I was as shocked and dismayed as anyone watching the Duke game and Q1 of the CSU game. The first 2 weeks of the season have been a bit sobering, and we are not where I thought we would be after 2 games.
That being said, our Tigers can flip college football on its head over the course of the next 2 weeks. We should beat FAU handily, but how we win that game is important. The Tigers need to take a big step in the right direction, especially the leaders of our offense. Our best players on the offense need to execute and eliminate the mistakes that have plagued the first 2 games.
Against FSU, our Tigers need to play up to their ability, execute the game plan, and eliminate mistakes. As important as all that is going to be to beat FSU, we as fans need to do our part. It has been a long time since The Valley was really rocking. It has been a long time since the fans had to bring the energy in a HUGE game with a lot of implications. Who cares if it is a noon kickoff? We as fans need to bring it and help our team. There are going to be a ton of recruits at this game and The Valley needs to make an impression. Win or lose future recruits need to walk away impressed with the game day experience.
Beat FSU and our Tigers can change the trajectory of this season and build a lot of confidence going into the rest of the season. Beat FSU and every goal except winning the opener is back in play. Beat FSU and fools like Finebaum will have to think for a change before they talk about Clemson.
