FSU football has a huge game in their 2019 road opener against Virginia. I look at five keys to victory for the Noles.

FSU football is basically facing a must-win game Saturday against the Virginia Cavaliers. A win here could do wonders for a program and fan base thirsty for success.

The Noles have looked great through the first two quarters in both games, but fell apart at the first sign of adversity.

Can FSU football play a full game with consistency against the best team on the schedule thus far?

It’ll likely be the best defense they have faced. The question is will the FSU offense be able to show the same life they’ve shown at times on the road against a good defense?

Has that side of things been a mirage against lesser competition?

The bigger question is will the FSU defense show any semblance of being able to stop the run and get off the field on third downs?

There’s no question FSU football has more talent. Can they get that talent to execute at a high level for four quarters? Let’s get into the five keys to victory for the Noles.
