Do you think he even realizes what they were doing at Michigan to make him successful? I think it's highly likely he thinks he was "that good".

I am being honest when I answer, "No. I don't think it has crossed his mind".

The mindboggling part to me is still the NFL team that drafted him. How do you not see such obvious warning signs during film evaluation and in person workouts/interviews?

I missed whatever it was that originally hurt Tate.

Now I am seeing more and more that he's done? What happened?

You may be surprised.....it's actually gotten very big in Florida. There are public school teams importing a majority of the roster from surrounding areas.

scUM has been pretty bad at defending the dink and dunk this year. I know people want to see us roast them deep, but we probably can dink and dunk them to death this year. Just get the ball out quick and let the Receivers/RBs/TEs do the work.

I think Jackson as a receiver out of the backfield could actually be a huge X factor in this one.

I think if Tate is out and Smith plays, TTUN will play man and double Smith. Another receiver will need to step up, and of course a TE needs to get open.

Tate may be actually be done for good my friends. Which would suck.

Even if Marshall plays, he won't be 100%.

I am not sure to what degree Scum not having Bredeson really hurts them.

Very likely. Bigger con than Manziel, but he's too dumb to realize it was a con.

There is ZERO belief in Norvell.

FSU just blew their wad on stadium renovations and gave Norvell a MASSIVE extension after utilizing the Michigan "9th" year playbook on graduate transfers nationally. They'd owe him $57M in a buyout. They truly cannot afford it.

They had a one year window, similar to Michigan, and it blew up in their face when Jordan Travis's leg exploded....which did legitimately suck for them bc I think they had enough to beat Michigan with a healthy Travis in 2023.

But like Michigan imported a bunch of graduate transfer defensive and offensive lineman exploting "covid" loophole, it wasn't going to be sustainable when you don't develop your own talent, only import it.

There will eventually be downfield college selection impacts with this decision. Not against the ruling, just being honest about both sides of the coin.

JJ Leaf has me more interested in. the NFL than I've been since I was a kid. I want the cocky, cheating piece of shit to stay healthy too. That way, he'll have zero excuses for when his failure is complete.

screens!!! same shit they killed us with in the 90's

agreed but we can still kill them with throwing to the TE's bc Sayin is fantastic about getting to his 2nd and 3rd reads. thats what im going to keep telling myself......

There's no keeping LK if TSC has a realistic shot at being the backup. We'll have to find a QB3 in the portal.

LK deserves a chance to start somewhere.

Nowhere near as big an impact as our two WR's (possibly) being out imo.

They are going to run the ball no matter what with whoever they have to do it with.

Our single biggest advantage is gone if we don't have Smith and Tate. We will not be able to beat these guys trying to be balanced and winning the rushing contest.

Gotta have 4. Tate would be nice. 4 DEMANDS a double team. Completely changes your play calling options.

Innis can win in man if 4 plays. He's not called the best CFB Player for nothing.
