Can FSU offense play a turnover free game?

The FSU offense continues to turn the ball over at an alarming rate. I said in every Georgia Tech article they were +10 in turnover margin, which was No. 4 nationally.

The one thing FSU couldn’t do is turn the ball over against Georgia Tech, and what do they do? They turned it over twice on Georgia Tech’s side of the field, and one of those was inside the Georgia Tech 10-yard line.

Both turnovers were by running back Lawrance Toafili, who was a major contributor to the offensive production Saturday.

It’s great we can say the turnovers were isolated to one player in particular, but it’s something the offense has to get corrected if they want to beat good teams. If

FSU were playing anyone with a pulse offensively Saturday, that game could have gone sideways in a hurry with two turnovers in the first half. However, they were able to overcome them and win comfortably.

A fumble against Wake Forest and Clemson changed the momentum in those games, but it was good to see the FSU defense only allowed three points off the two turnovers.
