This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Florida State.
We look for Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State Seminoles to lay the hammer down on Saturday morning. Fisher actually scheduled scrimmages for 11:30 AM throughout the preseason, so there's no question that his team is already in a routine for this contest: "Everything we did was 11:30. Be up and have a pregame meal at 7:30 (a.m.) and everything else. That was part of it because I knew it would be something different," Fisher said. USF has seen better days, once a program that could slay the larger schools, the Bulls have lost seven straight vs. ranked teams, including 30-17 to Florida State in Tampa in 2012. FSU QB Everett Golson looked sharp in last week's 59-16 destruction of Texas State, throwing for 302 yards and four TD's, completing passes to nine different receivers. The Bulls turn to Quinton Flowers who will be making his third start, he looked pretty good in a 51-3 defeat of Florida A&M, throwing for 141 yards, rushing for 63 more, to go along with three total TD's. Ultimately though, we simply can't see SFU's defensive unit being able to slow down the FSU run attack, one player to keep your eyes on is Seminoles' RB Dalvin Cook who had 156 yards in the opener, including 122 in the first half (note that Cook has four straight 100-yard games and is averaging 6.5 YPC). Also note that from a trend based stand point, this play is about as strong as you could possibly ask for, as USF is just 4-5 ATS in its last nine non-conference games and 0-2 ATS the last two season vs. ACC opponents, while FSU is 4-2 ATS in its last six as a favorite in the 21.5 to 31 points range and 8-7 ATS in its last 15 in front of the home town crowd. The situation, the numbers and the trends do indeed point to the SEMINOLES as the savvy move in this contest.
