Florida State’s slow starts have been a hindrance to the Seminoles ever since its national title season of 2013. And that season’s success was in no small part due to some great starting field position. During that campaign, the ’Noles averaged more kick-return yards than any other FBS program in the country, at 28.16 yards per attempt. But even when things didn’t go too swimmingly in the return game, FSU had Jameis Winston on hand to compensate and quickly make up the field position.
Since 2013, Florida State has somewhat flailed in the return game, dropping as low as No.
