Tommy Bowden doesn't have any doubts about whether Florida State will be able to bounce back with a vengeance this season. The Clemson head coach has felt the heat from Bobby Bowden's competitive fire too often to begin underestimating his dad now.

Kinda goes along with Alonzo Jackson's comments: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I want (opponents) to take us lightly. That's what I want them to do. Let them come in thinking that. Let them come in. Let them come on. Because if they have to come to (Florida State) or we have to go to their house, it's going to be the same result.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sorry, but I don't buy it. I don't think anyone will be "taking them lightly." There's a huge difference between that and believing you can win. Finally, ACC teams have that confidence that they can beat FSU....
Even if Florida State finishes first in the ACC (and I think they will), I think it will be a dogfight in many of their games.
