Major upgrade against Loserville with 21 first downs overall and we didn't put ourselves in 3rd and long (8.8 average going into FSU) as we have all year. We still are at 28.57% on third down for the season which is putrid but felt that the way Enos called plays and our guys executed we really stayed ahead in the downs than behind. A underrated piece on why we put up 52 points. Need to keep this up over the last 2 games including bowl game.

That was likely the worst defense statistically we faced all year. Good win but I am not going to look to much into the numbers.

We struggled against teams worst defensively so I’ll take it. We didn’t even look that good offensively against teams like cmu and Bethune so again I’ll take it. Louisville has beaten some pretty good football teams

yes but we didn't stoop down to their level and played up which is a sign of progress. Enos didn't make us scream at the TV this last game the way he has all season long for which we should all be grateful for
 
5 of 10 on third downs. Much improved and one of those came in the fourth when we were just burning time.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but this is a multi-coach, multi-year problem, it won't be solved that quickly. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I don't think we've really solved that issue yet.
