Don’t Face A Ton Of Great Offenses

When you look at FSU and who they’ll play in 2019 you’ll notice there are not a ton of offenses that jump out at you.

Boise State had a good offense last year statistically, but they didn’t play a strong slate of teams. LA-Monroe, Virginia and Louisville don’t scream oh my goodness their offenses are prolific.

NC State loses a ton off of their offense and will have a new quarterback. Clemson will be Clemson and Wake Forest doesn’t scare anyone.

Syracuse was held to six points at halftime last season before the defense folded because the offense couldn’t do anything but shoot themselves in the foot.

They’ll also have a new QB.

Miami’s offense isn’t scary nor is Boston College. Florida scored 13 points at halftime before the floodgates opened in the second half because the defense had been on the field the entire first half.

Notice a theme yet? Don’t worry, you’ll  hear more about it later I promise. I’ve pointed it out before, but the FSU defense played more snaps in 2018 in 12 games than they did in 2017 in 13 games.

Aside from Clemson, FSU football should still have the most talented team on the field in each game.
