Supposedly, they’re gonna be better than FSU’s defense… Anybody know anything about how good they’re gonna be on paper??

Would still give FSU the nod. VT should be a Top 10 group though if they can avoid injuries unlike last year even without Hosley. 8 or 9 starters back, super front seven.

In order to be exceptional of defense, you have to have a pretty efficient offense. At least one that doesn’t turn it over. With that in mind, I’m not sold at all on FSU’s offense or QB. He’s a turnover waiting to happen.

Since both play in the ACC, the league itself isn’t very good, but it does have some average to better than average QB’s. I think with all things even, I’d take VT’s defense over FSU’s as far as production goes simply because Logan Thomas and VT’s offense won’t turn it over nearly as much as FSU’s is likely to.

FSU lost 19 turnovers last year and VT lost 18. Research can be your friend.

how many of each of those were to clemson, our turnover margin was one of the best in the country most of the year, then price went out and boyd got skiddish

There is no doubt that FSU has the ACC’s best defense on paper.

This isn’t valid… FSU’s QB doesn’t turn the ball over too much.

So VTs stats should be discounted…
But somehow WVU isnt judged by its competition? Cuts both ways…
