FSU football: 5 MAJOR areas Noles must handle for shot at upsetting Miami Hurricanes
By Kelvin Hunt
Get Off To A Fast Start
It's a home game for Miami, and that normally doesn't mean much, but their front-running fans will show up to this game because it's FSU, and they believe they have a chance to blow the Noles out. I'm sure the crowd will be hyped, and Miami will look to land a knockout blow early.
FSU must get off to a fast start offensively while hoping the defense can contain the Miami offense or at least hold them to field goals. We've seen Miami struggle against lesser defenses for a large chunk of games.
A lot of FSU's offensive struggles are lacking confidence when they're plays to be made. It's not like FSU doesn't have receivers running wide-open every game. They struggle to execute in those situations for whatever reason. If they can get some things to go right early, who knows if that can instill some confidence?
It's not like they have anything to lose because everyone expects a blowout. If they can keep it respectable and keep the Miami fans out of the game? Who knows what can happen?
