Florida State’s defense took care of business in a 37-19 win over Northern Illinois, moving the Seminoles to 2-2 on the season and one step closer to bowl eligibility.
Coming into the game, NIU’s offense ranked 128th in the nation and it showed. The Huskies struggled to move the ball down the field, racking up only 221 total yards in the game. FSU’s defense limited the Huskies to just 52 yards in the first half at 2.3 yards per play.
While the defense played well for the most part, it was Florida State’s offense that gave them poor field position.
