Good breakdowns on the run games for both sides of the ball. If this defense ends up being able to stop the run game in and game out, I think it will be the linebackers that are the difference compared to some of the previous seasons under Fuller and Shannon. I trust Papuchis alot more as the position coach versus his predecessor plus there's simply more talent in that group this year.

The talent there is the bigger difference. It’s a significantly more talented and deeper room than they’ve had there in a while.

Hey Doc. Wanted to quickly pick your brain on this. I'm guessing that the vast majority of Bama fans probably only know of or recognize maybe 3 or 4 guys on FSU's current roster (Castellanos, Roydell, Squirrel, and maybe Earl Little). If you could pick two guys - one from each side of the ball - that all Alabama fans would absolutely "know" after the game is over in order to give the Seminoles the best chance at pulling off the unlikely upset, who would choose? My choices would be James Williams and Ousmane Kromah. If Bama fans wake up this coming Sunday morning and know who these two guys are then I would like our chances at grabbing the win.

And if you want to wait and possibly consider pondering this during your Florida State / Alabama game preview episode that'll be fine too.
