NEBRASKA ANALYSIS
Everything witnessed in a lost last week that gave great hope for the future was lost in a dismal effort against Troy on Saturday resulting in a home loss. Nebraska had to start Andrew Bunch, a 3rd string quarterback, and while Bunch was surprisingly pedestrian, the loss is not to be pinned on him. Ball control continues to be an issue, and the offensive line was ineffective. Nebraska's special teams are anything but special. It seems Nebraska is pretty good at losing, part of the culture that Scott Frost is working so hard to change. The good news is that signs of progress are visible, and once the tide shifts, good things are immediately in store, If Adrian Martinez is healthy and ready to go, we might see it Saturday at Michigan.
FLORIDA STATE ANALYSIS
You would be hard pressed to find a more pitiful performance than the one turned in by the once proud Seminoles at Syracuse on Saturday. Syracuse has a good quarterback, but he got knocked out in the second quarter, leaving the second string signal caller to direct the ass kicking which took place. FSU's offensive line is atrocious, lacking any kind of performing depth, thanks to the lackadaisical performance of former coach Jumbo Fisher and his bravado offensive line coach Rick Trickett. Thanks for nothing. Sadly, new coach Willie Taggart is so entrenched in his offensive mindset, he is not calling any plays to utilize areas of talent FSU does have to alleviate the pressure of the porous offensive line. With zeroes on the scoreboard, you might think he would recognize a tendency or two might need to be broken, but he does not see it. The players are beginning to become alarmed at the mind boggling ineptitude of the offense. The defense is battling, but becomes gassed, and falters. The Seminole faithful are in enraged, and the relationships are deteriorating quickly. Taggart needs to make offensive adjustments immediately, which should certainly include allowing snaps for backup quarterback James Blackman, who is a better runner than Deondre Francois and can roll out taking some pressure off the failing offensive line. If this keeps up, there is going to be a civil war between the Seminole fans and the administration/coaching staff. #Do Something, and fix it.
