FSU football: Three reasons winning against Georgia Tech is crucial

1. Sets the tone for rest of the season

Winning the season opener will set the tone for the rest of the season. Historically, Florida State has had winning seasons after opening game wins especially in the past decade. Vice versa, losing game openers usually doesn't fare well for the Noles. The lousiest seasons in the past decade have resulted from game opening losses.

After being cheated out of the College Football Playoff last season, this opening win will be a huge confidence and momentum booster for the Noles. Winning on an international stage helps with that as well. The more confident the Noles have, the better they will play, which will lead to a successful season. This historic game is just the first step on the road to greatness for this football dynasty.
