QB Play

James Blackman was 23 of 43 for 198 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Georgia Tech.

Those are terrible numbers, but they could have been way different if wide receivers made a couple of plays for him.

Nevertheless, Blackman made his share of terrible plays that ultimately hindered the offense from being able to do much against an undermanned Georgia Tech defense.

Blackman missed a couple of opportunities to hit some open wide receivers. He had the terrible interception and lost a fumble that resulted in the field goal that ultimately beat the Noles.

The fumble was from his blindside, but he ultimately had to know a backup player had just come in at right tackle.

The offense at least was able to move the ball the few times Jordan Travis was in the game, and that’s with Georgia Tech knowing he’s not a real threat to throw the ball.

Would FSU football be better off starting Jordan Travis or freshman Tate Rodemaker? I feel like Mike Norvell would have put Rodemaker in the game if he thought he was ready, but that didn’t happen.
