Mike Norvell's Offensive Prowess

One reason I give FSU an edge over most teams is the coaching staff. The level of detail and planning is unparalleled, and they always seem to maximize their strengths against opposing team weaknesses. The 2022 receiving unit had guys running wide open all the time. Remember Ontaria Wilson torching the Miami defensive back for the first touchdown of that game? Remember Johnny Wilson running wide-open against Louisville and Oklahoma? Remember Lawrance Toafili on those wheel routes? Those receivers also attacked the middle of the field with Mycah Pittman. I trust Mike Norvell and the coaching staff to maximize what these guys do well.

The good news is they have more size and way more speed than the 2022 team. That team's offense finished top 10 nationally, according to FEI advanced metrics. Health will be a major factor in their success, and the 2022 team saw Mycah Pittman play hurt most of the year but still contributed to their success. Nearly all of these receivers have experience in double-digit games and enough college experience to make a sizeable jump in production just like Johnny Wilson did in 2022. I trust the coaching staff to maximize the talent and avoid a major drop-off from last year in the passing game.
