FSU Football: 5 observations from ‘Noles win over Boston College
By Kelvin Hunt
Turnovers/Penalties Still Huge Issues
We said FSU couldn’t turn the ball over and win the game and luckily they were able to force two turnovers themselves.
The Noles STILL have not had ONE game all season without turning the ball over and were lucky they didn’t have two more as Deondre Francois was wild on a couple more passes.
Penalties are still a huge issue as the Noles had seven for 56 yards. There were numerous false starts that killed drives and holding penalties that negated good positive plays.
Penalties are something I expected to be an issue as Willie Taggart teams have traditionally been penalized a ton for whatever reason.
The turnovers are largely tied to Deondre Francois who now has 10 interceptions and a couple of fumbles that represents over half of the team’s turnovers.
These are two areas FSU football is going to have to pay special attention to in the off-season. It’s nearly impossible for a team that struggles on offense to overcome multiple turnovers and penalties every game.
