Sloppy offensive line play, an inability to stop the run and no downfield passing game.

Previously seen as one of the best in the ACC and a team good enough to take the next step after last season’s narrow playoff miss, the Seminoles are clearly not as good as advertised.

That’s a concern for a team that will play Memphis, Clemson, Miami, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Florida.

Anyway, this highlights with an exclamation point WHY I gave up throwing dice on early season games in ANY sports league.  Must see how they play, how the new players and coaches mesh, and their new schemes (if any) as well as how effectively the lines adjust to the team performances ........ and over a few games at least!

Huge DD fav SMU -27.5 damn near lost the game outright, and probably should have.

I like North Carolina. 1)Minnesota has a running back out and one not 100%. 2) Minnesota's Quarterback in a new offense coming from FCS 3). North Carolina has revamped their defense from last year 4). North Carolina pretty much man-handled Minnesota last year, see the same this year even though using 2 QB system for first game.peace_5 Good Luck clover

@pjlvio

Of course Tar Heels had the veteran Drake Maye last year and he's a difference maker facing any opponent.

But I like your first 3 points and will watch this one with interest.

@fubah2

 Yes I know Maye left but the second guy is a 5 year starter and knows the system, plus the new guy. Let's see what happens.

Boy Sanders didn't bring enough in on the defense side. Watching the game no defense either team.

Buffaloes  vs  Bison  reallyhappy

 

Looking like a track meet.   The under on this one looks like toast already.

 

For those who don't follow FCS, North Dakota State is a power!

Well I will say this Minnesota's QB does not impress me. Needs some work, playing with the big boys now. This isn't the FCS.

Tough break for the Tar Heels. Minnesota Lucky they knocked Johnson out. With him in the game would not have even been close. UNC still pulled it off.

Watching the FAU @MSU game...

State is up 16 - 3 and in good position inside the 10 to score and go up 23 - 3 - which would be deserved and reflective of the team performances to that point.

Instead....EZ INT and huge run back....Couple plays later FAU scores on 4th and 1 from the 10 and now it is a just a 6 point game....not reflective of the performances.

SPARTANS QB is a teenager!

I think I still have underwear older than this kid!

 

He's very athletic, sure, but his passing needs a lot of work...

And then SPARTANS coach makes a bonehead decision on 4th and one  from the 10 in easy chipshot FGA range....he foolishly passes up the 2 score lead and gambles with a run up the middle....which of course is stopped in the backfield.

Coulda easily made it a 2 score game with 10 mins left......Instead, on this drive, FAU could take the lead...
