FSU notebook: Jimbo Fisher questions officiating, Dalvin Cook injury update - Orlando Sentinel
In a rush
FSU’s improved pass rush took a step back against Wake Forest.
The numbers were fine – FSU had two sacks and affected the quarterback with a sack or hurry once every 21 drop-backs – but Fisher said after the game that he was not pleased with how often his team had to blitz.
Getting pressure with just four rushers will be critical for FSU’s success against Miami and competent dual-threat quarterback Brad Kaaya.
FSU’s sack percentage of 6.06 is 57th nationally. Miami is allowing a sack on just 2.52 percent of passing attempts, which is 13th nationally. The Hurricanes do not get sacked frequently and have enough downfield weapons to beat FSU vertically, meaning there's an extra emphasis on getting to Kaaya with four defenders this week.
“It’s very important because [Kaaya] is a great athlete,” said defensive end DeMarcus Walker, who had 1.5 sacks against Wake Forest. “He can make stuff happen with his feet.”
Fisher cited Wake Forest’s scheme – which calls for a lot of run-pass options – as a reason why his rushers couldn’t pin their ears back and attack the quarterback. The fact Wake Forest was allowed to remain two-dimensional in the second half when the Seminoles couldn’t increase the lead to three scores didn’t help either.
Looks like they don't watch film.
