Florida State’s defense has been a topic of concern throughout the season, and nothing is more evident of that when it’s crunch time.
Over the past three games, FSU’s defense has been tested on a final, last desperation drive by the opposing offense which has trailed by no more than seven points each time.
With the opponent trailing, pinned deep in their own territory down by one score and with less than two minutes remaining in the game, the defense should be anticipating that a rapid fire of passing plays are going to be called. Despite anticipating those passing plays being called, or any plays in general, FSU still hasn’t been able to defend them as well as they had been up to that point in the game.
