Let's get started off. Florida State playing with the chip on their shoulder all season.
00:04
There's no question that this is going to be a very pivotal season as far as attitude for them.
00:10
They're going to want to show the college football world that not only should they have been in the college football playoff,
00:14
maybe that they would have won it, they're ranked 10th coming into the season.
00:17
They take on a Georgia Tech team that, once again, Bill, it feels like the Yellow Jackets,
00:22
once every like four years are good and then the other three, they're not very good.
00:26
Knowles, 11.5 point favorites, neutral site, total of 56.5,
00:31
so I guess we're not going to have a shortage of offense in this game, are we?
00:35
No, and there's a fascination, obviously, with Florida State and DJ Uyengilele.
00:42
Got it right. It takes many years of practice with that.
00:45
Coming over from Oregon State, coming over from Clemson, how does he look in this offense?
00:50
That's one piece of the puzzle.
00:52
Patrick Payton, the edge rusher on the other side for the Seminoles, really good player as well.
00:57
And you mentioned that chip on the shoulder after last year.
01:00
Playing a really good Georgia Tech team, though.
01:02
Hayes King led the ACC in touchdown passes last year.
01:05
They have a strong running game.
01:07
Their defense was terrible against the run, though, 128th.
01:10
So I think Florida State's going to test the running game early, let DJ Uyengilele settle in and go from there.
01:16
That spread, though, looks a little high to me,
01:19
knowing that Georgia Tech was 7-2 against the spread under Brent Key last year.
01:24
I don't know if they're an ACC championship contender,
01:26
but I think they can hang around while both these teams get their footing in a, let's just say, unfamiliar setting.
