Here's a stat you won't see from Saturday night's rainy rout

Progress. You saw it everywhere on Saturday night. Though in all the well deserved, long-awaited toasting and boasting, one non-stat is being overlooked.

We'll call it the Keystone Kops Factor. FSU avoided it, even with the new clock rules. Western Carolina didn't.

Catamounts Coach Dennis Wagner wailed about it after the game:

"It is one thing to get beat; it's another to not operate and function properly. We had too many substitution problems with wasted first downs; we had penalties; we were wasting timeouts to get players on the field and that's unacceptable. This football team did not perform to its ability."

Sound familiar? How many FSU drives were killed, and even games lost, under the previous offensive administration due to the KK Factor?

Hey, but that was then. This is now. The smarter, more efficient, clock-conscious Jimbo now.

I can't tell you guys how proud I was of the noles Sat. night they looked like a real team. I see big things in the future for Jimbo and the noles.
The Year of The Spear!!!

Exactly! I think the most infuriating thing with the past "administration" was coming out of a stoppage of play, then calling a time-out because they didn't know what play to run. Or getting a stupid penalty because of the coaching.
