During the lead up to any game week, we analyze the game on paper. We look at each teams relative weaknesses and strengths, put them together in our little heads and come up with a prognostication.
In the lead up to Florida State week, there was a lot of talk about how bad they were. And when facing a bad team, “what we ought to do” is punish them. Blow them away. “That’s what good teams do.”
I don’t really like to do that, mostly because games aren’t played on paper and as we’ve seen so far this season, any sport can get a little whacky, especially college football 2020.
