FSU football: Is back half of the 2020 schedule tougher than expected?
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football will look to right the ship against Pittsburgh.
FSU football has had a week to flush the blowout loss against Louisville out of its system. FSU head coach Mike Norvell said the Noles had a productive bye week, working on fundamentals with some potential positional changes among a few players.
He said he saw an improvement in the team as they turn their attention and focus on preparing for the Pittsburgh Panthers.
The Noles finished the first half of the season at (2-4). They could have been (0-6) or (3-3). They could have beaten Georgia Tech if Tamorrion Terry doesn’t drop a pass and Emmett Rice doesn’t drop an interception.
It’s unlikely they come back to beat Jacksonville State if Jordan Travis isn’t put in the lineup after Tate Rodemaker showed he wasn’t ready.
North Carolina probably beats FSU football if they don’t drop three passes on their final drive. It’s been a first half that no one expected because the defense has played so poorly. That unit was supposed to be the strength of the team, but they have been the worst unit by far. The second half of the season is interesting because there are several x-factors with how things could play out.
Is the second half of the slate tougher than we expected? Let’s look at the games remaining(I’m not including the Clemson game because nobody expects FSU to win that game).
