A few thoughts following the FSU-Miami Game

1. Congratulations to Miami for breaking their losing streak to the Noles.

2. Jacory Harris and Christian Ponder are both better than advertised.

3. Both of these teams will be looking much more like the Noles and Canes are expected to by the end of the season. FSU's secondary showed their youth and will learn in a hurry in live game situations and Miami will get their starting DE's back and putting a pass rush to go with the rest of a solid, athletic young defense, will make them a power on that side of the ball.

4. The Jimbo Fisher system is going to work at FSU. There have been serious questions in Tallahassee about whether or not bringing him in and blowing up the offense was the right move, but their last two games (going back to last season's bowl game), the offense has been dynamic and explosive against 2 very good defensive teams. Jimbo's history gives us no reason to expect anything else as he continues to get his players in the system.

5. That game was not over yet.

6. Neither is this rivalry.
