How Offense Helps Special Teams

This is the opposite of the FSU defense, meaning an offense that can move the ball and get at least one first down before having the punt helps special teams.

I don’t know the exact number, but I know the FSU offense has had too many drives of going three and out. That’s not good when your starting field position sucks, to begin with, right?

One bright spot on special teams was punt return coverage and Alex Mastromanno averaging 43 yards per punt. What does all that mean?

It means if the offense can show some life without going three-and out, there’s a good shot special teams can pin them deep in their territory and flip the field.

Will the FSU offense be improved over last season? I have reason to believe that’ll be the case as I expect the offensive line and wide receivers to be better.

I expect Jordan Travis to be better at quarterback, which should help. FSU only allowed 13 punt returns on 61 punts last season for an eight yard return average.
