Florida State is getting beat down again.

They definitely did. They had 10 NFL Draft picks from that roster and then guys that were signed as undrafted free agents.

1st rd DE Jared Verse (stud)
2nd rd DT Brandon Fiske
2nd rd DB Renardo Green
3rd rd DB Jarrian Jones
7th rd LB Tatum Bethune
(Kalen DeLoach LB signed with Tampa but got released)

Offensively
2nd rd WR Keon Coleman
2nd rd RB Trey Benson
5th rd QB Jordan Travis
6th rd WR Johnny Wilson
7th rd TE Jaheim Bell

When you lose guys like that when you didn't have a ton of depth and the portal doesn't have that type of talent to replace them with, you end up with disastrous results apparently. I'm sure both coordinators are getting canned. The offense is the biggest culprit of suck.
Yeah that is a lot, I guess they whiffed In the portal but I know they did at QB because he’s terrible.

I would actually listen to The Hack and Matt Kentucky Sports Show, but I would call it “Hack y Sack.”

I’d do it in a heartbeat, but having two obnoxious know-it-alls on the air at once . . . might be worth the price of admission!!

Talk about an animal “with two a$$holes,” two lawyers talking sports . . . me and Matt Jones would likelier draw a shooter than Donald Trump would on a bad day for the Secret Service!!
 
I don't think that's the case because Nebraska certainly isn't a top academic school. FSU's admission standards are pretty crazy high now. I think FSU is considered a top 30 state university among FBS schools on the last rankings article I saw.
UK could benefit by simply tightening up their admission standards—but I guess the $$$ is too good (even when a ton of freshmen flunk out each year). You can work your ass off there.
 
Might as well just make this FSU watch thread for remainder of season.

Folks, they may win 1 or 2 more games.

They got Clemson coming up. Rumors of the Dabby Dabos demise have largely been exaggerated and he is on a mission I believe after last season, some of the heat he's been getting for being anti basically everything new in CFB. They're the real deal and getting better.

Then you got Duke, Miami...two undefeated programs and legitimate play off contenders along with Clemson.

UNC maybe a winnable game, but way things are going, they're licking their chops and looking at FSU like a win.

By the time Notre Dame rolls around, team most likely has packed it in. That could be ugly.

Florida, rough shape, but they have a bright spot at least in Lagway. Whether it's at Florida or he follows Napier somewhere, that kid has got some real potential.

I know the conventional wisdom is that Norvell is most likely safe via his buyout, I think that would be the case with a .500 season maybe they win their bowl game. A 2-3 win season, he could be gone maybe before the Swamp.
 
1-4 against that pathetic schedule they've played. And they want to join the SEC. I don't know, maybe if they were in the SEC they might be able to recruit higher caliber players & attract a better coach. If not, they had better stay were they're at or they'll get destroyed in the SEC.
They already recruit well. Just can’t do anything with the talent.

Admission standards and coursework are not the same for Athletes. It’s called the NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD.

The Hack would bury Marge Jones so deep they'd have to call in Fred McCoy to find the remains.

Quite frankly, like many others, I'm shocked FSU has fallen so far, so quickly. Have never been a DJ fan but they have a whole host of problems in addition to his well-known shortcomings. Did Norvell just not recruit any HS kids? They look physically overmatched at several positions each week on both sides of the ball. How does that happen at FSU? They have very good tradition, plenty of fan support, within easy driving distance of 200+ 3* or better talent every year - does not make any sense that they should be so bad after their stellar season last year. Yes, they lost a lot of talent. As did TX, GA, AL, OSU, etc. and they're not going 3-9 this year. Coaching staff needs to do a complete reboot of their thinking and an honest self-evaluation to get this thing moving in the right direction. Can't have a repeat of this disaster next year.
