FSU football: 5 keys to Noles defeating LSU Tigers in 2023

Contain Jayden Daniels

I did an entire article and video on the Built For Playmakers Youtube Channel here. I believe the LSU offense starts and stops with Jayden Daniels. I think the key to limiting Daniels is forcing him to stay in the pocket and make him beat you with his arm.

Think of the way Clemson defended Jordan Travis in 2021. The only difference is LSU has way better receivers on their team this year than Jordan Travis had in 2021. Nevertheless, I think FSU’s defensive front, and get pressure up the middle to collapse the pocket.

As long as the FSU defensive ends don’t run themselves out of the play and open up huge lanes to run, I think FSU’s secondary can hold up.

They played well last year against a talented bunch from LSU. However, FSU can’t allow Jayden Daniels to scramble like he did last year, and they can’t allow him to have all day to find receivers. I don’t think the latter will happen with FSU’s defensive front.

If they can win on early downs and put LSU in predictable passing situations, forcing Daniels to beat them with is arm is the way to go.
