Botom Line to keep it close is - 0 TURNOVERS!

We arent playing Auburn. We fumbled it 3-4 times last week and recovered all but 1. Against FSU, we probably lose all 3 or 4 and 1 would have been taken back for a score.

No turnovers, and somehow someway Gailey need to figure out how to get the ball in the hands of our other palymaker- Freddie. He was shut down against Auburn, who has great Cornerbacks like FSU. They can play Freddie 1 on 1. He has moves but not the speed to go long so we need some new plays to get him open. We dont have good speed on offense with our fastest player L. Bridges gone, so I would love to see a surprise or 2, like Kenny Scott on O. Something not expected. We'll see, but #1- NO TURNOVERS or my prediction comes true, 40-6. Of course I picked the score assuming 3 turnovers.

This is so important not just for today but for the long term success of the program. Turnovers, penalties, all costly mistakes have to be addressed effectively and minimized and minimized some more. That's why discipline is so important. To learn a way of performing that is consistent and efficient. A way that may not be pretty but has a greater, proven success ratio. Learn to run the basics well and then build on that foundation. Chan & Co. have to be teaching fundamentals or TECH may fumble away it's chances. I beelieve I see that happening slowly but surely.

GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As i have been listening real closely..I havent heard Gailey making ANY excuses...In fact as all kinds of people keep bringing up the fact (THAT IS A PLAIN SIMPLE FACT THAT ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD CONCLUDE)we are so SHORT on players.(due to flunkgate).Gailey has ALWAYS remained positive..Quote"Im worried about the players that are here and not the ones that are not here" I heard nothing but Positive comments by him and always real positive about our future...I would say IMHO.. BUT that is not just my opinion..many REASONABLE OBJECTIVE People have commented how he has handled all this adversity with CLASS...No..Wo is me.. from Coach Gailey....

Yeah..I watched the 2000 FSU game and brought back my memory of how many times i got irratated in crucial comes under the prior Head Coach that a costly mistake or penalty killed us....Especially with our very young team this year..you will have some mistakes..that is part of life..I noticed our Left Tackle still goes on a false start some (Saw it in the Auburn Game)He always has had that bad habit...although not as much as in the past under BOTH The past head coach and the current one!!!!!!!!!!
