FSU football: How coaches adapted the offense for its playmakers

Final Thoughts

It’s not pretty, and it’s not Mike Norvell’s real offense, but it can be effective. Heck, they average around 35 points per game when Jordan Travis remains healthy.

However, that’s the issue, he gets hurt often, so it’ll be interesting to see how he looks against North Carolina after getting hit quite a bit against Syracuse last week. It was the first time he looked like a healthy Jordan Travis in a while, and hopefully, they can keep him healthy the rest of the year.

The bye week after the UNC game will be perfect timing since a lot of players are playing hurt right now. In the meantime, hopefully, the FSU wide receivers will continue to put the work in to develop as the season progresses.

Camren McDonald had a nice against Syracuse, so maybe that was the confidence booster needed? I know you remember how I harped on the difficulty of freshmen wide receivers contributing?

That sentiment has come to fruition with Malik McClain and Joshua Burrell. Although, Burrell is out with an ankle injury. Where are Ontaria Wilson, Jordan Young, Ja’Khi Douglas, and Kentron Poitier? The wide receiver unit needs to develop in a hurry to take some pressure off the running backs.

If Jordan Travis can stay healthy, I think the Noles have a shot to win at least 2-3 more games on the schedule. That wasn’t the expectation when the season began, but it’s better than what it was looking like a week or so ago.
