Defense, Defense, Defense!
Last week vs Toledo a lot of us were concerned with what we saw from this Defense, but this team rallied in a short week & stepped up to the plate to answer the challenge!
El Jefe made a return tonight, yes we still had some lapses where we gave up yards but overall, we completely shut down this Duke team in the 2nd half just like we did last year.
DEFENSE - 11TFL's, 5sacks & 2 Turnovers. Held Daniel Jones to just 21/41 for 166yds 0TD's & 1INT & 1Fumble.

OFFENSE - Gained 409yds Total, 4-12 on 3rd down, 139yds Rushing & 270yds Passing

- Braxton Berrios 2rec 52yds 1TD
- Lawrence Cager 3rec 27yds
Overall, was very happy with how we played, short week of prep & just getting back into the grove of things after Irma & we really came out to ball tonight.
We definitely had some issues with playcalling after that 1st quarter, the Offense became stagnant & we looked like the Canes from last year during the 4 game slide, but our Defense showed up big time & we handled our business.
Our OL struggled quite a bit at times with Duke's DL, especially DT Mike Ramsay (who I highlighted in my pre game Breakdown earlier this week). He really feasted on a young Donaldson who is still learning how to deal with quick rushers.
Really hope Walton can get healthy enough to be 100% for FSU, he was not himself played on an injured ankle but still had some key plays for us this game.
The Return of "Young God" Ahmmon was imminent! And Berrios is still balling!
Rosier looked good early & tailed off throughout the game, he's a guy that's going to be Hot/Cold, when he's Cold Richt's gotta help him out by calling some easy rhythm throws to get him back in the game.
Redzone Offense was ******, Richt needs to get way more creative on the Goaline, not having traditional 3TE's & FB for Max protection is no excuse. We have Langham, Cager, Ahmmon, Herndon & Irvin Jr, throw the ball when the runs get stuffed. Quick Slant/Corner Fade= Easy TD's.
On Defense, Mike Pinckney & Chad Thomas were the Defensive MVP's, they really set the tone for us throughout the game especially Pinckney with that huge stop on 4th down to force a turnover on Downs & the INT he got. He was an absolute MONSTER!
The Defensive Line really showed up and balled out for us, Major 9, JJack, DJack, McIntosh, Norton, Moten & Bethel were pure hunters out there!
The DB's played really well also, Malek Young did a great job shutting down TJ Rahming their top WR & Redwine did a terrific job Tacking, he really wrapped up great.
Ultimately, this was a great W for this team, even though it was a against Duke don't diminish this victory, a 4-0 Coastal opponent on the road that had the #1 ranked run Defense & a very formidable pass rush, to go with a good rushing attack on Offense & we shut their asses down!
