Jaylin Lucas

FSU gadget player Jaylin Lucas had two rushes for 13 yards and one reception for five yards. Here's the interesting part. The first two touches came on the first offensive possession, and the final touch was on FSU's second offensive possession. What happened to the rest of the final five possessions? I understand that FSU only had seven total offensive possessions, but why go away from a guy who can create in multiple ways and is capable of explosive plays if they can get him in space?

The three plays he touched the ball averaged six yards per play. I'm not saying Jaylin Lucas needs to get 10-15 touches a game, but probably at least 5-6. A pass to Lucas with him matched up against a linebacker is a complete mismatch, especially with how Georgia Tech sold out coming downhill against the run. I anticipate Boston College will do similar things, and Jaylin Lucas has the potential to do damage each time he touches the ball.
