FSU receivers will garner more catches vs us. Why? Many of their drops this season have been due to either an anticipated hit or an actual hit. Our D will be so off the receiver in most plays, such intimidation will not figure in.

Our secondary is good. And you clearly didn’t watch FSUs game against JSU.
 
It’s probably a mark of progress not to be anyone’s worst loss. And anyways no one can ever take away our 30-0. It will forever live in Florida State infamy and Wake Forest lore.

Cue my story from our 30-0 victory in 2006 (told a time or two in the past). I was hopped up on morphine in the ER at game-time, awaiting surgery for a strangulated umbilical hernia. When a friend told me we were leading 20-0 at the half, I figured I was dying and she was just trying up cheer me up in my last moments.
 
Already rumblings of Prime Time being the next F$U coach.

Wake had the #66 ranked 2021 recruiting class.
Prime had the #55 ranked class. At Jackson State. Five 4-star players.

He’d immediately improve recruiting and I’m sure he could hire a great staff.

If he doesn't win the SWAC and the Celebration Bowl with that class next year, then he must be able to coach his way out of a paper bag. I would think that is an insanely good class for a SWAC team.
 
They play Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.

Easy to understand why kids want to play for him.

"Normally you just get paid to go to get beat, right?" Sanders said Monday during a conference call with Southwestern Athletic Conference media. "That's really the goal, right? Somebody pays you, your program makes more money than they normally will to go get your butt kicked.

"I don't believe in that."



"Normally when you play against a powerhouse like I see some of the HBCU schools have taken, it helps the budget, but it kills the morale," Sanders said. "How can getting your butt kicked, I mean really kicked, help you as a team? Financially, cool. All money ain't good money."



"We just want to go out there and execute, do what we're blessed to do," Sanders said. "Excel. We're going to find out who some players really are this week because you're going to have a real formidable opponent that we're supposed the lose by all accounts. We weren't supposed to be in this game, right? We get paid to get beat, right?"



"If they don't practice, they're not going to play, and if they don't perform well in practice, they're not going to start," Sanders said. "That's how we go about practicing. The thought process of building up to Saturday. Saturday starts today, man. It doesn't start on Saturday. It starts today."

He’s out there challenging some of the norms of HBCU football. He had some good quotes about putting names on the jerseys. He offered to pay for every team in the SWAC to do it.
 
There’s a great 6 episode show on Barstool Sports’ YouTube channel that follows Prime and JSU around last preseason and season. Really good insight on how he’s building their program, as well as building back the community of Jackson, Mississippi. It’s easy to see why kids want to play for him. Definitely recommend watching it.

Just watched the episode that comes up when you click that link. That was fantastic! Man, that food looked so good.

Saturday in Monroe. ULM has lost 12 straight games, tied for the second-longest losing streak in the nation, and Jackson State has emerged as one of the premier programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.


Deion picked a good game to start playing the underdog role.
 
Former Deac JaC'quez Williams will be playing for ULM in that one.
 
First game overall.
 
Watched Norvell's post-game presser. It was in the end zone on the field, not in the press room and it seemed all the reporters were FSU connected. He had the look and sound of a defeated man with no idea how to fix the problems on his team. I believe he has lost his team, if he ever had them.

Curious what you mean by "FSU connected"?

Sending that kid to fall down is more embarrassing than how badly they lost, including I am sure, to the Seminole Faithful

I saw that. Had no idea what they were doing.

Corey Clark, senior writer, and Ira Schoffel, managing editor of WarChant, asked a majority of the questions. Maybe that's what was meant by "FSU Connected".

He was trying to buy some time for the backup to get ready. The ref had escorted the injured starter off the field. An injured player is entitled to an uncharged timeout; the announcers did not explain this well. It did look a bit awkward.
