That FSU was probably due for a dud performance. After all, it's been a thrilling 5 - 1 run since the meltdown vs. Wake. Even the Georgia Tech loss could have been a win.
That Jimbo, Mickey and the rest of the staff could be out-schemed and out-coached, even though they had more talent on their side.
That with so much to play for, since Wake's loss conveniently teed up the Noles to win the division, FSU players could be out-hustled by a team with a smart plan and refuse-to-lose attitude.
That a light, quick offensive line can beat a bigger defensive front, but not when that defense is at least as quick, more disciplined, and motivated.
That, on the other hand, stout defense and hard-nosed tackling can occasionally take the night off.
That when it comes to calling pass interference, Ron Cherry's ref crew is on a different planet than other college zebras.
That Christian Ponder has come a long way, but may be only half way there. And that D'Vo needs to play more than one or two snaps a game.
That excessive celebration can result in more painful things than a penalty.
That even after the suspensions for fighting, some players still wanted to get it on after the final gun. Apparently an important lesson yet to be learned.
That we never again want to see those damn black uniforms.
