Schedule

We’ve talked about the 2019 schedule and how it shakes out. Willie Taggart believes the Noles will be much improved next season. I believe that and a number of FSU football fans believe that.

Heck, they kinda have to be considering they couldn’t be much worse last season despite the talent on the roster.

The 2019 opener against Boise State is going to be a pivotal game for this team. Boise State is the type of team that not as talented but usually don’t beat themselves.

They won 10 games last season but lost a good bit of experience from that team. If FSU wins that game I fully believe they’ll win no less than eight games with the potential to win nine or more provided the injury bug stays away, etc.

If they win that game the chances of them beating Virginia on the road go up from what they are now as well.

It’s all about confidence with this team. I expect when things begin to go right for them it will snowball in a positive direction just as it did in the opposite direction the past two seasons.

It’s like the old adage, “Success breeds confidence and confidence breeds success.” The 2019 schedule shapes up nicely for that to happen unlike last season.
