Four Downs: Florida State

There's a number of quotes that the proverbial "cliché machine" recycles after a win or loss. A team is never as good as when it's rolling, and it's never as bad as when it struggles. A game is never decided by a single play. An early play can potentially haunt a result, but it's not the end of the game when there's plenty of time still left on the clock. There's still work to be done to improve in victory, while losses highlight the need to prepare better, practice better, coach better and execute better.

They seem simple but carry complexities.
