The predictions: FSU to beat USF; Vols picked over Gators

in Sports/Top Headlines by

USF is the undefeated one. USF is the high-scoring one. USF is the one at home. But, really, does USF have a shot to beat No. 13 FSU? Oh, the Bulls have some talent, and as such, they have a puncher’s chance. But FSU has most of the highly-ranked recruits, and they have Dalvin Cook, and they’re in a fairly nasty mood after last week’s drubbing by Louisville. Odds are, it will be much like last year’s game. It will…

Florida State LB Matthew Thomas starting to live up to potential

in Sports by

No one on Florida State’s roster knows more about bouncing back after getting knocked down more than Matthew Thomas. For the first time in four years, the junior linebacker is living up to the potential many saw when he was recruited in 2013. Thomas leads the 13th-ranked Seminoles in tackles going into Saturday’s game at South Florida. Florida State (2-1) is trying to bounce back after a 43-point loss last Saturday at Louisville. Considering that during the past three-plus seasons…

A win over FSU would rank as USF’s biggest day ever

in Sports by

Back in its run as king-slayers, the USF football team had quite a few moments to savor. They beat Auburn, and it was wonderful. They beat Miami, and it was terrific. They beat Notre Dame, and it was sublime. They beat Louisville and West Virginia and Kansas and North Carolina. Back in the day, it was hardly a surprise if USF beat anyone on its schedule. But this would be the best one. Above all others, this would be the keeper. After all,…

FSU focuses on problems ahead vs USF

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The last time Florida State lost a game by 30-plus points, it had an entire offseason to get over it. The Seminoles don’t have that luxury this time. Just about 48 hours after the 63-20 beating at Louisville , coach Jimbo Fisher was trying to move past being shell shock and address the glaring problems as his 13th-ranked Seminoles prepare for Saturday’s game at South Florida. “Ranting and raving and yelling isn’t going to do anything right now,” Fisher said,…

FSU insists nothing is wrong with running back Dalvin Cook

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Everyone expected the running back to be one of the best in the nation. Everyone expected to see nothing of Dalvin Cook but heels and elbows. So far, the FSU running back has been ordinary. It is one of the staggering sights of the young college football season. A year ago, Cook was sensational. This year, he has not been. Through three games, Cook has only 288 yards rushing, and he’s scored only twice. Compare his average of 4.6 to the…

FSU hopes to take frustrations out on USF Bulls Saturday

in Sports by

The FSU Seminoles, beaten with their pride bruised, try to get well this week against USF. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher spoke Monday after his team was drubbed 63-20 by Louisville last week. IN particular, he praised defensive coordinator Charles Kelly. “You go back to work,” Fisher said. “Worrying about it ain’t going to change it. Going back to work, and knowing, trusting in yourself, trusting you know ball, how you do it. You have bad games, people question you all the…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Welcome to the first full day of fall, Florida style. Now maybe it will actually start to feel like a different season in say, about a month from now? Speaking of the weather, good luck to the student-athletes at USF and Florida State University who will be playing in the excessively hot and humid conditions at high noon on Saturday at Raymond James Stadium. Or should I say, good luck to the fans who will be sitting under that unforgiving…
