FSU football: Three reasons winning against Georgia Tech is crucial

College football will head overseas in Ireland on August 24, with Florida State looking to defeat Georgia Tech in their opening game. The stakes are high in this season opener. With a new quarterback under center, the Noles look to continue their success offensively. Transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is under a lot of pressure. Hopefully, the offensive line will continue to show strength like they did the past two seasons.

Last season, the defense made Florida State one of the most ferocious teams in 2023. The Noles looked scary defensively in the spring game. If the defense brings that same energy into the upcoming season, many opposing offenses will crumble under the pressure. A strong defense will send the Noles back to the ACC Championship and hopefully earn them a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Even though they will play in Ireland, the Noles do not rely on luck, but rather hard work and persistence. Starting strong and finishing strong is key is victory. Let's look at the three reasons winning the opening game against Georgia Tech is crucial for Florida State.

3. International stage

Playing on an international stage is a huge honor for any team. It is the perfect opportunity to show the world the greatness of college football, and the Noles have the privilege of doing so this season. Representing America as one of the best college football teams should motivate the Noles. FSU coming back to the States with a win would be an exciting moment for the individual players and the team as a whole. In this rare opportunity for these athletes, the Noles expect to show up and show out with the world watching.
