"Doak South": First Look at FSU v Miami Hurricanes with Tyler Van Dyke & Jake Garcia Helming a Struggling Offense Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave continue Miami hate week and dig deeper into Florida State’s matchup against the hapless Hurricanes, offering reasons why FSU should win resoundingly in this matchup and the implications of doing so, and bringing back a special guest (yup, it’s Max!) to join in the fun!

First, the guys discuss big picture issues with Mario Cristobal’s Canes this season which are particularly exploitable in this matchup, including a putrid offense, first half scoring woes, and key defensive deficiencies, among many other things which revolved around the question: is there a massive regression around Tyler Van Dyke or is is the coaching and scheming of Josh Gattis and Mario Cristobal.

Next, they bring in a special guest that you know and love to discuss key statistical areas that Florida State should particularly look to exploit, including and especially explosiveness defense, which suits well an FSU offense that’s thrived on chunk plays. If Middle Tennessee State could do it, Jordan Travis then should just have an absolute field day against the Canes right?

Finally, they weigh the implications of a Florida State win against the Hurricanes, especially on the recruiting trail, and discuss why this is a virtually must-win (and perhaps must-big-win) matchup. Implications around recruiting, perception and optics among her fanbase, Norvell and company have a chance to step up to the plate and go yard against the University of Coral Gables.

"Listen Up": FSU Expectations & How Mike Norvell Can Keep Noles Trending Up with Sam Moore of Listen Up Podcast Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles Podcast! Drake and Dave bring in the man, the myth, the Twitter legend, Sam Moore of the Listen Up Podcast, to take the pulse of the 2022 Florida State football season and the Mike Norvell era.

They dive right into the Seminoles’ performance generally under Mike Norvell, the seemingly two-faced performance of Florida State in games 1 through 4 as compared to the last 3 games, and the difficulty and growth of the passing offense, before diving into the difficult questions—Why is it that Mike Norvell and this staff seem to be beyond criticism amongst the fanbase? Is the ‘Fire Adam Fuller’ rhetoric justified? How are the ‘Noles most likely to finish the 2022 campaign? Is Mike Norvell the guy, and if not yet, what does he have to do to prove he IS the guy to bring FSU back to glory? What needs to change in the off-season to feel confident heading into next year?

As always, Sam brings the heat and the fun, so you won’t want to miss these conversations and much more on this episode!

"Stay Schemin'": Breaking Down FSU’s Offense, Defense and Jordan Travis Breakout with Xs and Noles Kevin Little Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave wanted to know what their eyes should be telling them about the performance of this Florida State team since Mike Norvell took over and throughout this Jekyll and Hyde-esque season, so they bring in a special guest—Kevin Little of X’s and Noles (you absolutely should go check out their content).

With Kevin’s guidance, the guys dig into questions such as what’s obviously improved the most on tape about this team since the start of the Norvell Era (hint: it’s mostly on offense); how has Jordan Travis progressed the most as a passer during his time here; has JT13 actually been playing differently during Florida State’s three-game losing streak (as compared to the ‘Noles four-game winning streak to start the year); whether fans are justified in their criticism of Adam Fuller’s defense; why the defense has seemingly underperformed this year (or has it?) relative to preseason expectations; things we should hope to see differently out of the defense the remainder of the season; where Jordan Travis ranks among the ACC quarterback gauntlet; and expectations for the remainder of the season (spoiler alert: you get to hear about how Miami is a bad football team on tape!).

You won’t wanna miss that and much more in this episode, which is equal parts fun, informative, and relieving, thanks to Kevin Little!

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.

"Halfway Mark": FSU Remaining Schedule Breakdown and Projecting Games against Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida state Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave break down Florida State’s remaining 5 games, offering win probabilities for each game on the hunt for a path to 4-1 and an eight-win season.

The guys posit that Georgia Tech should be an easy win (and indeed a must-win), with its equally impotent defense and Jeff Sim-led offense.

They then assess Miami, which has wildly underperformed relative to preseason expectations (and the $80 million+ they paid to lure Mario Cristobal), and they believe a somewhat susceptible Miami defense should allow FSU to outscore the disappointing Hurricane offense led be Tyler Van Dyke.

Next, Drake argues Syracuse will be the most difficult opponent and game left on the Seminoles’ schedule, as RB Sean Tucker and QB Garrett Shrader have run at-will on Cuse’s opponents thus far, while Dave contends the Orange have been boosted by an easy schedule and should be a key, decisive victory for Florida State.

Then, they explain why FSU should cakewalk past a middling, Billy Napier-less Louisiana team, before moving to Napier’s new team, the Florida Gators. Both Drake and Dave believe this should be a victory for FSU, even if a narrow one, as Gators’ QB Anthony Richardson has struggled mightily throwing the football and the Florida defense just made LSU QB Jayden Daniels look like the second coming of Joe Burrow.

A 4-1 finish is right there for Florida State’s taking, and more than doable. Can they finish strong? Tune in to find out!

"Learn In Real Time": FSU At the Halfway Mark After Clemson & 2nd Half Expectations for Jordan Travis and Mike Norvell Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave return to their roots, providing a much-needed support group session after Florida State drops its third straight game, this time against the top-5 Clemson Tigers, explaining why it’s okay to recognize positives while being understandably upset with the results after starting 4-0. Where do we go from here? Listen in to find out.

First, the guys take stock in where this team is at entering the bye week, contrasting FSU’s red hot 4-0 start against its three-game skid, after the Seminoles fall to Clemson 34-28.

Next, they survey the many reasons to be upset that Florida State finds itself needed to finish 4-1 to win 8 games, especially after at least two winnable games against ranked NC State and, to a lesser degree, Wake Forest. Bottom line, the Seminoles need an influx of talent to escape the “lose-small” phase, and proceed to “win-small.” Then, they offer reasons for optimism, including improved play of numerous position groups and young contributors (especially on the defense).

Finally, Drake and Dave discuss where we go from here and what we need to see this team accomplish down the stretch, as the Seminoles exit the bye week with a far easier slate of games that include bad Georgia Tech and Louisiana teams, arguably the worst Florida and Miami teams in some time, and Syracuse.

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.

"Be Aggressive": Can Jordan Travis, Johnny Wilson & Trey Benson find FSU a way to Keep it Close and Upset Clemson Oct 15, 2022

Show notes

Shocktober is a real thing and the Florida State Seminoles look to possibly pull off a stunning upset in Doak Campbell stadium against the top-ranked Clemson Tigers. 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 thru the air? How does Jordan need to attack this scary, elite and freakish Clemson D-Line? Can Norvell and Atkins keep their foot on the gas if they find themselves ahead?

While the Clemson Defense seems to be a mismatch for the Seminoles offense, the Tigers' offense is a different story. Jared Verse is more than capable of disruption DJ Uiagalelei's flow and the defense will need him Saturday night. Primetime defense needs to make some primetime plays and quite honestly, the fellas feel a little luck may be in the cards for the Noles.

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 herre at Locked On Seminoles wnat to thank each and every single one of you for all od the love and support. We hope you enjoy today's show and we will see y'all next time! Go Noles! Beat Clemson!

"The Path to Victory": FSU's Ja’Khi Douglas To Return From Injury & how Jordan Travis can pull off upset in Clemson Preview Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave discuss injury news (finally, positive news!) and preview the Seminoles’ third-straight ranked matchup, this time against the top-5 Clemson Tigers.

First, the guys react to the news that WR/RB Ja’Khi Douglas is on the verge of returning from injury that’s kept him out for the first half of this season, and what his return (and inevitable, elite wheel routes) could mean for an offense that will miss Treshaun Ward following his injury against NC State.

Next, they preview the top-5 Clemson Tigers, and how Florida State stacks up against them, beginning with the FSU offense against the Clemson defense (elite as always), and then flipping to the Clemson offense (led by a resurgent campaign from DJU) against the FSU defense. Finally, they offer keys to the game if the ‘Noles are to pull off the upset and defeat the Tigers for the first time since 2014.

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.

"Moving Forward": Treshaun Ward Injury Update and Impact on FSU, Closing Book on NC State & Rest of Season Outlook Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave bring on a special guest to close the book on the Seminoles’ devastating collapse against NC State, discuss the injury to Treshaun Ward, and update their feelings on this team going into the second half of the schedule.

First, the guys are joined by special guest and familiar face, Max, who offers his insight on the NC State game, to which Drake and Dave have some strong reactions.

Next, they discuss the injury to running back Treshaun Ward, and what it could mean for the offense as a whole, and question whether Trey Benson and Lawrence Toafili can fill the void left by Ward’s strong performance this season.

Finally, they take stock in the season as a whole thus far, and update their feelings on this team and its outlook for the rest of the season, in light of the Seminoles’ strong 4-0 start followed by consecutive losses heading into Clemson.

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.

"What Happened": How the Heck did FSU Collapse against NC State in burtal loss & Questions on Offense moving forward Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave are here to support you through this trying time, breaking down one of the most brutal losses in recent memory, as Florida State falls 19-17 to NC State.

First, the guys discuss the comedy of errors that led to an inexplicable and deflating loss for the Seminoles, against a team they were better than, including (but certainly not limited to) arguably the worst QB play we’ve seen from Jordan Travis in 2022, a case of the dropsies by the wide receivers in critical situations, a stunning special teams gaffe, and an incomprehensibly anemic offensive gameplan in the second half by the coaching staff—failing to score a single point in the second half against a team that lost QB Devin Leary to injury early in the third quarter (and whose backup didn’t complete a pass).

They also take stock in where this team is at through 6 games, particularly coming off back-to-back losses in winnable games, before turning to their initial thoughts on and expectations for the ‘Noles most difficult test yet against the top-5 Clemson Tigers this weekend.

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.

"This Isn't Vanderbilt" - Know Your Foe: Wake Forest - FSU's Jordan Travis Faces Off Against Wake's Sam Hartman in Ranked Matchup in Atlantic Game Preview Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

Who would've thought that all eyes would be on Tallahassee for a ranked matchup of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons as they take on our Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee to determine a possible ACC conference championship favorite. Well, your friends here at Locked On Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast are here with a game preview.

Today, Know Your Foe is back this week and our old friend Cam Lemons Debro of 247 sports and the unofficially official head of Tailgating at Wake Forest is here to sit down with Drake to help us learn what makes the Demon Deacons tick.

What are expectations for Wake Forest fans now that Dave Clawson has lead them to consistent sustained success? What is this long mesh that has terrorized ACC defenses over the past few years and how can we contain it? What has it been like to see Sam Hartman truly grow up and develop into one of the most dangerous and efficient passing quarterbacks in the entire country's?

When it comes to FSU, Cam states how the much improved passing ability of Florida State Seminoles starting QB Jordan Travis has exceeded all other expectations, how the new wide receiver corps of Johnny Wilson and Mycah Pittman have vaulted this offense to new heights and how the defensive line of FSU needs to win at the point of attack in order to stifle this Demon Deacon juggernaut.

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 episode and we will see you all next time. Go Noles!
