FSU football: 5 reasons Noles need change at defensive coordinator

Where Are The Adjustments?

As I mentioned, the defense has been handed leads of multiple touchdowns and simply collapsed under the pressure.

Harlon Barnett opted to play mostly zone coverage against Boise State and it was ripped to shreds. One criticism Willie Taggart had last week was he felt they were not aggressive enough and played too soft on third and long.

Well, here are some stunning stats from the Louisiana-Monroe game. The FSU defense had ONE sack and just two tackles for loss against a Sunbelt team.

How is that possible when your entire defense is composed of blue chip caliber recruits?

What happened to stacking the box and making the quarterback beat you with his arm?

Louisiana-Monroe ran the ball whenever they wanted to and probably could have won the game had they gone for a fourth and three instead of kicking the game tying field goal in regulation.

If I could have bet on their converting that first town I would have because they had success all night.

Did I mention Louisiana-Monroe would have had ever better stats had some of their receivers not have bricks for hands? They dropped several passes and/or the QB just missed a wide open receiver several times in the game.

Those things are not going to happen against most of the teams left on the schedule.
