FSU Football facing uphill field position battle against Florida

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Looks like we have a HUGE special teams advantage against FSU. Hopefully Callaway will house at least one!

We're due a kick return this year (we haven't had a punt or KO returned yet, have we?).

Not one that counted anyhow...

They don't count unless they count.

Callaway returned a kick for a TD. Of course it was a failed onside kick attempt, but it counts.

True dat!

you guys remember when we used to block punts...

have we even come close this year? We keep setting up for returns...you know those big, 3 yarders.

Hopefully Callaway changes that this weekend.

Hell, I thought all he did was fair catch punts inside the 5. I'd be happy with 3 yarders just so our QB wouldn't have to take the first snap of the drive standing in the end zone.

It would get us to the 8.

Yeah... but we got screwed with that "so-called" holding call on AC's punt return for a TD.

All the positivity around here is making me start to think we might be able to win this weekend. Lord I'm gonna put a hex on you turds if you get my hopes up and we go out there and the bed again. I really am sick and tired of freaking halfassu.

 

[TLB]

Article was all about the punting. I think we have an advantage on FG as well. They have Ricky Aguayo, younger brother of the kicker that did fairly well for them in recent years. I don't think he's quite up to Eddie level - decent, but not up there.

Maybe you should change your name to Rip Van Winkle. I think you might as well go to sleep until UF gets a coach on par with Fisher. UF does have a big advantage in special teams with Townsend, but the problem is that he's UF's main weapon and FSU has the best offense, by a wide margin, that UF has faced this year. I doubt UF can stop FSU from crossing the goal line multiple times. Uf, on the other hand, celebrates crossing that threshold even once, as seen by their astounding accomplishment of having the offense do so three times in the last three games.

We arent up to par but we arent Syracuse or any of the other patsies you play year in and year out.

Aguayo 16-21 Pineiro 16-20 They're virtually even. FSU does have another kicker, the punter, who is 1-2 on attempts from 53+.
I would give the advantage to FSU based on history, though. It's been a long time since FSU has missed a field goal against UF. Also, the younger Aguayo has kept a stat his brother achieved. He's never missed from 40 yards or shorter. FSU also holds the NCAA record for consecutive PAT's, now near 300 and ongoing.

Soberjohn, I think i recognize your old-style of writing = A Sap's Fables -- amarite?

Eddy has 5 field goals better than Aguayo's longest. When you have to have two kickers it means one has no leg and the other has no accuracy. Not something I'd be bragging about.
