Turnovers
FSU fans appreciate the progression Jordan Travis showed in the passing game from 2020-23. However, the biggest area that gets overlooked when show how valuable Jordan Travis was as the quarterback in Mike Norvell's offense?
Jordan Travis rarely turned the ball over in 2022-23 when FSU went 23-3(not counting the Georgia game when half the team didn't play for good reason).
FSU only turned the ball over 14 times in 2022 and nine times in 2023. Offenses who avoid turning the ball over frequently almost always have much higher winning percentages.
The 2024 offense turned the ball over 22 times, creating tons of short fields for opposing offenses to score.
It's also a huge morale killer to a defense when they get stops on defense and the offense can't do anything or turn the ball over constantly.
The Noles had six games where they had two or more turnovers last year. It's hard to win ball games when an offense operates in this manner.
