Bowden Quotes

It was great to listen to Bob Davie commentary last night, even though he is still missing some specifics on the offense and it's particulars.

But it was incredible to watch CPJ completely run roughshod over Mickey Andrews. First off, I don't know what kind of offensive scheme Tech used last night but I have never seen it before. Whatever it was, FSU did not expect it and could not figure it out. You got the feeling from Bowden's quotes throughout the game (during lightning delay) and after the game that they were just powerless to stop what Tech was doing and they'd rather not ever play Tech again (sorry Bobby and Davie but it's not the Wishbone). They haven't seen anything yet.

What do you think are the main problems on the defense?

Bowden: “I think the main problem was the wishbone. We simply could not figure it out. We couldn’t get a hold of them to tackle. Paul (Johnson) does a great job. He takes the base wishbone and executes about as good as you see. Then he adds four or five things to it. He added something to us we haven’t seen all year. And we never could get it solved.”

How do you make sure things don’t kind of downward spiral from here?

Bowden: “Don’t play the wishbone anymore. That’s really the best thing we can do. Don’t play the wishbone because we simply cannot stop it. I’ll give that win to the wishbone. Forty-four points should have won that game.”
