The FSU football passing attack was used a lot in 2018 because the Noles couldn’t run the ball and they were behind early and often.
The passing game struggled for a variety of reason. The inability to run against five men in the box in most games meant more defenders in the secondary.
An inaccurate QB in Deondre Francois didn’t help, nor did an offensive line that allowed defenders to penetrate with ease.
Despite those factors, tight-end Tre McKitty finished the season tied for fourth with 26 receptions. He had 256 receiving yards and two touchdowns which was a huge increase from the lone reception for 23 yards he had his freshman season.
