With some lucky bounces going their way, Florida State’s first two drives against NIU were more or less what the Gulf Coast Offense is supposed to look like. After the explosive start, the offense slowed considerably, and offensive coordinator Walt Bell says that, while the first two drives were confidence boosters, they still aren’t living up to their standards.
“I wouldn’t say we’re anywhere close to the standard,” Bell said. “We’re not as good as we need to be. I think every week the goal—win, lose, or draw, is just be better than you were last week. Just continuous improvement.
