"#UCLA might've been the one P4 offense in the country worse than #UNC's coming into today. They fire their HC change their offensive staff & they score XX to beat Penn State. Coaching matters"

"Shannon Dawson had an EXCELLENT plan for #Miami. He knew #FSU would sell out to take away the inside run (and they did take away the inside run) so Miami won on the edge with a bunch of screens and swings forcing #Noles to do something they haven't done well: tackle in space"

"Pretty awful 1v1 tackle attempt by Earl Little on that first #Pitt TD. This defensive scheme depends on the Rover making those plays. He made that play repeatedly vs #Bama but hasn't been the same player since"

"This sort of fan "response" is toxic to a program's ability to gain & maintain success. Norvell has already gone unbeaten once at #FSU. What are the odds that his replacement would be able to do that Look at the #Gators or any number of other programs that reset every few years"

"Unreal. #UNC just cant get out of their own way. Shouldve been a go-ahead TD but a fumble going in becomes a touchback instead. This is like watching 2024 #FSU. Finding inventive ways to lose games at this point"

"@michaeldetardo I think #FSU goes into half up by XX. So not quite XX no. But three scores yes. I don't think this game will be very competitive (and this from someone who warned vs both UVA and Pitt that those teams were bad matchups & very well could beat #FSU)"

"After going fully through the coaches' film for the #FSU vs #Miami team it's very apparent that this game was not decided on the line of scrimmage. #Canes dominated the #Noles' secondary while FSU had lots of openings in the passing game & didn't make those plays. Full stop"

"Lots of folks saying #Miami pressured #FSU QB Tommy Castellanos lots the whole game forcing bad decisions. Here's cut-ups of all pass plays until 1st INT. Take a look & find where he's made uncomfortable or hurried. Draw your own conclusions. Rest of game looked the same. Stop letting pregame narratives tint your perception of what actually happened"

"Given this tape White should be bringing XX basically every play. No reason not tothey allow tons of space in zone even when they drop eight. Problem is that the unblocked #FSU rusher whiffed on every opportunity but one (sack by 27) when they brought X. So so bad"
