Defensive Coordination
I have faith in new FSU defensive coordinator Tony White. He's produced back-to-back top 20 defenses at Nebraska in his two seasons there.
They played a four-man front before he arrived, so he has experience implementing his defense in a new place under these circumstances. I have no doubt the defense will be improved, but how much of it can the players digest?
It takes time to perfect the timing of blitzes(something FSU struggled to do well under Adam Fuller). FSU will play multiple fronts, so how well will they communicate on assignments between all three levels of the defense? How much can they expand from the base defense?

Where will the pass rush come from? Will the secondary have the ability to switch between man and zone? These are all questions I ponder about when thinking about the defense.
