FSU football: 3 positive observations from Boise State loss

Offense

Man, the offense is as advertised when the players execute. The Noles scored touchdowns on their first three offensive possessions, and likely would have been four consecutive if not for an errant snap by Baveon Johnson.

That errant snap cost the Noles points. A sack fumble lost in Boise State territory likely cost the Noles points. Cam Akers lost a fumble on Boise’s 31 yard line which was within field goal range.

FSU left a ton of points on the field despite scoring on 31 points in the first half. The offense averaged 6.87 ypp against a good Boise State defense.

Want to know what’s even more crazier? The Noles only had 68 total yards in the entire second half. Some of that was some inept playcalling by Kendal Briles and the other part of that was lack of execution by the players.

There were dropped passes and missed throws that cost the offensive the needed momentum to get going.

The offensive line played better than last year for the most part and FSU was able to run the ball. James Blackman was sacked four times, but a lot of that happened when starter Brady Scott was injured.

This offensive has the potential to be scary if the players can execute and that wasn’t the case last year.
