"Transfer Titans": FSU takes On Sooners in Cheez-It Bowl, & Transfer Portal Targets with Amari Gainer & other departing Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave touch on the ‘Noles bowl matchup against Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl, and examine the newly-announced transfer portal losses and potential spots for incoming transfers.

First, Drake and Dave discuss Florida State’s bowl matchup in Orlando against a disappointing and vulnerable Oklahoma team, including the allure of playing a blue blood, SEC-bound Sooners squad, and why this is such an appealing matchup for FSU and its fans.

Next, the guys discuss the recent announcement of certain Seminoles entering the transfer portal, namely Amari Gainer and reserve defensive linemen Shambre Jackson and Jarrett Jackson, and explain why these losses may actually be a good thing for Florida State in 2023.

Finally, they continue the transfer portal chatter, identifying the biggest areas of need for FSU in the transfer portal, and posit that this year’s portal class could be exactly what is needed for Mike Norvell & Co. to take the next step on the climb for this program.

"Orange Crush(ed)": FSU Closes Out ACC Play as Trey Benson & Jordan Travis helm Dominant Showing Against Syracuse Orange Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favoriter daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave delight in yet another blowout victory, this time a 38-3 thrashing of Syracuse, as Florida State is playing at the highest level we’ve seen in several.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the incredible development and play of the FSU defense, which held Syracuse (which, surprisingly, was able to start QB Garrett Shrader) without an offensive touchdown and to just 160 total yards. A resurgent secondary, complimenting a finally healthy defensive line, as well as the emergence of youngsters, has Florida State playing the confident, dominant defense of Seminole past.

Next, the guys turn to the offensive side of the ball, where star QB Jordan Travis turned in yet another excellent and efficient performance consisting of 5 total TDs (3 passing, 1 rushing, and 1 receiving), but was perhaps overshadowed once again by yet another career-best rushing performance from RB Trey Benson, who averaged over 9 yards per carry en route to over 160 yards, and refused to be tackled. Some trickeration, and importantly getting 10+ receivers involved, led to a performance by the offense matching the dominance of the defense.

Finally, they discuss their general feelings about this Florida State team and coaching staff following their 7th win of the year (3rd in a row) and second consecutive conference blowout, with the ability to notch a 10-win season for the first time since 2016.

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"Sean Tucker Must Ride": Why FSU Must Stop Syracuse's Sean Tucker & rely on Lawrance Toafili/Trey Benson to Crush Orange Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

Looking for its third win in a row, your Florida State Seminoles travel to Syracuse and take on Dino Babers, and a struggling Syracuse Orange football team. Today, your friends here at Locked On Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast are here with another Gameday-day Walkthrough of the team.

AS always with The Walkthrough, Drake and Dave discuss what are they keys to victory here for the Seminoles and Mike Norvell. Offensively, how aggressive do they need to be on the ground? Can Norvell and Atkins take advantage of a supremely banged up Syracuse defense who started off hot, but is now struggling after missing pieces in their defensive unit?

While Syracuse's offense, when led by Garrett Shrader was humming, since he went down it has struggled to find it footing with UF transfer Carlos Del Rio-Wilson. Furthermore, Sean Tucker, many p[peoples pick as the best RB in the conference heading into the year and potentially a top 5 back in the country, has shown signs of severely slowing down. Let's see if Adam Fuller can continue this aggressive defensive approach he has had the past few weeks.

Unsung heroes, game predictions and more is what's in store for you from the Walkthrough and honestly, it will have you more than confident in the Seminoles heading into Saturday night.

As always, we here at Locked On Seminoles want to thank each and every single one of you for all the love and support. We hope you enjoy today's show and we will see y'all next time! Go Noles! Beat Cuse!

"Keep It Rolling": FSU v Syracuse Game Preview as Jordan Travis & Seminoles look to extend streak and stop Sean Tucker Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave preview the ‘Noles upcoming matchup against reeling Syracuse, including a stark contrast of the Orange’s massive injury issues and 3-game tailspin vs. Florida State’s healthy roster and massive rivalry win.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the massive injury issues to Syracuse’s offense, including QB Garrett Shrader (who haunted FSU with his legs last season) likely missing this game—and middling QB Carlos Del Rio taking his place—as well as star RB Sean Tucker seemingly banged up and struggling, and why this is so impactful in a matchup against Florida State.

Next, the guys examine the Syracuse defense, which started the season strong and has fallen off over the Orange’s 3-game skid, and will now be without excellent CB Garrett Williams, and how that defense is most vulnerable to a confident and multi-dimensional Seminoles offense.

Finally, they discuss the general feeling about this Florida State team heading into this matchup, and the potential implications of this Syracuse game as the season’s end draws near, including keeping a 10-win season alive, as well as recruiting, NFL draft, transfer portal, and other potential consequences.

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"The Aftermath": Effect FSU crushing UM Canes has on recruiting, fanbase & program outlook plus Remaining Schedule Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave continue to delight in the Seminoles’ embarrassment of the Miami Hurricanes in their rent-a-stadium a/k/a Doak South, discussing the implications of that big win and the remaining schedule in light of Florida State’s and its opponents’ recent play, as well as take on an intriguing listener question.

First, Drake and Dave explain why beating Miami so resoundingly is a boon for FSU recruiting, as well as a reassurance to the fanbase that Mike Norvell and Company clearly have this program trending in the right direction.

Next, the guys examine Florida State’s remaining three games against a Garrett Shrader-less Syracuse team that’s reeling after three consecutive losses, a middling Louisiana team coming off blowing a big lead against Troy, and a Florida team whose passing game and defense are competing for the title of most incompetent.

Finally, they take on an interesting listener question from Rynos as to what’s the most important victory for the Seminoles between Clemson, Miami, and Florida (you may be surprised by their answer).

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"Absolute Dominance": Trey Benson & FSU Defense Deliver Masterclass Performance against Mario Cristobal's Miami Hurricanes Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave relish in Florida State’s utter domination of a hapless and embarrassing Miami football team, and highlight the equally impressive play of the defense and the offense, as the Seminoles tie the largest margin of victory EVER in a road game in this rivalry, winning 45-3.

First, Drake and Dave take a victory lap, explaining just how bad that Miami team is (and how much worse they’ve gotten) under $8 million head coach Mario Cristobal, as the Hurricanes not only didn’t belong on the same field as Florida State, but moreover they acted like they didn’t even want or care to be there. Contrast that to a Seminoles squad that understood the importance of the rivalry and making a statement therein, as all phases of FSU (including backups) kept their foot on Miami’s throat for 4 full quarters.

Next, the guys gush over the play of the Florida State defense, with too many incredible individual and team efforts to list off in 30 minutes, including Jammie Robinson’s disrespectful TFL (the highlight of which will live on forever in this rivalry), Fabien Lovett’s uplifting presence for the defensive line and the defense as a whole, Tatum Bethune’s homecoming statement, Jared Verse thanking Miami for only adding to his soon-to-be NFL paycheck, youngsters such as Patrick Payton and AZ Thomas showing out, and plenty more.

Finally, they highlight the play of the offense, starting with a monstrous, Dalvin Cook-like performance in which he refused to be tackled by Miami’s indifferent and undisciplined defenders, as well as an impressive performance by Jordan Travis (who wasn’t asked and didn’t have to do much in this one), incredible catches by Pokie Wilson and Johnny Wilson, and last but certainly not least a statement game from Florida State’s offensive line giving JT13 all the time he needed and opening up running lanes for the Seminoles’ stable of running backs (which didn’t even need Treshaun Ward in this one).

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"No Holds Barred": Trey Rowland helps Breaking Down Cane's Struggles as FSU, Jordan Travis & Co. Prepare to Make Statement in Coral Gables Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite Florida State Seminoles daily sports podcast! Drake and Dave double down on Miami hate week, bringing in a special guest—the man, the myth, and the legend Trey Rowland, of 247 Sports and Xs and Noles—to take stock of the 2022 Florida State season and preview the ‘Noles upcoming game against middling Miami.

First, the guys discuss the state of the Seminoles program two-thirds of the way through the season, as Trey explains the team is currently on schedule to meet expectations and offers up what he needs to see over the final four games to say FSU met its potential this year (hint: it’s consistency).

Then, they ask and answer the golden question: how and why in the heck is this Miami team so utterly terrible under first year coach Mario Cristobal; as well as preview the upcoming matchup against Miami, including areas of concern for Florida State, deficiencies of the Hurricanes that can be exploited, the importance of getting RB Treshaun Ward back in the lineup, whether we should be concerned about the FSU OL’s matchup against the strength of Miami’s team (its DL), what to expect in the matchup, why this feels like such a particularly must-win game in this heated rivalry, and of course a prediction!

As always, you know Trey and the guys bring the heat for Miami hate week, so this is one fun episode you won’t want to miss!

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.
