Disgraceful play by the VT linebacker faking an injury to slow down momentum
I knew ole Willy Taggert was a bad coach I just didn't think he was this bad. Florida State will be a 10 win team every year with their talent but won't be a serious contender with him at the helm.
I'd say 10 wins is a pipe dream for them at this point. No way they are beating Clemson or Notre Dame, and they'll almost certainly drop another one somewhere along the way. A lot went wrong for them last year, but I think the Francois injury was way over-played as the reason. He is not a good QB.

They got 3 tough games a year usually in Clemson, Miami and Florida so 10 wins should be obtainable most seasons. They'll always recruit top talent which should keep them near the top but Willy just won't get them over the hump to be a playoff contender. Which as a UCF fan is fine to me seeing them struggling, UF isn't back yet and Miami has some issues too. We can never compete with them recruiting wise but if we keep winning and they struggle it might close the gap.
Just speculation right now as to which way FSU is going to slide. I think they're right on the razor's edge of consistent playoff contender like a Clemson or Auburn, or a program that becomes the next Nebraska or Texas. Once you lose your spot at the table, it can be really hard to get it back.
After rampant attrition due to NFL Draft and guys like Mook Reynolds and Adonis Alexander being declared ineligible or being kicked off the team, the fact that a largely underclassman defense shut FSU like that is a big testament to the prowess of Bud Foster.
