In a year where Florida State is in real danger of not making a bowl game for the first time since 1979, it’s not surprising that they are still searching for answers. For the first time this season, head coach Willie Taggart did not call the plays on offense, handing them off to offensive coordinator Walt Bell. That wasn’t the only first— sophomore James Blackman got the start in replacing redshirt junior Deondre Francois.
The process was noticeably better, but unfortunately the result was largely similar to what FSU fans have been familiar with this season.
