re: Is it too early to talk about the matchup with FSU?

Smith penetrated like all 5 plays he played before he got hurt too

Starting 11 on D for that first drive will look VERY different than what FSU saw last season. Size, strength, speed, experience and skill level. Perkins will give their QB fits, much like he did to BY in the Bama game. The front 7 will hold up well vs the run and the DBs will lock down their counterparts.

On OFF get the ball out to Nabors, BT and others to make plays. The OL must pass protect and impose their will on FSU to get the running game going. JD will take his shots and make some key plays, especially on 3d down to sustain drives and get points.

Statement game for our Tigers. Make it a big one! Tigers W 31-20
