2021 FSU QB Play

Let me get this out of the way right now. I’m not saying McKenzie Milton or Jordan Travis can do what Sam Howell did in 2019.

Milton has shown the ability to play at or exceed that level before his leg injury. I’m not sure that expectation is fair, considering the injury he’s coming back from and not playing since the 2018 season.

His spring enrollment would be similar to Howell enrolling at North Carolina, with the same amount of time to learn the offense.

Jordan Travis gained valuable experience last year and will have a full offseason in Mike Norvell’s offense.

This experience for both players tells me the FSU offense has no choice but to improve over last year’s product. A better offense changes things quite a bit.

It shortens the games for the defense since they can either score more points or possess the ball more. A good offense can provide momentum for and take pressure off of a defense.

The North Carolina game last year is a prime example, as the defense fed off of the success of the offense and did enough in the first half to hold on for the upset.
