The defense for FSU football was the better phase of the team in 2018. They finished No. 37 according to SP advanced metrics but still underwhelmed a lot of times.
FSU defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett has had a history of showing improvement as his players learn his scheme and get more experienced.
That’s why I thought them facing a true freshman QB making his first college start on the road would be a great way to start the season.
However, after giving up over 600 total yards at nearly six yards per play there were a lot of questions about this 2019 FSU defense.
