FSU football: Offensive issues are mostly lack of execution and decision-making

Listen, FSU has issues on both sides. The defense has struggled to stop the run and failed to cover basic wheel routes. However, running the ball has been the strength of the two offenses they've faced. Also, both have dual-threat quarterbacks, which is more difficult to contain. It's not like Georgia Tech and Boston College consistently ran the ball down their throats in a traditional sense, which brings me to the FSU offense. The offense is the biggest concern because the days of holding offenses to 10 points per game are over. We expected Georgia Tech and Boston College to score around 20 points, and they did for the most part(one of the BC touchdowns was on Mike Norvell's fourth-down decision that gave them a short field).

The biggest issue is that FSU has only scored three touchdowns on 18 possessions against two teams that were among the worst in the ACC/college football last year. Mike Norvell's offenses nearly always average 30+ points per season. If they score touchdowns instead of field goals against Georgia Tech, they likely win the game. The FSU defense forced six punts against Boston College. If the offense scores touchdowns on 6 of their 11 possessions, they win.

The thing is they are not far off. It's the lack of execution and decision-making that cost the FSU offense.
