FSU Offense will average 6.3 ypp or more

I expect the FSU offense to be good in 2020. James Blackman at quarterback will surprise some people now that he’s getting coached to his strengths.

The offensive line looks to be bigger and stronger, with better coaching in the offensive system. There should be fewer negative plays on average, and the passing plays should be explosive.

Mike Norvell offenses have averaged 6.85, 7.12, and 7.35 ypp the last three years, and that’s with much less talent than what’s on the FSU football roster.

I expect more explosive plays from the wide receivers, and there should be more explosive running plays if the reports coming out of practice are true.

It would not surprise me to see this FSU offense average near 30+ points per game in 2020. However, the biggest factor in achieving this goal is limiting the number of negative plays. FSU allowed 12.1 percent of its offensive plays to be tackled for a loss in 2019.
