FSU football: 5 huge positives from 2023 ACC schedule release
By Kelvin Hunt
Manageable back-end of the schedule
One thing that I liked about the 2022 schedule was how winnable the games were after the second bye-week. It was no surprise the Noles won the last five games on the schedule, and I feel the same way about the final five games on the schedule in 2023.
Wake Forest will have a new QB and lost a ton of the super seniors they had on the team last year. The game is later in the year, and that should tap into the lack of depth they have talent-wise. They also play Pittsburgh the week before the Noles.
Pittsburgh lost a lot from their defense and will have a familiar face at QB in former Boston College QB Phil Jurkovec.
If you know me, I don’t think much of Jurkovec as a QB, and Pittsburgh likes to run the ball a ton, regardless. Miami is a cluster and doesn’t scare me in the least bit. North Alabama is a dub, and Florida looks like they’re moving in the wrong direction of Billy Napier.
If FSU remains relatively healthy, they should go through the back end of this schedule with little issue.
