Reasons why we lost:
1. Offensive Line: They really screwed us the entire game. Kaaya did not play well but it's obvious that this position group is our weakest, HANDS DOWN! Running game is putrid and they just all around are a very below average power 5 line.
2. Pennalties: Berrios's facemask, Coley's false start, Darling's hold....we had the opportunities but did not convert. Good teams play disciplined throughout the entire game.
3. Kaaya: There are two factions on this board it seems like. The first thinks Kaaya sucks and the other thinks hes really good. The answer lies in between. He is a solid qb but not elite by any stretch of the imagination. Is not mobile, lacks pocket awareness, and struggles to stay consistent with accuracy throughout the game. He will win you some games but lose you others because of that lack of consistency. It is sad, but the gods honest truth.
4. Recievers: They seemed blanketed all night, could not create as much separation as they should. We need to improve there. Also, a couple of drops obviously hurt us.
5. Defense got gassed: You cannot expect them to hold FSU all game, the offense left them out to dry with multiple three and outs and we paid the price for it. You could tell this was the case when FSU began to run the ball at will in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
6. Richt's playcalling: I think its obvious but Richt is also very inconsistent. Some plays, I'm like "alright Richt, good call", and others I am completely scratching my head. We ran exclusively up the middle all night and got blown up every time. We need to vary our run game significantly. Also he should have elected to go with the onside kick at the end.
7. Longsnapper: Ya...well this goes without saying. Very poor snap and ya....
Overall: Let's be honest with ourselves, our team is way better than the past couple of years but were just not quite there. We lack solid players at some key positions and Richt simply got outcoached in the second half. It hurts, but it is what it is. Keep your heads up Cane fans, I do believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
