Florida State faces what may be the best defense they’ve played so far in 2022 on a road trip to Raleigh to face NC State. But the Wolfpack have also struggled offensively, so the game projects as a close, low scoring affair. Buy my book!...

Did Wake Forest start coasting after going up 21 points in the third quarter? Did Florida State make lots of defensive adjustments? What happened against Wake Forest on offense? Why did Wake Forest seem to know certain plays before FSU ran them? All this and...

It was a good matchup for the Seminoles, and the defense mostly did its part minus some losses in key situations. But the FSU offense just couldn’t get out of its own way as Wake Forest outmaneuvered the Noles’ offense through the first half, building...

Florida State hosts Wake Forest in a matchup that favors the Seminoles more than it might initially appear. Buy my book! The Idea of Israel in Second Temple Judaism, is available through Amazon, Cambridge University Press, BookShop.org, or wherever you buy your books. I would...

Florida State dominated a Power 5 opponent in a way that it hasn’t since 2016, and the LSU and Louisville wins are looking better after today’s results. It’s starting to look like this Seminole team might actually be pretty good. Buy my book! The Idea...

Florida State faces a reeling Boston College team that has one of the worst offensive lines in recent Power 5 history. It might be even worse than the 2018 FSU offensive line, and ‘Nole fans know how hard it is to have success with that...

Florida State managed to scratch and claw and scheme their way to 3-0, but the injuries sustained in the contest may be disastrous for the rest of the Seminoles’ season. Announcement: My first book, The Idea of Israel in Second Temple Judaism, is available through...

Turns out it was indeed a coin flip game. But the ‘Noles came out on top and are now 2-0 for the first time since 2016. And they did it with a win over a fellow blue-blood program, despite trying to shoot themselves in the...

Week 1 is always filled with question marks, and this year’s matchup between LSU and Florida State has even more than usual. How will the transfers vs. transfers matchup between the FSU receivers and LSU defensive backs go? How quickly will Brian Kelly and his...

Week 0 is in the books, and Florida State took care of business, racing out to a 20-0 start in the first quarter and then methodically pounding their way to over 400 rushing yards and a victory. Defensively, they held the Dukes to 164 total...

What should be expected from this year’s Florida State team against a tough slate of opponents? Maybe a little more than some expect. Based on my evaluations of FSU and the opponents on the schedule, I see the Noles’ most likely record as 8-4 as...
