Avoid Turnovers

The FSU offense turning the ball over has been a huge issue all season. They likely have at least two more wins if they don't turn it over multiple times against Memphis and Duke.

The Noles only have three games without turnovers, and one of those was last week against Charleston Southern with Luke Kromenhoek as the starting QB.

The other two games were against Georgia Tech in the season opener and the Miami Hurricanes. FSU had a chance to beat Georgia Tech and was in the game in the third quarter against Miami, but the offense failed to show up. Kromenhoek protects the ball well as a runner but has thrown two interceptions this year (both against North Carolina).

Florida is tied at No. 40 with 17 turnovers gained and has forced a turnover in 10 of 11 games this year. They have forced three turnovers in a game three times and two turnovers once.

Turnovers have a luck component, but avoiding situations(like third and long) will be key in avoiding giving the Florida Gators momentum.
