Although it may be an illusion; Kelly was a completely different coordinator last night.
Fsu defense has struggled for a lot of the same reasons ours did under Golden. Florida boys and 5 star athletes have a tough time sitting back watching plays develop as opposed to attacking them like they were brought up to do.
Kelly played a lot of aggressive man coverage. He hasnt coached a game that agressive since he was hired.
That is a fact and it changes the whole "fsu defense suck" narrative.
Imo, Kelly was extremely confident in letting his defense play aggressive because kaaya is a statue and our O-line is a liability.
With the aggressive presnap alignments the Rpos were null and void. We were forced to adjust our game and we couldnt. They dared us to throw it deep and it seems as if Richt was too afraid to leave kaaya in the pocket for a deep ball.
Fsu defense may suck and Kelly will probably go back to the hot seat; but football is a game of matchups and our weaknesses were exposed a bit.
Sidenote:
Also we forget that Kaaya has full autonomy to check in and out of plays. How can we truly know if Richt or Kaaya is to blame for the playcalling when we dont what plays kaaya could check in and out of?
We will just go ahead and blame the coach on this one.
Richt/kaaya called a good enough game to put us in position to go up 20-3 with all the momentum.
Kaaya screwed us with that pic and also placed a magnifying glass on every aspect of the game by doing so.
I dont think we are nearly as critical of the game without that pic.
Richts going to have to do some real soul searching and figure out whether he wants to call plays and match wits on gameday with DCs because he had no adjustments for kellys adjustments and didnt trust our players enough if he did. We gotta be able to change on the fly.
