FSU Football: 5 observations from ‘Noles win over Boston College

Walt Belt Offense Seems To Be Better

The FSU offense hasn’t put up way more points per game since Walt Bell took over play calling duties but it does seem to have more of an identity and less negative plays.

For instance, FSU averaged 6.37 ypp against Boston College who came into the game allowing 4.94 ypp.

The Noles were also able to establish a run game for the second consecutive week as they rushed for 156 yards and averaged 4.3 yard per rush Saturday afternoon.

Deondre Francois could have had an even better day passing if he didn’t get happy feet when no pressure was present and throw the ball to Charlie Ward on the sidelines.

There were a couple of drops though, but overall when he missed he missed badly.

He still threw for 322 yards on just 19 completions. There were a couple of play calls Bell had that I wasn’t a fan of, but for the most part they seemed to make sense and were productive when FSU executed or refrained from penalties.

They are certainly more explosive in the passing game and Tamorrion Terry has been featured a bit more with Bell calling plays which is always good.

It’ll be interesting to see how he matches up with a Gator’s defense that allowed over four yards per rush and over five yards per play overall.
