Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos didn’t receive the credit for his pass performance against Alabama, nor have enough people discussed how he will continue to improve his pass numbers this season.
FSU’s defense played admirably against the Crimson Tide, and it was a well-rounded performance. There’s still more that FSU can do to win with its defense. I explain how.

Florida State’s Ethan Pritchard was recently shot. I provide a backdrop to the developing story and my experiences of being around him as a recruit.

Finally, FSU’s offensive line deser...
Florida State’s Gus Malzahn told everyone his plan when first hired to come to Tallahassee. Run the football, be physical, and show the eye candy and misdirection to help create big runs and passes. FSU did what it was planning to do against Bama, and it was surgical.
The statistics were dominant, especially the drive chart. I break down how the Seminoles took apart Alabama’s defense and why Noles fans should be excited. Plus, how ...
Florida State destroyed the Alabama Crimson Tide, winning 31-17 in the newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium. Florida State’s trench play was the key and it’s broken down during this podcast.
Florida State football also showcased a tremendously physical defense, holding Alabama to 87 total rushing yards. Don’t forget about quarterback Tommy Castellanos either! He was balling!

Florida State’s depth chart displayed how Mike Norvell and his coaching staff will only play individuals who earn opportunities by way of following the rules on and off the gridiron. Nothing’s free. I go into detail about why there was such an upheaval with the first FSU depth chart.
I also define five major obstacles for the Seminoles versus the Alabama Crimson Tide. Some are straightforward, but a few are not being discussed enoug...
Florida State’s depth chart was released. Goodness! There were surprises at wide receiver, tight end, and all levels of the defense.
My takes on Florida State’s evolving depth chart will surprise many people. FSU has multiple walk-ons on the depth chart? I have serious questions about how and why certain players will play the positions they’re listed at, too.

Locked On Seminoles provides the latest intel on Florida State’s attempted culture change. How quickly can the Noles make it happen?
Florida State’s culture still needs to improve despite the offense taking major steps forward with quarterback Tommy Castellanos leading the way. Will FSU also overcome possible talent shortages (especially with depth) in conjunction with the culture shift?
The defense, led by Darrell Jackson, has shown...
