A deeper dive into the numbers shows that offensive volatility and a major discrepancy in field position led to the Rebs' Week 1 loss.
On the surface, Florida State’s 22-point comeback against Ole Miss on Monday night was shocking. It’s understandable how an objective viewer may have seen Ole Miss put up four quick touchdowns while doing a decent job of preventing the Noles from finishing drives and wonder why some similar version of that flow of events wouldn’t continue for the remainder of the game. However, when the trailing team is the one with considerably more talent across a wider range of positions, some return to expected normalcy is pretty much destined to happen.
