FSU football: 3 issues with the ‘Noles offense against Georgia Tech

Wide Receivers Invisible

James Blackman had time to throw the ball most of the night. There were times he evaded pressure and scrambled for yards on the ground.

However, there were times he had a lot of time, and either he wasn’t seeing open wide receivers, or they were not getting open.

It could have been a combination of the two, but we can’t see the entire field on the broadcast. There was no real deep threat, which helped Georgia Tech take away a lot of the underneath stuff.

A lot of the FSU success came early in the game off screenplays. Tamorrion Terry had a pedestrian six receptions for 52 yards with a couple of drops.

However, I must point out his grandmother passed away Saturday morning, and he was playing with a heavy heart.

Warren Thompson had one reception for 24 yards and at least two drops. Keyshawn Helton had one reception for three yards, which was the only touchdown for the Noles on the night. Ontaria Wilson had two receptions for 11 yards.

Tight end Camren McDonald had a good night with four receptions for 41 yards, including a huge 27-yard reception that set up the first touchdown.

Georgia Tech has a good secondary, but there’s no reason the passing game should have been so non-existent.
