FSU football: 3 EASY ways to improve offense next week against Boston College

Use Elite Speed and Big Arm

While watching the game on Saturday, I kept thinking that Mike Norvell was setting Georgia Tech up for a vertical pass down the field the way he kept forcing the running game. I can only recall two deep vertical attacks for the entire game. The coaching staff spent all offseason recruiting elite speed at the receiver position and got a quarterback who could throw the ball nearly 80 yards in the air, only to never rarely Georgia Tech deep. What are we doing? The few times FSU looked to throw deep Uiagalelei had time. He was only sacked once(really twice, but one sack got negated by a facemask penalty).

The first throw is against a three-man rush, with Georgia Tech dropping eight players in coverage. The second throw is against a four-man rush safety blitz and a guy spying on Uiagalalei. Uiagalelei has no problem making either throw. I know Georgia Tech's secondary isn't great, which is another reason FSU should have put the ball in the air more down the field. If FSU connects on a few of these early, that forces Georgia Tech to respect the run game more.
