The biggest difference between last year's team and this year's team will be that leadership. It's hard to replace guys like Telvin Smith and Lamarcus Joyner. People who thought those guys could be easily replaced were smoking something.

 

With that said, I was very disappointed with:

 

1. Jameis. He's still taking way too many gambles instead of looking for the check down. There were definitely some throws last night he got away with, but his luck will run out eventually.

 

2. The offensive line. This is supposed to be arguably the strongest unit on the team, and one of, if not the top offensive line in the country, and they got manhandled by the Oklahoma State defensive line. They had trouble in pass pro and couldn't open hardly any holes for the running game. I definitely thought we would be able to run the ball at will. Give credit to the Poke's defense. They rose to the occasion. 

 

3. The run defense. I definitely thought our run D would be a strength this year. It's only one game, but it was very shaky last night. 

 

Going off of what I saw last night, this team won't repeat. Luckily, this was just the first game.
