Usually, a bye week translates to better execution and a higher-quality product, but at least to begin the day, Florida State’s offense looked no different.
The first 11-on-11 period resulted in a mix of three yards and a cloud of dust, batted balls at the line of scrimmage, and a struggle to find a rhythm. Their difficult morning worsened when the team reconvened in the middle of practice. The FSU defensive line lived in the offensive backfield as nothing worked. The execution took a step in reverse, with receivers losing their footing and balls being snapped over the quarterback’s head.
