Avoid Turnovers

Miami hasn’t been quite as bad as Georgia Tech or Boston College offensively, but the closest team I’d compare Miami to is NC State offensively.

The only thing is Miami doesn’t have near as good of a defense as the Wolfpack. FSU turned the ball over twice against NC State and still should have won that game by 10 points. It’s asking a lot for the FSU offense to play a clean game.

They only have one game this year where they have avoided turning the ball over, and that was against Boston College. Miami’s defense has 12 takeaways on the season, and FSU turning it over multiple times is the biggest factor that could influence this game.

FSU got away with two turnovers against Georgia Tech because their offense was impotent. Both turnovers happened in Georgia Tech territory, which helped the defense only allowed three points off them.

If FSU does turn it over, making sure it happens without providing Miami’s offense with a short field would be best. However, if FSU can somehow avoid offensive turnovers, I don’t see any way Miami can win this game.
