Genuinely can't tell if this is a matchup of two good teams or two bad teams, like the signs point to both

MODERATORS
I think it’s 2 good teams that have made a lot of mistakes tonight.
Sark: We gotta play better to beat Alabama.
Me: No duh.
Me drinking burnt-orange kool-aid: Nah, we're gonna be wearing the icy white away unis, we'll be fine

FSU red zone defense: elite
FSU pass defense: lol
Jesus, Brian Kelly is going to straight up murder his receiving corps after tonight.
I’ve always thought announcers are a little too hard on receivers, possibly because there are so many old QBs in the booth.
There’s a lot of “maybe not a perfect ball but you have to catch that!” when the replay actually shows the ball on his wrong shoulder, or behind him while the route has him sprinting, or the poor kid is completely screened by a closing defender on an underthrown ball. A lot of times it was a miracle the receiver got a hand on it at all, but as soon as he does it becomes his fault.
And to that point, it’s maybe not the receivers Kelly will murder, but the entire defense. They’re cooked.
Penalties are killing FSU, dropped passes are killing LSU
LSU is looking hefty early.
hahaha "No YOU have the ball"
Football confirmed being a hot potato.
First ranked vs ranked matchup of the year!
I’m excited for this game. I always am so football-starved by the time week 0 hits thay I dive in and end up watching a lot of blowouts since most teams schedule cupcakes for the first week (which is fine, that’s how it works). So I plan to really savor this game. But I’ve probably jinxed it and now it’ll also be a blowout.
Has anyone told LSU that to score points, they have to go towards the end zone?
What a nice stop!
But thats what the opponent will expect. Got to keep them guessing.

They’re acting like that interview was live but you could see refs hanging around on the field behind him lol. And a HC would never not be watching the game
ngl this game is a mess
Oh fine, I'll watch it then.
These Ford commercials remind me of 30 Rock having Stacy Keach do commercials for aggressively terrible couches.
I'm still not used to seeing BK wearing LSU gear. But I'm not part of the Tiger fay-muh-lee so I don't see shots of him on the sideline that much
Kelly commited a cardinal sin of football, he forgot to make sure his d wasn't allergic to good tackles
Haha, was that FSU's band playing "Neck" after that awesome catch?
Looked like an incomplete forward pass to me. Not sure what Bill LeMonnier was on about
Yeah he was saying the hit caused his arm to go forward and I was like “the rule is just if his arm is going forward when the ball is released so the reasoning you’re giving just confirms it’s an incomplete pass” lol
That was a legitimately hilarious response from Sark
What's with all these on field interviews? I feel like we've gotten way more of them this season. They feel so tacky
It’s a growing trend, the XFL had soooo many of them. I hate it.
Those may or may not have been iffy calls, possibly
A lot of really iffy calls going exclusively in LSU's favor.
Farmer fred going to make special teams run wind sprints
If FSU can patch up their pass defense then they’re a playoff team
I think that’s the right call, but I was just thinking of a way to make it less subjective. Let me know what you guys think.
What if it was only a pass if it makes it past the line of scrimmage? That would mean that forward screens behind the line that are dropped would be fumbles, but it’d mean that stuff like this that I think most people think feel like fumbles wouldn’t get called passes because the hit caused the QB’s arm to go forward.
Interesting. Would that make multi-forward passes legal? Not full-blown like in the XFL, but if the first one is behind LOS then you could design some intriguing plays
I thought of that. I guess I wouldn’t have too much of an issue with it since the first pass would still have to be behind the LOS so I don’t think it’d be much of a change since you can have the receiver/second passer just stand slightly further back right now and do the same thing. Probably a slight advantage but it also means you’re probably closer to defenders (since they might just think it’s a screen).
Special teams apparently give better that it receives
Wow, FSU really made something out of nothing on 3rd and long aaaaand as I write that, what a run to the house!

Looks weird not having Allstate logo on the net. I'm not sure I like them having alcohol advertising instead.

Do they just not practice special teams? Games are won and lost on special teams. Although as I write that, an interception makes this comment sort of irrelevant

Well at least we know FSU's DBs can tackle (each other)
Their secondary is looking sus as hell. The DL seems really good though.
FSU’s OL showed a lot of improvement last year but they’ve really struggled today. Could be that LSU’s D is just playing really well but I hope Travis isn’t running for his life all year like he used to have to do.
That was some backyard football shit
Something tells me that's not how that play was drawn up. Impressive to make something out of nothing
Well that’s schadenfreude blueballs for this Gator. After Week One, looks like college football has jumped the shark. Give me realignment rumors and NFL, please.
I know there's plenty of evidence that these are both really good teams, but I'm getting big "Texas is back" vibes from it. I can't explain why.
Did that make the LOS? I thought that looked like grounding.
