Awful performance by the FSU defense at Clemson on Saturday. The running game sort of got going, and Trickett played really well (minus the one INT). He actually had the best rookie start at FSU since Danny Kannell in 1993. He had pocket presence and dropped the ball deep. I have no problem with him. With that offence, we should have won the game.
But the defense, they were just horrid. They were basically useless until the 2nd half. I mean, they held Oklahoma to 23 points, including numerous goal-line stands. But they let Clemson get away with 35? That's pathetic. Two weeks in a row, I feel like the Seminoles beat themselves by allowing massive penalties at the most crucial moments in the game. Get rid of those moronic mistakes, and Clemson wouldn't have scored on two of those drives.
The injured players certainly didn't help, but the game was winnable without them (even EJ). Noles D need to get it straight, and stop fucking up. They're too keyed up, and are making stupid mistakes as a result.
Thank god we have a bye this week. I'm sure Jimbo will use the opportunity to straighten everybody the hell out.
P.S. Please choke Clemson. Please.
