FSU football: How coaching synergy will help ‘Noles offense in 2020
By Kelvin Hunt
Play Calling
This is where the organization and running practices, so players can get the maximum number of reps possible makes a difference.
The coaches will have observed the players each day in practice and evaluated what they can and can’t execute. That information will go into the helping formulate whatever the game plan is for each opposing team on the schedule.
Think about it. How many times did we see FSU run a play last year multiple times, and it NEVER works? Those bubble screens to the boundary were wasted plays almost every single time.
Briles calling a slant pass with the ball on the half-yard line to the goal line in the bowl game still blows my mind.
How the players’ practice will dictate how they call the plays. We’ve heard it a million times already. This offense is built for playmakers, and these coaches will look to get the ball to those playmakers as much as possible as they form game plans each week.
For instance, shouldn’t Tamorrion Terry receive more than five targets per game?
Did FSU have game plans for each game last year? I’m not so sure. I’m almost positive they didn’t against Miami, and there were too many games where they just seemed to be drawing plays in the dirt, hoping they’d work.
I think we’ll see more attention to executing the play properly instead of relying on pace in hopes of the defense not being lined up yet.
