    Have you watched Florida St play? Jamies Winston is a product of playing next to future NFL wr's. Our secondary would have at least 4 picks in a game against them the way he just hangs the ball out there. Not to mention they have yet to play a team with a pass rush. Take the espn glasses off and watch some football for once old man.

    I think Florida State rolls in this one... I agree that FSU isn't as good as advertised, but Notre Dame has relied on some VERY fortunate plays to remain unbeaten thus far.

    I am not very impressed with Winston (think Kelvin Benjamin was the real star last year), but their defense should be enough to shut down the Irish.

    FTR, if FSU wins this one and Jameis can stay eligible through the remainder of the reg season, you might as well write them into the playoff... It might be tough for some of you, but we should be rooting for ND in this one...

    I'm not seeing this vaulted FSU defense. The ACC is weak, very weak and FSU schedule avoids the normal ACC powerhouses. I agree with you that if they win this one they win out but I just don't think they win. I think Notre Dame defense is the best defense they see and they don't know how to react.

    first of all, it's "vaunted." Not trying to be a dick, just thought you'd want to know in case you decide to use it going fwd.

    I agree that the ACC is weak and that FSU's defense is not very good (Lamarcus Joyner really held them together last season). However, I disagree with you re: Notre Dame's defense -- who gave up 43 to North Carolina.

    This season is really interesting because there is no team in the country that is separating itself from the pack or dominating. Every team has a weakness, and I could legitimately see any top-15 matchup go either way. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this game was a blowout for either side, or went to overtime. However, until ND proves that they can handle the big stage, the safe bet is to go against the Irish.

    In a more concise answer... Here are the reasons I like FSU in this one:

    1) FSU defensive line >>> Irish O-line

    2) Everett Gholston's fumbling issues

    3) Irish DBs (specifically their safeties) vs very athletic FSU WRs

    4) Run game favors FSU by a very large margin

    Citadel 322 yards of offense
    Oklahoma St 364 yards of offense
    Clemson 407 yards of offense
    Syracuse 417 yards of offense
    NC State 502 yards of offense

    Thats my point. Play a little d and score touchdowns instead of field goals you can beat FSU. FSU dline has had 6 sacks this year btw against some really bad teams.

    idk man, I just don't see it. I'm not arguing that FSU is a dominant team... I just don't think Notre Dame has the ability to beat them.

    Notre Dame defense:

    Rice 367 yds
    Syracuse 329 yds
    N. Carolina 510 yds

    Those three teams are ranked #53 (UNC), #60 (Rice), and #70 (Syracuse) in yds/game

    They're lucky their other three games were against Stanford, Purdue, and scUM... Who are ranked 84th, 108th, and 112th respectively in the same category.

    Notre Dame also gives up an average of 24 more passing yds/game than FSU, despite playing abysmal passing offenses.

    FSU is the #13 ranked passing offense in the country.

    I have a Notre Dame by 8. ND wins this game. FSU is no where near the caliber they were. Gholson will be ready.

    FSU is vastly overrated, I admit ND is overrated also, but there is a method behind my madness. I watched ND against Cuse, Michigan, Stanford and UNC. I watched FSU against Clemson (no Winston) and NC State, so not as large of a sampling. Without Joyner, FSU's secondary is meh, their entire defense is mediocre. I really think ND puts it together this game. I am not a huge ND fan, I just think that FSU is overrated. ND has killed themselves with turnovers all year, if they get a game where Gholson can freaking take care of the ball they can beat an overrated FSU. ND's defense is sporadic, but they have a good amount of talent spread around the field, Jaylon is obviously a freak. FSU has not looked dominant this year, a mediocre team like ND can beat anyone if Gholson plays to his ability, which truly is toss up.

    I agree 100%. I hate ND with a passion, but my hate for Winston is growing unbearable, I need him to be out of the lime light, I cannot stand seeing his face. Here is an Office quote if anyone loves the Office like I do, this is how I feel about Winston and it is also how Michael felt about toby: "I hate your face, I just want to smash it!". That was from Michael to Toby when Toby was counseling Michael.
