Find Success Early

FSU football is a team that’s grown in confidence over the last nine games, including the Dusquense last week and the final eight games in 2021.

I think they have confidence going into the LSU game, and if they find success early, that will only continue to bolster it. I’m not sure what mentality LSU will bring into the game.

They finished the 2021 season 2-4 in their final six games. They have a lot of transfer players, a new coaching staff, and a team that may think they’ll beat FSU solely because they play in the SEC.

FSU is a team that believes they can beat LSU in their home state. A team that knows if they beat LSU, they set themselves up to turn a lot of heads nationally, and the effect on recruiting would be massive.

I believe this team learned how to deal and overcome adversity last year, which should bolster that confidence going into 2022.

If they can get off to a fast start, a touchdown on their opening drive, or a 10-0 or 14-0 lead? I think it’ll be off to the races for this team Sunday night.
