Football:
It is not often that a film summary is shown after a defeat, but Mike Norvell’s words in the dressing room after Dublin had taken ownership of the result and the preparations that had led to it were apt:
Georgia Tech’s schedule was excellent and I’m not sure other schools can repeat it:
Forget about the spread coverage; FSU fans would be happy with that result on Monday night.
Florida State is coming off a shocking loss to Georgia Tech in Week 0, and Boston College is pushing for a fresh start with new coach Bill O’Brien. The Seminoles should have more opportunities to play up front in this game with DJ Uiagalelei, especially with Hykeem Williams returning. That spread looks high considering the Eagles lost 31-29 last season, in a game where quarterback Thomas Castellanos had 305 passing yards and 95 rushing yards. The Eagles will try to copy Georgia Tech, but the Seminoles will pull away in the fourth quarter.
Choose: Florida State wins 34-20 but can’t cover the difference.
I think Greg McElroy made a good point here: DJ’s strength is driving the ball down the field. FSU needs to allow him to do that if the rest of the offense is going to work well.

Coaches believe these four options could improve the transfer portal process.
“If you make the windows smaller, you’ll have just as many kids coming in,” he said. “They’ll just find out faster. It won’t drag on.”
However, there are also head coaches who would like to make the winter window even shorter.
“Fifteen days is enough in December,” said one Power Four head coach. “Would love seven days in the spring. … Would love to have just one (window), but 1) I’m not sure it will pass and 2) I’m afraid more will come in to test the market, which brings a whole other set of problems.”
