If FSU beats Oregon

It'll be because of Dalvin Cook. The Hurricane faithful were all VERY disappointed on missing out him last year (he's a Miami kid), and the Hurricanes recruit an elite RB every year even when they're asleep. They got Yearby instead, who may turn out to be great, but everyone down there who knows HS football knew what Cook brings to the table.
The kid is fucking ridiculous. he's about 6'0, so watching him run with speed and cutting ability makes you think he's a smaller dude, but he's got power to go with the athleticism.
Now that Florida State has figured out its offensive line issues, whatever they were, and they have this kid going, that will be Oregon's undoing unless they play like they did against Arizona.
If the Oregon D who showed up against Cal and WSU shows up, it's a route. If the one that showed up against UCLA, UW, Arizona 2, OSU, etc., then it's a game.

I think it's a high scoring entertaining game. More entertaining for me if FSU wins but still

one big diff for FSU, which has shown up all year long, is how much they miss Benjamin. I'm sorry man ... when you have a strong kid who is 6'5", can run, jump, and has good hands, that is a fucking handful for college defenses to deal with. they miss him big time, and I think w/ Oregon's corners, it's not going to be Greene and the other true wideouts that beat Oregon. It's going to be Cook and O'Leary, IF, and this is a big IF, Winston is smart enough to let it be those guys.RaceBannon said:I think it's a high scoring entertaining game.

I don't t think squinty winty beats Oreong in a shootout with Mariota. if he's patient, takes what Oregon gives him, etc., then I think they have a good shot.
If he turns it over like he's been turning it over, it will be a long night for the Noles.
I think Oregon's been conservative with Mariota running the ball in order to save him a full season for the Heisman and to save him for a run at the title.
I think the gloves come off now and he'll be taking off a lot more, and we all know he can kill on the ground. -
So it's not a high scoring entertaining game? Georgia Tech ran all night and FSU ran and dinked and it was still high scoring and entertainingcreepycoug said:

Baby Bear will have a good night and Oregon corners are like everyone's, handcuffed by the rules.
29 straight is 29 straight. The best team Oregon has seen. I think it's a toss up -
could be a shoot out and high scoring. I don't know. I just think if I'm playing the odds and I'm FSU, I'd rather cram it down Oregon's throat all night and keep their O off the field. I think if they go back and forth with scores, that plays into Oregon's hands because I think they're better at that and I think Jameis' confidence exceeds his abilities at times and is thus prone to mistakes.RaceBannon said:

That's just what I'm hearing. Don't go twisting. -
Cook 155att 905yds 8 touchdowns
Freeman 230att 1299yds 16 touchdowns
Seems to me to be about equal minus the hype. -
Cook is awesome to watch, O'Leary is a great TE. But whenever FSU needs a play or a big catch Jameis looks to Rashad Greene.
Still.... Oregon by 14+ sadly -
Oregon's offense schematically is also a huge mismatch to FSU's defense. FSU is large upfront and on the edges, but aren't very fast. Just like GT, Oregon should be able to outflank the FSU line rather easily. The biggest key is if FSU's defensive backs will be able to stay disciplined and tackle in space. I think the opposite, if the Oregon D that played in the Conference Championship shows up in the Rose Bowl, it will be an Oregon route. If they don't then I see a close game, which most certaintly favors FSU.

Probably. I also think the Mich. State team they took to the woodshed in the second half is in that same zip code. You made much of Ohio State beating them, and we now see that THAT Ohio State team is for real, and we both know that shit happens in conference play.RaceBannon said:

An FSU/Michigan State game would not be a game I'd want to lay down a lot of $$ on, and Oregon handled them once they discovered Freeman, and their D, surprisingly, was up to the task.
I had Michigan State in a route in that game, and after it, my view of Oregon changed quite a bit. -
I was trolling at that time but I was on Ohio State early. Glad to see they made it.
What Oregon did to Michigan State is meaningless at this point.
It's going to be a close game
Cook it
