Conclusion

I know I’ve been harsh in some areas, but the FSU offense was a top 2 offense with all those things considered.

Coach Jimbo Fisher always preaches the “little things” to the players and that seems to be sticking with the leaders of this team in 2017.

Winning on first down to create opportunities to convert third and short where this team excelled last season is imperative.

The offensive line not shooting themselves in the foot with dumb false start or holding penalties. The quarterbacks making good decisions with the football, becoming more accurate and making better pre-snap reads will be huge.
