| 0:00.0 | All right, so on the last episode, we more or less outlined a doomsday scenario and lo and behold, |
| 0:06.0 | a doomsday scenario for Florida State in the season opener against Virginia Tech. |
| 0:12.0 | FSU loses 24 to 3 and just really helpless on offense, |
| 0:17.4 | not a whole lot of positives to come away with. |
| 0:19.8 | And frankly, I blame Chris Knee for being negative at the end of the last podcast. |
| 0:24.0 | You're the negative Nancy but neither of us were negative enough or what we saw last night. |
| 0:28.6 | Yeah we got some some crap from our readers for predicting like 8 and 4 9 and 3 records but you know anyways hey this is why the hell are we so optimistic |
| 0:38.9 | This is the nose 24-7 podcast bread and Sinone chrisney |
| 0:42.9 | We're both a little tired from covering last night's game, |
| 0:46.0 | late night, and obviously a debacle at Doe Campbell Stadium |

| 1:20.9 | So you're talking about something that doesn't happen very often, that that level of ineptitude on offense with those level of skill players? |
| 1:27.0 | Yeah, you have four Red Zone visits, you come away with three points. It's inexcusable. |
| 1:31.0 | You get on the doorstep multiple times, you can't knock it in, you have an 85 yard |
| 1:35.8 | running that sets you up, you can't score. It's just mind blowing how ineffective they were. |
| 1:41.0 | They ran, I believe, 65 total total plays over 50% of their plays went |
