I don't buy into that stuff.
Seems like the kind of thing that Jim "I don't publish depth charts" Harbaugh would do. I mean, he's not there, but who did Moore learn under?

That said, I still only think there's maybe 10% chance this actually was the strategy. I'm just trying to fill @Mdot21 with false hope so when Davis Warren goes out there to start the game next week he's primed for epic rants.

I can't image why any kid would want to play for Brian Kelly.

Guy is just atrocious.
He's lost 3 straight openers,LSU could have saved alot of money and kept Orgeron if all they wanted to do was lose season openers

No ranting. I’m resigned to the fact that they just don’t have a QB and it’s gonna be a rough season because of it.

this. It doesn’t even make sense if you think about it. you only get good at running your offense by: running your offense in the games.

practice is all fine and dandy but in reality like Allen Iverson said, it is meaningless. All that matters is what you do on game day. That’s it. Seen it one too many times, such and such player was incredible in practice but when the bright lights shine on the big stage in the actual game they suck. Can’t simulate a game.

FSU might be a little overrated...

might be?

Pete Thameltoe told me FSU had the best DL eVaR on GameDay (anyone who actually knows CFB knew that was a joke and that DL wasn't even top 10 let alone the very best) in that Ireland kickoff classic. Hours later that DL proceeded to get blown off the line of scrimmage by Georgia Tech give up 200 yards rushing and they lost the game. That was when it was official and not a maybe.

This is why I am glad I don’t chase sports betting. 🎰

I would’ve no doubt put heavy money on FSU beating the over. Would’ve thought that after getting embarrassed on national TV by a typically middling conference opponent, FSU would’ve taken the chance at home again on National TV to really take it to another typically middling conference opponent. With the added benefit of having the experience of already getting their feet wet this season. But no…down 14-0 Vs Boston College and getting cleaned up all along the Lines again.

Uh, that was intended as sarcasm because it's so obvious.

Always fun when you lay a turd at home on national TV.  
Dammit.

At least FSU looks worse.  GT is supposed to be mediocre and BC is supposed to be very bad.

On OSU's QB situation:

OSU fans shit on McCord with a 160 pass rating and bring in a guy with a 140 rating from KSU.  Prepare to be underwhelmed.

You are extremely correct not to do that.
