FSU having a "week 0" game last year- Why is this brought up so much??

I don’t think we have all the special teams frick ups that ultimately cost the game if we had a week zero game

keep reading this so-called advantage FSU had last year by playing a game before LSU, but did it ever occur to anyone the advantages that LSU might've had? For one, that week 0 game gave LSU actual game film on FSU, while FSU had nothing for LSU which was made even more challenging due to LSU's entire new staff and quarterback. In addition, several FSU players got dinged up in that week 0 game while LSU was obviously completely fresh. In fact FSU's most dependable LB Amari Gainer suffered an injury and was out for LSU. If you watched UNC beat South Carolina last night you saw how good Gainer is. It's very doubtful Jayden Daniels has the rushing performance he had if Gainer played. So the advantages work both ways. I call it a wash.

Glad it's settled then.
Thanks

Mo nobody ever thought about that.

You mean to tell me you think game tape where they don’t show anything is better than actually playing a game. You Buffon

frick off retard

Nabors obviously showed he’s one of the best wideouts/athletes in the country last year, but Kelly would’ve had absolutely no idea he shouldn’t return punts until an actual game time situation.

Just being able to work out that one kink likely changes the outcome of the game last year, let alone all of the other stuff - FG blocking scheme, OL adjustments, etc.

It was a guessing game with a new staff only knowing individual capabilities, not matching that ability to best serve the team. Now Kelly knows what he has.

You actually think that FSU ran anything of use to LSU in that tune-up game? You are dumber than you look.

You can call it a wash, but I’d rather have a week zero tune up every year. Especially before a tough game.

Another advantage about having a week zero game is that you get two weeks off during the year.

I’d go over it more but it’s been covered to where you and the first responder still wouldn’t get it.

I haven't read much about that in quite a while

No, because there isn't really much of one.

An advantage that is significantly offset by the lack of actual game experience by LSU's entirely new staff, multiple players including two freshmen O-linemen, several transfer players on defense and a transfer quarterback.

Players get dinged up in practice and every game of the season.

The same thing could have happened on FSU's first defensive series. I am told those things happen in games, seems like something like that happened to LSU.

It's more doubtful he has any real impact on Daniels.

And you would be wrong.

There is a reason virtually every coach prefers to open with a team they have an advantage over.
