FSU football: Grading ‘Noles performance goals against Jacksonville St.

Final Thoughts

As I wrote Sunday, the biggest takeaway was the team’s ability to overcome adversity and get the win, regardless of opponent.

I think it was a good sign all three phases were able to meet their respective goals too. With all that being said, I don’t expect them to beat Notre Dame Saturday if that game can happen.

However, having Jordan Travis leading the offense  against Notre Dame will be a good measuring stick for the rest of the season.

It’ll give FSU the best chance to score points, look respectable, and giving Chubba Purdy time to get reps in practice and continuing learning until he’s ready to play.

FSU coaches can point to the game footage against Jacksonville State as to what’s possible on offense. The quarterback stats were good, three running backs scored touchdowns and had big runs and seven different players with receptions.

I’m not sure what to expect from the defense. I’d like to think they’ll improve with more experience playing for Adam Fuller, but something tells me they are what they are at this point.

I suppose we’ll find out more Saturday night in South Bend.
