FSU is simply better than us. Jimbo has outrecruited UF for years and has built up more big time players on both sides of the ball than we have. I don't think he's that great of a coach, either, but it's all about players and he has more elite players than us and it's not even close. I like McElwain and think he took over a program in shambles, particularly offense and special teams. Special teams are already fixed. He simply has to start getting more game changing-type players on offense and find a QB who can play at a Top 10 level. Our O-line is average, but gets pushed around by Top 20 teams. Receivers can't get open and the defense gets worn down by being on the field too much. And the playcalling hardly gives us a chance. No imagination or creativity. Alabama is going to put a beatdown on us. But at least we'll be there, unlike Tennessee & Georgia. Remember, we were picked 3rd in the East 2 years in a row and McElwain got us to Atlanta both seasons. He's building and needs a couple more years to get his guys in the program. I do hope he finds a new OC, but considering all the injuries this team has had, I'm proud of how hard they keep playing.
Very solid analysis.
