    Grading The Noles In Music City Bowl


    Offensive Line: With the changes on the offensive line, Trickett did a great job for the bowl game. O line only allowed one sack.
    Grade: A

    Running Game: Smith had 156 yards rushing. The run game was good but tailbacks did not get any TDs.
    Grade: B+

    QB: Weatherford had 276 yards,1 passing TD and two interceptions. He played about as good as he can.
    Grade: B

    Receivers: There was one TD by the receivers. Carr and Parker had decent games but not enough to win.
    Grade: B

    Offensive Coaching: Mixed bag for the offense. Noles did not keep the ball enough to keep depleted Nole defense off the field. Running game probably should have been used more.
    Grade: C

    Defense and Defensive Coaching: Mickey was dealing with a depleted defense. FSU secondary is a problem that needs help in 2008.
    Grade: C-

    Penalties: Will it ever get better? Noles had a total of 102 yards in penalties. Unbelievable!
    Grade: F

    Kicking Game: Cismesia was 0-1 and Gano had a bobble but averaged 57 yards in punts.
    Grade: B

    No way could I give DW such a generous grade. He was either off-target or trying to force passes into double coverage all night. He was lucky to only have two picks.

    And in defense of the penalties, I would like to present a new category to grade: Officiating - I give them (Big "L"east crew) a solid F.

    You are probably correct regarding Weatherford. I gues it is the spirit of the New Year. :)

    The officiating was terrible particularly the Carr offensive interference call.
