Game Thread: Friday 9/26/25 games

Unfortunately, we will hear about it for the rest of the season.

Of course we will AND we SHOULD!!!!

Some of Coach Bryant’s best teams dropped weird games early in the season, during the 1970s.

That said, a road game against a decent team on a Friday night just about the worst spot you can be in.

did you guys know that this fsu team beat Alabama in the first game this year?

I think I heard Alabama , who is not playing in this game, had 32 rushing yards on 17 carries after the first drive. Lowest total for a season opener since 1986. I wonder why those stats are pertinent to a game they aren’t even playing in.

I feel like Virginia is going to win this game 49-42

 

[Cruloc]

just flush that game. Explain it however you want, they weren’t ready to play. Maybe that is the game they needed to get their head on straight. Unfortunately, we will hear about it for the rest of the season.

They went out there on that first drive vs FSU ready to play and showed it. Then FSU smacked them in the mouth and their knees buckled, they never recovered. Hopefully they respond to adversity in Athens better than they did in Tallahassee.

UVA scores another TD!


#8 FSU 21
Virginia 28
3Q 3:45

Virginia is going to win this game....they will rush the field because FSU is where they are because we wet the bed. So Virginia can thank Bama for their goal posts getting torn down.

If it was a one off I'd be able to. But I also happened to watch the Oklahoma and Michigan game last year. It's become a pattern.

The QB played terrible with multiple turnovers in each of those game. I think that has been corrected. We will see.

You can be sure Kirby is going to try to find out if "we are man enough" early.

Classic Gus circus play for the TD

 

[Bamabuzzard]

This game really isn't helping our cause. Unranked UVA giving FSU all they want yet they dominated us.

That's the downside to having a weak running game, you force yourself into putting the game in the QBs hands. Which as far as I can tell has not been corrected. Haynes ran all over Oklahoma this year, got 3 carries against them last year.

Not trying to argue though, I hope FSU pulls this out and Alabama beats Georgia tomorrow. Just not feeling great, wasn't feeling great after being at the Wisconsin game either. Just doesn't look like a complete team.

But, they play the games for a reason.

They didn’t play that well on the first drive, it took 17 plays and a 4th down conversion. FSU started out expecting a pass happy Alabama offense and didn’t get it. They were surprised but adjusted. Bama ran out of scripted plays .

Can’t believe we laid such a big fat egg when we played these chumps.

Haynes didn’t run all over OU. The first play from scrimmage to open the second half went for 75, other than that he carried 18 times for 50 yards or less than 3 yards per carry. He struggled all game outside of the one carry.

 

[BamaNation]

FSU tied it up at end of 3Q

uVA just went on 4th down at misfield and converted. now on FSU 25

 

[BamaNation]

And just converted another 4th down

 

[Special K]

Norvell starting to get that look on his face he had all season last year.

 

[bamaga]

Tony Elliot is a good coach. He and Venables made Dabo a national champion.
