I expected FSU football to have a top 20 defense in 2018 with a shot at top 10 based on what Harlon Barnett accomplished at Michigan State.
His defense finished No. 4 in 2017 at Michigan State with less talent, not to mention FSU would be facing a lot of mediocre quarterbacks on the 2018 schedule.
Well, it’s safe to say none of that happened as the ‘Noles lack of depth at linebacker and poor play at safety became evident early and teams began to exploit it as they finished ranked No. 41 according to S&P metrics.
