00:00It's a great way to start it out. I think the people over there will be excited to see American football.

00:04Everybody's been waiting for football. I think all the eyes are going to be on this game because it's the biggest game of a zero week.

00:11And it's a big game for both teams. Florida State wants to come back from that not being snubbed in the championship Final Four last year.

00:19And Georgia Tech won four of their last six. And they feel like they've got a chance to be pretty good this year, too.

00:25Yeah. You know, for me, Terry, it kind of feels like this is a different Florida State team than the one that went undefeated last year.

00:34Most some would say got screwed out of the playoff with Travis getting hurt and them not being a part of that 14 playoff.

00:42But they still have a good amount of the pieces, especially on the offensive and the defensive lines.

00:49They have D.J. you now who's going to be a quarterback. They have a couple of marquee games here in primetime.

00:55This game and next week on Labor Day night against B.C. I feel like this is going to be a nice ramp jump off for Mike Norvell to kind of say,

01:04we got you know, last year was last year, but we got a real good team this year as well.

01:08I mean, yeah, they picked up, you know, they lost a lot of people in the draft, but he's done a great job.

01:13Mike Norvell of getting into the portal and getting great talent to come to Florida State.

01:17They've made a commitment to NILs and getting great players.

01:20They've continued to do that. D.J., you know, I was an analyst at Clemson when he was a freshman there.

01:25I thought he was going to be the next great one.

01:27I'm almost believing at Clemson because they lost so many coaches and so many lost so many great players that he took the blame for a lot.

01:33But I looked at him as a high caliber quarterback.

01:36And I think Mike Norvell will find a way to fit him into an outstanding offense at Florida State.

01:41So it's going to look different, but I think you're going to see the same level of talent as he brings in Marvin Jones Jr.

01:47A lot of other players that are awful good.
