This Had To Be What The Florida State Seminoles Were Looking At Last Week

Even This Guy Was Looking At The FSU Schedule Like This
09/04/06 - @ Miami
09/09/06 - BYE
09/16/06 - Clemson
09/23/06 - Rice
10/05/06 - North Carolina State
10/14/06 - Duke
10/21/06 - Boston College
10/28/06 - Maryland
11/04/06 - Virginia
11/11/06 - Wake Forest
11/18/06 - Western Michigan
11/25/06 - Florida
The state of Alabama has a strong combination of teams every year who give their state a chance to win a National Championship. Such powerhouse programs include: Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, & the Troy Trojans! Troy University is a school that offers students a future of possibilities that make it super easy to recruit student athletes. This past week we saw the Troy Magnum Trojans go to Florida State and take the Seminoles right down to the wire!
In reality, last Monday night Florida State played on National TV against the Miami Hurricanes. What probably happened was this: Bowden gave his players Tuesday off, Wednesday they watched the Clemson film, Thursday they did a walk-through, Friday they had the day off, then played Troy Trojans on Saturday. What I'm saying is this, Clemson def. has a shot against these guys but don't think that FSU is just gosh awful. They were looking way past this game against the Troy Trojans, they had some unlucky bounces go there way (Fumble 7 times, 3 of them Troy recovered). If you look at the stats, they won that, just like Clemson def. won the stat battle against BC, but games aren't played on stats are they?
Even though Florida State right now has a total of 46 rushing yards in 2 games, I'm sure they'll snap out of that slump against Clemson with an all-out track meet (hopefully they won't). With a few injuries on the Clemson defense, all of which are key players, it's going to be tough to stop them. Just because Troy held them down for a good while doesn't mean anything, this will be a great game to watch and won't be a cake walk for either team.

It sucks when you are in a must-win situation in Tallahassee. I think you hit the nail on the head Reese. I doubt they had Wednesday off for practice, especially after the first half scare against The Citadel last year. They were definitely looking past the Troy game, so I hope people don't expect Clemson to have an easy time. We haven't won in Tallahassee since the Danny Ford days. This should be interesting and a great game to watch. You could definitely tell our defense was lacking in the linebacker area and without a key member of the secondary, I hope we can stand up. This week should seperate some folks in the college pick'um.
