How have the directional florida schools like Central and Southern surpassed FSU and UF?
How have the directional florida schools like Central and Southern surpassed FSU and UF?
Years of mismanagement, injuries, and major suspensions.
Schedule might also have something to do with it, but I'm not gonna sit here and say with any confidence that UF could beat USF or UCF

I like the matchup with a running QB far more than one with a great arm. Running QBs haven't done anything all year against us.
Yeah it's hard to tell how good anyone is until they play better teams, but opponent adjusted stats can be useful.
Well, obviously. But if we both get to Atlanta and face off, if we both have great defenses and QBs that prove incapable of throwing, at least ours has legs and will get something, as opposed to Fromm the statue lol.
That or we unleash the Tua
Yup Mac was just boring and vanilla, Nuss, Alabama won in spite of Nuss. Its like people forget how much Alabama's offense was stuck in 2nd gear prior to Kiffin showing up. They went from a team that relied heavily on defense to keep it close, no turnovers on offense and safe play calling to a team that could blow the doors off anyone offensively.
2008-2013 you didn't expect Alabama to win a shoot out, or come from behind like they have the last 3 years in some games.
A Mac/Nuss coached offense loses to Clemson by 20 the past two years. That to me is proof of how they mismanaged the talent and skill positions, along with Saban getting even more outta the way.
Daboll seems like the right balance between what those coaches and Kiffin were doing.
Maybe the greatest offensive line of all time was wasted on Nuss. Derrick Henry behind that line eclipses 3,000 yards 😭

UF, sure.
FSU's just having a season from hell. Their roster is still elite level talented. They'll be aight.
Enjoying every second of them struggling though.

Soooooo many people live in states like FL, Texas, CA ect... that it feels like with the right coach shit can break your way as there is more than enough talent to go around.
Also while they aren't the top tier FL schools in terms of perception either educationally or atheltically they aren't bad education wise.
Plus they aren't small schools either. I mean fucking UCF has something like 50,000 undergrad students. USF has almost 40.
So you got enough of a fanbase to try and pull from.
Questions for the podcast tonight?
I think a conversation about the differences between Couging/Clemsoning/Battered Aggie Syndrome and other similar phrases would be appropriate given the events of last weekend.
UF, sure.

Noles also need to make some coordinator changes, particularly Charles Kelly.
You'd have a point if the cult of Penn State hadn't been spending years trying to clear Paterno's name.
Ding ding ding.
Penn State and Happy Valley still deserve to be nuked from orbit. I'd feel bad about a community dying, jobs lost etc. if it wasn't one that actively defended knowing about child molestation.
Well, obviously. But if we both get to Atlanta and face off, if we both have great defenses and QBs that prove incapable of throwing, at least ours has legs and will get something, as opposed to Fromm the statue lol.

Fromm isn't Hurts or Justin Fields, that's for sure, but he's a lot more mobile than people think. He picked up a couple first down plays last week on option plays where he kept and ran one in for a TD. The inside zone with our RB's works so well that defenses key super hard on it and he's wide open much of the time.
He's actually done pretty damn well running the ball despite being called a "pocket" passer. His rushing totals obviously count any sacks so it makes his rushing look a lot worse than it has been.

Ehhhhh, I believe he's decent enough, but I don't buy for a second he'd move the sticks on the ground more than once against us. We wouldn't be keying that hard on your RBs, for starters. Shouldn't need to.

Kyle Bonagura‏ said:UCLA is allowing 6.57 yards per rush this season. In the last 14 years, no Power 5 program has allowed more. 2nd worst: 6.17 ypc.
And the Bruins are allowing 313.0 rushing yards per game. The 2nd worst mark by a Power 5 team since 2004 is 279.9 ypg.
That's um, not good.
Intros are back this week by request! This week we talk about the debacle in the Carrier Dome, Andrew eating Runza in Lincoln, Nebraska, the state of Washington falling flat it's face this weekend, Gus keeping his hand in Auburn's cookie jar, and more. Also, screw The Coin.

Always been bummed there aren't any Waffle Houses west of Houston. Stopped in one before I drove to College Station two weeks back for the game. My brother hates that about Aggieland.

While I think Wafflehouse is okay. I have to admit I preferred iHop in T-Town and growing up. Now I just search out a local greasy spoon / breakfast joint.
They're okay up here in the north, but its not quite the same as living down south and having a lot of good choices and solid backstop in Waffle House. 3rd st diner in RVA will always be tops for the 'rude' staff at 3am and great diner food.

Just as I foretold Bama losing yesterday, I also foresaw the Great War blossoming right now between Cole and Tebunker.
It starts with someone liking shitty IHOP. (Waffle House is the clear winner here.)
It ends with a quiet ride back home from Auburn, AL.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I just caught this shark and it ain't gonna hump itself.

You guys think Johnny Manziel ever did drugs off of his Heisman?

WH has good hasbrowns and pretty much nothing else I'd ever eat. I like pancakes more than waffles any day of the week. Sorry not Sorry.
Trust me, got a lot of shit from friends when I'd suggest iHop over WH.
And there is also a subset who will go to war wearing the Denny's banner. Barf.
Shoney's breakfast was always legit too, but it served a different purpose than iHop and WH because they are generally open 24/7 or close to it.
If I could I'd eat at Pocahontas Pancake House in Virginia beach for breakfast all the time. Even with its cultural appropriation and horrid murals of poorly portrayed natives. The owners can make some damned good breakfast and really could just ditch the scenery/gimmick

Yes and I bet he's not the only one.

Yep, and it was such a random, but valid question, I had to throw it out there.
Also, they need to hurry the fuck up. San Antonio does too. Waffle House should be everywhere!
True. But his name is booger, so he gets at least one pass a week.Booger McFarland is just a terrible analyst.

Yeah that's true. I'm usually a bacon guy, but yeah hashbrowns are good as are grits.

Podcast follow-up question: after you had the Runza, did you get the runs?
nope! although i dont have this fabled terrible stomach that most of gaf has in which you eat anything you instantly shit forever,
Lucky dog. My roommate has a great story about how they had to stop 3 times on the way back from a Nebraska/Iowa State game because people got suck at different times from the Runza.nope!
True. But his name is booger, so he gets at least one pass a week.
He basically said he needs to see Miami face some adversity and play someone with equal talent. The FSU and GT games say hi, and FSU has better talent than us. It was just a weird statement to make. Like, we are a sham 5-0. But it's not because we haven't faced adversity.

Georgia Tech is a bit of a sham 5-0, though. Like, congrats, y'all are undefeated, but y'all are more stumbling into wins than anything. Y'all needed two last second comebacks to beat a Georgia Tech team you probably should've lost to, and we're evenly matched with an FSU squad that's season went out the window during the 4Q of its season opener.
This is a successful season for y'all, but y'all are gonna end with a couple of losses, and probably shouldn't be in anyone's playoff projections are anything. I'd say you're about where you should be.
