re: FSU game will be a bloody mess

Definitely with a new staff, but I think the same still applies even with the same players/ coaches.
It’s extremely difficult to simulate a live game experience in the off-season. Even with veteran players it takes a few plays to get back into the feeling of playing in front of fans, the other team trying to take your head off and the overall speed of the game. Trying to do that against a good opponent is difficult enough. Trying to do it against a good opponent that has one game under their belt is extremely difficult.
