Staff selects Saturday's FSU home football opener against Boise State

The Florida State 2019 football season is everything but us. A hurricane tried to train but failed to derail the state of Noles and Boise. The question is, which horse will finish in front of: BSU Bronco Buster or Seminoles Renegade?

Let's start with a quick visual comparison. You know what Renegade looks like, included in the image of this story. It is a majestic and spotted Appaloosa. But let's get acquainted with our guests from Idaho, who, it turns out, is also a state.

Seminoles, Buster meeting:

Now, let's be fair, Buster looks like a big horse who likes to have fun, a guy in a horse costume. Just watch these chompers. The character of Matt Dillon, Pat Healy, of Mary has something to say would be seriously jealous. And they just wear the same terrible colors.

Apart from equine hygiene (and no, you can not ignore it), let's move on to the selection of our staff.

Juan Montalvo III:

Amateur meteorologist reside here. Remember when I cautiously noticed that weather conditions could have prevented this game from happening? Well, I was very happy to use my complete professional meteorological language that said absolutely nothing, including this non-declarative notice that we could see the game canceled due to weather conditions.

Among the Jacksonville residents involved in this meeting are FSU President and former President John Thrasher, FSU Trustee Ed Burr and Governor Ron DeSantis. And they corrected my obscure predictions.

Boise State will have the misfortune of playing in the gooey atmosphere of a late summer afternoon in Tallahassee. And it will not be easy for them.

FSU will see more than 80 games in its new Briles offensive en route to a difficult but difficult victory.

USF, 31-16

Lastnoleofkrypton:

I have chosen 9-3 in the season's prognoses and reach 9-3 means winning this game. Boise State begins with a successful start down the field on its first lap. A series of quick and easy throws to take advantage of a stab in the defense; similar to what UM did against UF with their freshman qb looking like a 7-0 lead. Everyone immediately thinks "we're going again".

It would be their most successful training of the evening at the FSU which beat Boise 34-13 the rest of the way for a 34-20 win in the first day.

Player of the Offensive Match: DJ Matthews (plus a punt return for a TD)

Defensive Player of the Match: Cory Durden

Evan Johnson:

I'm a little pessimistic about this game. I understand the reason for my optimism, but I remember last year. I think the offensive line will be better, but will it be enough to win this match? I have my doubts. In the end, for me, this game is based on the differences along the line. Boise State has a defensive end that should go to the first round. Maybe the state of Florida will line up a defensive end. Boise State is coming back pretty well from a line that ended up well with last season. Florida State … do not tell the offensive line of the FSU.

On the plus side, Boise State starts a real freshman at QB and has lost a decent amount of last year's offensive output. They also struggled against the pass last year, but with the majority of their second-tier opponents and the former Soviet Union probably unable to handle the run at the Boise State pass, I'm afraid James Blackman throws too much. The game was moved to Tallahassee and moved in the day, which makes things a bit harder for Boise State. I'm not sure FSU has enough talent in key positions to make it count. State Boise 28 – FSU 21

Trey Rowland:

This game reminds me of the legendary fight between Don Frye and Yoshihiro Takayama at Pride 21: Demolition. It was a brutal slugfest where both competitors mutilated themselves in unrecognizable pasta.

It was tight.

However, Frye survived Takayama, just as I think the depth and talent of FSU will help the Seminoles to use the Broncos.

FSU 27 – Boise 20

Matt Minnick:

Last week, I was inclined to a game that should end in the first 35 minutes, then the UFS slowly escaped to win something like a 26-17 win. But Dorian has made a complete wildcard now. Will Boise be able to handle the afternoon sun of North Florida? Will their bodies even be awake? Will it rain? Will there be more than 30,000 fans? Will FSU appear in front of the public, as in the first game of last season, and commit error on error?

I do not think anyone can even begin to answer most of these questions. But it may be like this episode of The simpsons where Monty Burns had so many diseases that moved his body to the point of canceling himself? Maybe the more things change, the more they stay the same?

FSU 26 – Boise 17

Austin DeWitt:

As some have pointed out, Boise has the advantage over offensive and defensive lines, which will likely pose Noles' problems. Of course, the Broncos have lost a quarter veteran to Brett Rypien and a ton of production from Alexander Mattinson, a 1400-yard machine, but every year the Broncos are extremely consistent. Bryan Harsin has continued this moment since his arrival.

There are also many questions about the Florida State offense, which we will not know the answers until Saturday afternoon. It's now Blackman's team, and that's what many of us have been waiting for for a while (hand up). His leadership is undeniable, but with a third offensive coordinator in as many years, how is he going to get out? Can we keep it up? Can the race be placed behind this offensive line?

That said, I think we have talent and that confidence is slowly coming back in this team.

I'm not too confident, and especially after my prediction for the inaugural match last year (I really do not need to go back), I learned the error of my ways.

State of Florida 31 – State of Boise 21

Oline0175:

In short and to the point, FSU wins 30-21 in a botched game. There are too many circumstances to overcome for Boise. Akers, Harrison and Helton lead the attacking charge.

TimScribble:

Oh Boise! The season has finally arrived! With the midday move to Tallahassee, we no longer have to wait all day to find out if FSU will tear us up again or we'll be a pleasant surprise. On the one hand, the experience of Kendal Briles comes to town and there will be a lot of games. On the other hand, the offensive FSU line is still going on. Call me jaded but I think FSU starts the season with a defeat.

Potatoes – 27, FSU – 21

Perry Kostidakis:

Florida football has so impressed me that, one way or another, facing them in a de facto match has become a real match against a team deported by jet lag and infested with moisture. .

I am confident that the offensive will go from unassailable to tolerable, and the resulting lightening of the load will lighten the defense's ability to improve their ability to, really, #DoSomething. Will that be enough to beat a talented team from Boise State, even if it starts a first year and is in all its states in recent days? That should be the case, but I should also be about 5'10 "according to my doctor, so it's hard for me to accept anything.

I'll be leaning late in the 17-10 game before Florida State's defensive score bolsters the win.

Florida State 24, the other team that wears orange and blue 10

Jon Marchant:

I mean, I told the guys at Boise State that I had chosen FSU 24-20 just three days ago, so I'm going to stick to that. As for why? Well, what everyone said. FSU should be better, but how unknown is this, and for me, this game is a real kid's game. Boise State is still solid and difficult. They are introducing new coordinators and a real freshman from QB to Bachmeier. He will make mistakes. And yet, you can always count on them to be good. Can the FSU capitalize on self-inflicted errors? How far will the offensive line be better? Once again, I do not know. This game can fall on luck. After last season, the former FSU is due.

FrankDNole:

Is this the football season?

I do not know what to expect from the Noles, but I think we have more talent than ever. The players of the former Soviet Union will want more than the players they are aligned with. They will play with more heart, more each time. The FSU player will give at least 110% effort, and these important factors will elevate and elevate our team to victory over its opponent of the week.

FSU 34 – BSU 21

David Visser:

Here is the question that is posed: Can an FSU be more explosive in offensive than Boise State can be effective? I answer that with a company that I have no idea, but that's where the match will be decided.

The Seminoles should have a good defense, but they will have to play football as they should and not try to do too much after a disastrous 2018 season that has asked too much. I think they have the depth and support needed to do it, especially against a frank QB.

In attack, the State of Florida must hide its failings by dictating a vertiginous tempo, that is to say, to play football intelligently, which will allow the Noles to use the conditions to their favor. It will not be easy against Bronco's strong defense, but I think FSU has enough playmakers to make a difference. If she is not ahead of the chains, she must at least respect her schedule. It may not always be good (remember this line for just about every other FSU game this season), but I think the Seminoles have enough talent to beat the Broncos.

State of Boise 24, Florida 27

Finally, being from western Michigan, I just wanted to add that the only Bronco Buster I officially recognized is the one that represents WMU. Mainly because he's the equivalent mascot of Slater's Stunned and confused.

I mean come on. The stoned eyes, the tilt of the head, the palette of colors – even if I completely destroyed this pick, it's great.
