Re: FSU: The Rebuild and "the Return" (NCAA 2019 Dynasty)
OH...MY..GOD..WHAT.A.FINISH!!
GAME RECAP
Spoiler
FLORIDA STATE PULLS OUT A MIRACLE
Wow. What. A. Game. This has to possibly be the biggest miracle I’ve experienced in a long time. FSU did the impossible. After giving up a late Field Goal with 14 seconds left in the game. A pass interference call that brought back an interception that would have ended the game gave the Noles one last shot at a miracle. And boy did they ever. Sarderrious Minter threw a 50 yard game winning touchdown to Jamar Reid for the eventual game winner. What a turn of events. The Noles were looking at going 1-3 in ACC play and 2-3 overall. But with that miracle play, the Noles are 3-2 Overall and 2-2 in the ACC and still lead the Atlantic Division and control their own destiny.
The Noles played probably their best game of the year vs an extremely talented team. The Noles Defense finally stepped up to the plate and consistently made plays. They gave up a couple of chunk plays that led to scores, but nothing like we saw in the previous weeks. However the Defense almost let them down by giving up a long pass that lead to a probably game winning Field Goal with 14 seconds to go. The defense gave up another rushing week of over 200 yards rushing, but 2 of those runs were for long busted runs. Other than those two runs the Noles contained the run game. But the Noles did something they failed to do the past few weeks, and that’s find a way to win.
The Good
Freshman QB Sarderrious Minter continues to impress. He’s putting up Heisman like numbers. And after today he definitely should be in consideration. He threw for 435 yards, and ran for another 137. He is clearly the life of this Seminole offense. And his Freshman WR counterpart Jamar Reid isn’t far behind with a 5 catch 145 yard performance.
On Defense, Sophomore CB Detaro Levine has stepped up his game and has become a dominant shut-down cornerback. He plays the run exceptionally well for a Corner, and has really turned up his game as a defender vs the pass.
Freshman CB J.D. Davis who moved to the Ace (Strong Safety) position in favor of veteran Kyle Moore to give the Noles more athleticsm and coverage ability started his first game today and showed plenty of Flash. He played the majority of the game last week and finished with 7 tackles and the Noles rewarded him with his first start this week. He finished with 8 tackles and 2 PBUs at that position.
The Bad
FSU still has to stop big plays in the clutch. FSU did a good job for the majority of the game in limiting an explosive Baylor team from chunk plays. But when FSU needed a stop the most, they gave up the big play. The Noles once again gave up another 200 yard rushing performance and gave up 319 in the air. They found a way to win, but consistency is key this season.
The offensive line still cannot muster a run game. Kartrelle Gaither only had 42 yards on 14 carries, while backup Zaleel Hamby had 4 yards on 2 carries. 16 carries for 44 yards will not cut it if FSU wants to hang on to the Conference Division lead for long.
