After an up and down beginning of the season that saw the Florida State coaching staff tinkering with several personnel and formation experiments, the Noles really clamped down after BC. Florida State held 6 of their last 9 opponents to their worst or second worst offensive performance of the year. What’s impressive about that is in several of those games, the starters only played the first half. In all, the Noles held 6 teams to under 4 yards per play.
