FSU football started the game against Florida trying to compete, but didn’t have enough between terrible tackling, not lining up properly and the referees being dumb.
Florida scored on its opening possession and the Noles matched that touchdown with one of their own with its first possession.
That’s about where the competitiveness ended for the Noles as they were on the end of another loss to a rival with the final score being 40-17.
The FSU offense missed several opportunities to do damage as James Blackman missed some throws.
FSU’s defense had no answers for the Gators’ short passing game.
