so many bowl games??

They pay and ABC would rather they play on ESPN so they can win both channels.

FSU is just trying to give this half away...their secondary is like cheddar cheese right now.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Auburn is all smoke and mirrors, and I mean that in a good way. Why every coach in the entire nation doesn't use misdirection as often as he does, I have no idea. It flat-out works. There's too much to process for a defense.
Florida State's only hope is for their offense to get going and score points. They won't be stopping Auburn any time soon.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Don't think Florida State has the defense to hang with Auburn. If not for a dropped pass on the first drive this game would be 21-3.
Florida St only gave up 10 points a game this year. Bama only gave up 11 points a game this year. Number 1 and 2 in country. Auburn made Bama look silly and they are doing the same to Flor State. I know there is a lot of time and a game can change quickly. This is a big drive for Flor St coming up.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
I really didn't expect the game to go this way. I have to admit.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
I ate lunch with Gus (and his coaches) almost every day for a year and the man knows football. I was the band director at Shiloh Christian his last year he coached there. He is a super nice guy as well. I am definitely pulling for Gus.
Florida States offense looks terrible.

Re: Florida State v Auburn
Eric, you are correct. The mis direction on last two runs proves it.
Funny watching defenses trying to defend a Gus offense...they just don't know who has the ball half the time until it is too late.
