how has FSU "slowly deteriorated" since joining the ACC?
they had two sub-par seasons (01 & 02)following three straight years of playing for the national title!
they joined the conference in '92 .... they played for two national titles in their first 6 years and 3 in their last five ....
if you're looking for reasons for FSU's recent "problems", look no further than:
-lost excellent assistant coaches in Chuck Amato and Mark Richt
-"replaced" Richt with Bobby's son ... and he's in WAY over his head
-recruiting classes have still featured a lot of talent, but they haven't been signing large enough classes and it's caught up to them over the last couple of years in terms of depth at certain positions
cracks me up how the resident reptiles around here are already writing the 'Noles off .... didn't hear two peeps out of them after losing to
OLE MISS
back to the topic, I wouldn't play this game --- just have no idea how they're going to react and the OL is very banged up and we've got some YOUNG kids without much experience stepping in .....
but if you like this game and are worried about the number, don't be ... history shows that the 'Noles should be a good play
FSU is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS last 3 times vs. UVA ... outscoring them by an average of 40-10
FSU is 10-1 SU and 8-3 ATS against UVA since joining the ACC
