Where has the FSU football team that took the opening drive 75 yards on 13 play for a touchdown been all season? Not to mention they went 70 yards on 8 plays for a second touchdown on their next possession.
It was the best this FSU team has looked all year and the defense only allowed NIU to average .875 per play in the first quarter.
The Noles ran 29 offensive plays in the first quarter against NIU. They ran 29 plays in the first HALF against Syracuse. However, after the first two drives the Noles got a bit sloppy with two fumbles, one that put NIU on FSU’s own 23 yard line to start their drive.
