For the fourth year in a row, and fifth time in six years, the game between Florida State and North Carolina State was a hard-fought one, with the Wolfpack leading all game before pulling away with a little under ten minutes. With Florida State starting a freshman quarterback, its defense was going to have to step up and limit scoring opportunities to give it an easier shot at winning.
That didn’t exactly happen.
Defensively, we saw some good and bad, with a bit more of the latter after such an impressive showing out against Alabama. Florida State’s offense didn’t actually put the defense in that terrible of a position (outside of the whole, you know, not consistently scoring points thing), with the Seminoles’ outgaining the Wolfpack.
