OTB: Miami Hate Week...Yay

FSU's depressing season is probably about to get a lot worse with the Seminoles sitting at three-touchdown underdogs entering Miami Hate Week. Our episode isn't about this game, but rather the long walk to the end of the season and what sort of changes are in store or needed for this upcoming offseason.

OTB: A building Brock, The Duke of Doak, and more

Why did it take so long to make the switch to Brock Glenn and was the wait worth it? This episode of On The Bench focuses heavily not just on QB play, but the decisions that led into FSU getting its best performance of the year from Glenn and where the Seminoles go from here at the position. The episode then shifts into youth movement and the first three things we would do if we were named the Duke of Doak.

OTB: Happy Brocktoberfest

FSU is going with Brock Glenn against Clemson. Will that make a marked changed in the offense with DJ Uiagalelei sidelined? We go over expectations for FSU's QB1 for the foreseeable future, what the offense could look like, the timing of the change, and our view of the other backup QBs. Plus the race (Nee shockingly doesn't care), a decommit, and more. You can subscribe to On The Bench, X’s and Noles, and Beyond The Bench on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
