FSU is down 17-3 at the half, despite outgaining Virginia Tech 5.9 to 5.2/play. Special teams are the main culprit for the deficit for the Seminoles, while the offense and defense have both had ups and downs.
The crowd was ready to erupt. Through a day of wet tailgating, and with the threat of more rain, a packed house came and was ready to explode. But Virginia Tech took them out of the game by jumping out to an early lead.
Virginia Tech picked on FSU’s linebackers early on with the run game, and on FSU’s safeties with the screen game.
