Chris Thompson looked amazing. 15 carries for 103 yards (2 TDs) and 8 receptions for 79 yards. Kid looks on another level out there (kinda like Oregon's D'Anthony Thomas).

.......against an ACC team, Clemson, who gave up 70 points in a bowl game. Before the lsu darts come my way, yes they looked bad last night. No excuse, except its always a tough game between these 2. Before the game, 11 out of the last 12 went to the home team. And no, AUB isnt good. LSU looked like last years offense (but the defense held them to like 185 yards). Oregon and FSU should jump LSU this week and FSU has an amazingly easy schedule the rest of the way. So, they wont prove nothing all year.

I thought the same thing. Their defense is junk.

LSU looked like absolute garbage yesterday. playing an unranked and shitty Auburn team. Just stop. Not too mention, this is a thread about FSU. Stop bringing LSU into the discussion on every thread. There are plenty of SEC websites you can go too to do this.

Clemson will always be that team that lets you down every year. But yes Florida State looked good. Let's not crown them yet, they still have a better than average Florida team left on the schedule. And they historically slip up in the big rivalry games.

Auburn is a terrible team. Lsu struggled mightily. They should have fell 3 spots. But it's an sec team so that's not possible. Lol at south Carolina in the top 6.

Fsu has a ton of speed. I'm not sold completely yet though. Clemson is hit or miss every game. Never know who will show up.

Yeah but Clemsons offense doesn't exactly suck. People can say they are overrated all they want, but they have a lot of talent on offense.

you are correct clemson does have alot of talent on offense. but if florida state thinks they can be championship contender they cant play defense like that and expect their offense to put 48 points and 650 yds of offense against top notch teams.
