We beat FSU if Maason, Diggs, and Denver Harris start with Perkins playing as he should.

I know Harris gave up some plays last weekend, but he would have played Coleman better than Zy or Duce. While Coleman definitely would have had some TDs, a few third and longs would have been limited.

Maason would have helped pressure Travis enough to also affect a few of those third and longs.

Kelly will admit they used Perkins wrong. Had he been appropriately used, it would have disrupted Travis game.

Finally, I know for a fact that Diggs would have gotten a TD at the goal line on the opening drive. The offense would have been so much better with him playing.

Long story short, I hope we get a rematch in the Playoff or NY6 bowl.

If we’re having this fantasy can we also play the WRs that catch the football?

Did you watch the Grambling game?

There is nothing in that game that leads me to believe Smith is a force in the DL, or that Harris could lock down Coleman.

I agree that Perkins wasn’t ready to play ILB, but on the outside I believe Norvell would have run at him, and accounted for him on pass plays. It may or may not have made a big difference, but it couldn’t have hurt.

We really dk if any of that would've made a difference.

We saw just last week that Maason still needs time to get back into the swing of things. He honestly might've been a non-factor against FSU because of this.

Your Diggs assumption is also not based on anything concrete. I do think Diggs can be the best back on the roster but I'm not ready to claim he's the next Reggie Bush just because he bullied a Grambling defense.

Having Denver could've made the biggest difference in the game but even then who knows if he slows down the FSU offense at all.

There were bigger issues than individual matchups in the FSU game. The biggest one of all was the team giving up in the 4th quarter when it was still a 7 point game.

It wouldn’t have been close. Those would make a 28 point difference

Yall gotta stop overhyping Maason man


Mekhi Wingo had more pressure on one drive again FSU then Maason had his whole game against Grambling

Dude is good but he's not what we are hyping him up to be

I don’t think so . You could say muh if Roy and oujalari stayed another year we would’ve won . Games over we lost . Those players you listed wouldn’t of got us a win . We got our arse whipped in multiple areas . They’re the better team nothing to argue about

Grambling double and triple teamed Smith. If FSU has to do either Wingo and others get off with more pressure on the QB. Don’t know if that saves us but he definitely makes a difference.

It’s an ACL and he’s also nursing an ankle injury, he won’t be his old self until around thanksgiving. The hype is legit but I warned you guys all summer that it was gonna take some time for him to be 100%. Be patient.

Bruh... move on... maybe we would have maybe we wouldn't have.,


FSU is a really good team. It isnt a knock to lose to them. Makes the path harder but it doesn't mean we are done for.

I think we STILL beat them if we didn't waste at least 3 scoring opportunities in the first half. We should have been up at WORST 24-10 at halftime. Best 31-7.

Yep, as soon as we lost the lead in the 2nd half we panicked and abandoned the game plan offensively. If we had the cushion we should’ve had we absorb the first TD and could’ve stayed on schedule.

I truly believe if we catch half of those dropped balls it's a completely different game. Maybe we still would have lost but it would have been a much closer game
