FSU football: Grading our top 10 BOLD predictions for 2022 season
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU will beat BOTH Miami and Florida
Here is what I wrote:
"I’ve predicted the Noles to beat Miami and lose a close game against Florida in the season finale. However, I wouldn’t be shocked if FSU were to beat Miami and Florida and bring home the State Championship for the first time since the 2016 season. It’s not far-fetched considering FSU almost beat them both last season. I also believe FSU has improved more between then and now among the three teams. Miami and Florida have new head coaches and have question marks on both sides of the ball. Miami lost their top two wide receivers and couldn’t run the ball last year. They have a cupcake schedule which may hide some deficiencies, but they’ll likely get exposed against the better teams on their schedule. Defensively, they were undisciplined with holes in the secondary, and could be run on. Florida has question marks at wide receiver and in their secondary. Is Anthony Richardson as good as everyone thinks? Can Billy Napier coach at the Power 5 level? The upcoming season could be a perfect storm for FSU to catapult to the top of the state."
Need I say more? FSU destroyed Miami 45-3 and beat Florida in the season finale to claim their first state championship since 2016.
