Notre Dame’s huge lead over FSU in this crucial statistic

Florida State’s offense is unbelievably awful

Just one season after going 13-0 in the ACC, Florida State is now 1-8 wondering how everything in the program regressed and collapsed. Morale is low. Criticism is great.

The questions are many and the answers are nowhere to be found. The last thing the Seminoles want to do this week is travel to Notre Dame to face the Irish in South Bend.

Florida State’s offensive line is rotten. The QB play, no matter who it is, has not been good enough and the winning plays just aren’t happening.

The Seminoles are currently 133rd out of 134 in PPG, averaging just 14 PPG. Let’s just say the offense is struggling a little at the wrong time.

Notre Dame’s defense should be able to celebrate

The worst part of Florida State’s team is its offense. The best part of Notre Dame’s team is the defense, which is a top-5 unit that allows just over 12 PPG.

That’s a huge problem for the Seminoles, especially on the road and in possibly cooler, wetter conditions.

I fully expect the Irish defense to stifle any offensive hope the Seminoles have left and set the tone for what should be a November to remember for Notre Dame as it marches toward a CFP berth. Florida State’s biggest weaknesses play right into Notre Dame’s strengths.

All that’s left to do is for the Irish to be who they are, take care of business and move on.
