OTB: Controlling ‘Cuse, Identity Taking Shape, and Body Language Ramblings Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

Florida State controlled Syracuse in convincing fashion, moving the Seminoles to 6-0 on the season. On The Bench goes over what went right for FSU in this episode, with a focus on some encouraging trends as this team’s identity is starting to take shape.

We’ll dive into the minutia – like Jordan Travis’ body language, what happens if 6 teams go undefeated, what went wrong on the 4th-and-1 Wildcat call – but this is a big-picture look at what FSU did well against ‘Cuse, and what it’s starting to do well more and more often.

A little recruiting talk and some Buy or Sonnone awaits at the end of the episode.
