FSU football: 5 defensive players who should play more against Boston College

The Noles returned from Ireland on Monday and will look to turn the page from a disastrous performance in the opening week against Georgia Tech. Bettors have hammered the Boston College side, and the point spread has gone from -23 to -15.5. The latter is still too high for most FSU football fans to digest after last week. As bad as FSU played, they were a handful of plays away from winning the game. We've indicated some easy fixes for the offense and the defense going into week two. Most teams improve the most between weeks one and two, so take solace in that.

Many defensive issues stemmed from new players playing in a new defense. Every player must execute their job for the defense to be effective. Truthfully, FSU was in a position to make several plays, but completely whiffed on tackles, took poor angles, or didn't seem to play with any urgency. A lot of the issues can be fixed by taking a couple of guys who played a lot of snaps off the field. Here are five guys I want to see more of on the defensive side of the ball.
