talk about Florida State Boston College before we do Florida State Boston College on Monday night will the seminal rebound this is a big spot I was on with Brian from Clemson football live earlier this week and he asked me what is the mood what's the mindset going into this game and what I told him was man it needs to be I don't know what it is but it needs to be desperation it needs to be we lose this game and our season is over which is Maybe how you should play every game in college football not so much with the 12 team playoff but that's maybe how you should do anything in life is if I don't get this done it's going to cost like maybe that should always be our mindset but all that aside this game for Florida State if they lose this game now of course is there a way that they could get into the conference Championship with two losses they could turn the season around yes you lose to BC I don't see how you beat SMU I don't see how you beat Clemson I don't see how you beat Miami I don't see how you beat Florida I don't see how you beat Notre Dame you're going to end up the season about six and six at best if you lose to BC there's a lot better teams than BC on this schedule and uh so it's got to be desperation Florida State cannot afford to lose this game the season will be over um and and and I don't think they're anywhere close to benching dju but you might as well just put in the young guys and get them ready for next year and man that is not going to be a good position for Florida State they're doing all this to to leave the conference and renovate the stadium and increase boosters and and support nil and all this stuff Florida State's got to win this game it's got to be desperation and I'm painting that picture of oh man what if they lose I don't think they necessarily do I think there's a reason they're a 17-point favorite here I know that castanos is a is a quarterback that a lot of people are concerned about are worried about he had a good game last year he had three touchdowns two in the air one on the ground had almost 300 allpurpose yards he was really good and uh Florida States got to contain him they've got to control him they've got to spy him I think they just you know Boston College watched that Georgia Tech game they saw Hayes King going off around the edge and don't think that they won't use who I think is a better athlete maybe not a better quarterback but don't think that they won't use casos as a better athlete to go out and uh and and show Florida State what's up you know I think that you absolutely should be concerned about casos but I do think that Florida State's now had nine days to prep for him and you played a quarterback that was similar to him in Georgia Tech so it's not like you're unfamiliar right neither one of these guys are a statue that's just going to sit in the pocket you somewhat know what's coming you also played him last year that helps a ton you obviously have film on him it's a new system for Boston College and though Boston College has other weapons I I don't mean to minimize anybody else that's out there playing it really to me comes down to stopping castanos they've got a really good tackle they've got some guys on the defense that I think are are are solid above average but not a great defense now I said that last week about Georgia Tech too so maybe I should you know be careful saying whose defense is good who isn't but uh Florida state was able to move the ball some last week you know they they scored on four of their possessions they got stopped on the other side of the 50 on a fourth down so they were moving the ball right five of of of their seven possessions and a couple ended ended poorly for sure but uh yeah I expect the NS to be able to move the ball here I expect him to play better offensively I think Mike norell call the game a little less timid than he did um last week at the end of the day you you brought in dju and you may not be super super confident in what his abilities are what he can do but man when Georgia Tech adjusted after that first drive and they were bringing seven eight guys down to the box man that's when you've got to start taking some shots you can't get to where DJ's thrown 14 passes in the first half against Boston College and his air yards are negative um when you're running those swing passes when you're doing the pop passes when you're running a screen those could be effective things don't don't get me wrong when you're doing that you're not forcing the other team to do anything but come downhill at a million miles an hour and stop you short Georgia Tech was very satisfied with Florida State just dumping the ball off having a swing pass screening here because they were just bringing guys to the ball and Florida State never adjusted or they adjusted too late and uh and it cost them right they they didn't make Georgia Tech ever get uncomfortable defensively outside of that first drive now that last Drive Florida State drove the ball down and DJ looked fairly good I you know he wasn't like a world beater or anything like that but looked fairly good converted a third and long converted a couple of fourth and Longs and maybe got his Mojo going a little bit maybe not not only got his Mojo going but got where Norvell could trust him they'll also be at home they'll be in much more familiar territory they'll have 50 plus 50 to 55 to 60 plus thousand screaming fans supporting them as opposed to they had the majority in Dublin but it was closer to maybe 25ish 30ish and so I think that'll help I think that being home being familiar having that game already played hey already being able to say here are our Awards here's what we need to fix but the other side of that is Boston College saw your Awards too so I expect them to try and play as much like Georgia Tech as they can now I don't think they have the athletes to be able to play like Georgia Tech did I don't think they're as good as Georgia Tech that's no slight to Boston College I'm not trying to upset any Eagle fans that are watching there's a path to Boston College winning this but I think Boston College needs to play Georgia Tech style of game and play it more effectively because I don't necessarily know that you're going to attack Florida State's secondary I think that is the the the part of the defense that I think is the strongest but I think you um you need to play like Georgia Tech did and probably do it more effectively than than Georgia Tech did uh ctios was good in the game against the nlls last year but I think he had 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season certainly at times uh struggled to protect the Ball odds would say that because he went three and0 against you last year in touchdowns interceptions he might give you a one or two this year he threw over one a game and again he had a couple of games with zero Florida State being one of them and so he certainly is prone to the big mistake and so we'll see if that can play a factor Florida State got no turnovers last week against Boston against Georgia Tech can they get a couple against BC that would help the score tremendously that would help alleviate some pressure Florida State needs to go out and get a lead and then get stops they did that last week they went out and got a lead and they even kept that lead for a while right they got a couple got a got got the lead they were up by one after Georgia Tech answered but then they got a stop they got stopped they went down and kick the field goal like they they kept the lead for a while um they just need to hold on to it and really be able to add to it more again a team that they're significantly better than again first game for Boston College second game for Florida State that should benefit the nlls a ton and I think they'll play overall better but again it needs to be desperation for the nulles if you enjoyed this preview we did an episode this morning where we
