Off day for FSU, great day for GT
Georgia Tech was better than advertised, firing on all cylinders, and Florida State played pretty flatly for the whole game. They really turned their program around, having to take years to re-tool the roster to a conventional offense, as opposed to Paul Johnson's triple option, and it cost Geoff Collins his job.
FSU probably wins that game 2 out of every 3 times, but unfortunately for them, the Yellowjackets were there on the third time. Maybe that's the slap in the face they need to wake up.
Despite the significant exodus of players last year, FSU still has a talented roster, and Mike Norvell has proven that he's a winner. Despite the fecal matter they laid on the field, I wouldn't underestimate FSU, and would think that they'll still have a decent season.
I see this situation as something similar to what we went through in 1995, where that blip against Northwestern at the beginning of the year was a huge embarrassment, until everyone realized how good (and lucky) that Northwestern team really was.
