FSU football: Top 5 things FSU defense must do to limit Georgia Tech offense

Great Eye Discipline

I mentioned Georgia Tech's use of motion and lots of window dressing pre-snap. This is where not having multiple-years of experience in the system like Kalen DeLoach and Tatum Bethune could come into play at the linebacker position. DJ Lundy has experience and is usually great against the run. However, he'll team with Cam Riley, Blake Nichelson, Justin Cryer or someone else that's only been in the system a year or less.

This is when mistakes can occur allowing explosive plays in the run and passing game. We saw it on the first play of the LSU game in the season opener last season. FSU players must play with a high football IQ, understanding down and distances and trusting their keys. The good news is FSU has an outstanding secondary who should matchup well with the Georgia Tech skill positions. FSU knows Georgia tech wants to run the ball more often than not, and that should play to their advantage. However, discipline and trusting their eyes and preparation is a must.
