How I’m Doing:
This Week: 2-1
On The Year: 2-1

It’s not often that I run specials, but this weekend is, well, special: After going 3-0 on Saturday (that pick I had of Tennessee. . . I wasn’t serious; you were supposed to figure that out), I figure I’ll test my run of luck today with a game that used to draw national headlines, and now only gets attention because it’s the only game of the day.

-Florida State (-3) @ Clemson

This will mark the third consecutive game that I’ve taken the road team. But this weekend I was 2-1 (1-1 on the road), and had Tennessee remembered what a tackle was I might have pulled the trifecta.

Clemson returns the best running back tandem in the nation with James Davis and CJ Spiller. According to sources, Davis will be more of a feature back, and they’ll try to get Spiller out in open space to do his thing (which is run really, really fast). The problem is that Clemson starts its third new quarterback in as many years, and this new quarterback doesn’t have Chaunsi Stuckey to throw to.

FSU, on the other hand, has always had the athletes, but unfortunately had daddy’s sons coaching them. Not the case this year. LSU’s offense, even scoring 45 points, looked slow without Jimbo Fischer. And now he’s the guy coaching Drew Weatherford.

The guy coaching the other team? Yeah, that’s daddy’s son. Punt the field goal, ‘Noles cover.
