FSU QB on Sat?

EJ practiced for the first time in 2 weeks today although it sounds like he is still in some pain. A couple other roster changes were made as well. True Fr. Rashad Greene who is the first Nole since Anquan Boldin to score a td in 4 straight games is now listed in starting rotation. Of course, our top 4 wrs are hurt.
 
I'd rather see Trickett. FSU was very one-dimensional against Clemson. I don't feel comfortable about our defense's ability to contain and bring down Manuel. At 6-5/245, he's bigger than almost every player on our defense.

Latest report is that Manuel will be available.

The word on Manuel is that he's error prone...but he killed us last year. With Manuel playing we have to spy at least 1 if not 2 LBs on him per play and will be limited in our blitz packages. he'll also force our DBs to cover longer...let's hope the 165 pounder plays instead.
 
Exactly. Even if Trickett is "better", he plays more to our relative strengths and allows us to go all out with the pass rush and mix up blitz packages.
 
Trickett is really 165? Damn that's small.
 
Trickett recently discovered he was allergic to gluten and that was hurting his ability to put on weight.
 
Our defense is going to bake him up some cookies on Saturday.

Yup. He was eating 4-5k cals a day this summer trying to gain weight and could not. Since he quit eating bread a month ago, he has actually been able to gain weight. Most of us would die to have that problem. HA!
 
our defense against manuel was embarrassing last year. he threw for ~300 yards iirc and maybe only 2 or 3 passes went more than 10 yards past the LOS. we just allowed them to dink and dunk with no adjustments the whole game.

Ponder started the game last year at DOAK and went 24-37, 243 2 TDS granted, EJ played in the 4th quarter and went 2-2 41yds and a late TD pass to Shaw.

Pretty sure you are thinking about when he came to W-S two years ago with Ponder out for rest of season.
 
Haulstead had a nice game last year at wr catching 2 td passes but he's probably out for season with post concussion symptoms.

It was just one haze of ugliness.

I think if we do get Trickett, our defense may break him and we end up seeing Manuel anyway.
 
I am terrified of this angry fsu team coming off of a bye week after two losses. They will be so amped up to beat the shit out of us.. I am more worried about our one sided offense going up against their defense... They are stupid fast and athletic. We will have to execute flawlessly to win and get a lot of turnovers..

We have done more with less before against solid fsu teams so who knows..

Anyone think we will see different formations by wake on offense to catch them off guard and change our overall scheme?

As crazy as this sounds, I woke up this morning and thought our best chance to WIN this game is to be patient.

As in run the damn ball with Harris/Pender/and Even give it to Bohanon and let him pound on them. 2, 3, 4 yards and keep pounding them. Eat some clock and then surprise them with Givens/Camp.

A shootout - I never like the Deacs in a shootout even though yesterday I was thinking a game in the high 30's.

Today, I say smack them straight in the mouth to neutralize their speed and be patient enough to appreciate short gains running it.
 
That would be nice, but our offense has trouble pounding the ball and eating clock. We've got to be aggressive and put up a ton of points on the board. If we try to grind it out, we'll be down 2 or 3 TDs after several 3 and outs.
