No biggie but “State” in the ACC is NCSU. FSU is … FSU. Anyway, wreck ‘em, Tech!

FSU looks impressive on offense...but is getting handled on the LOS.

Things that stand out:

- neither team attempts many passes down the field, and they haven't hit one yet. Their QBs are not able to drop back and run a passing offense, these are both modern versions of the option offense. It is a limitation for each team that is going to cost them a game at some point this season. I get it that DJ is in a new offense and the WR are new, but almost every pass is behind the line of scrimmage. These types of offenses should be a great matchup against our defense and our deep defensive line.

- The QBs are huge, and built to take a hit. Preston and KJ are much smaller and will need to limit scrambling opportunities. They can't take these types of hits. I know we want to run RPO, but the QB run off the zone read can't be a big player this year with the size of these lines. Luster is really the guy with the body type to be able to absorb these hits.

Not going to lie, I expected more out of the Noles to start the year.

Still 14-14.

There is a reason DJ Uiagalelei lost the starting job at Clemson. He's not a very accurate passer and doesn't appear to have improved significantly from what I saw when he was there. 1st games can get ugly at times and it's really tough to open the season in a really competitive game which this one clearly is.
