We are less than 60 days away from the FSU football team’s first game of the 2024 season, where they will face off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Dublin, Ireland.
The long offseason has left fans weary of repetitive social media debates with rival fans. Meanwhile, media pundits are starting to recycle their commentary in search of fresh material, with the EA Sports football game becoming a hot topic.
In my opinion, the game’s offense and defense ratings for FSU are unfairly low, especially compared to teams like Colorado that haven’t performed as well over the past two years.
Recently, veteran FSU podcaster Bud Elliot shared his thoughts on these ratings, suggesting that FSU’s goal should be to achieve a top-25 offense in 2024. While he doesn’t explicitly doubt this possibility, he implies there could be a significant decline from last year’s offensive performance. It’s true that FSU lost key players to the NFL Draft, including Jordan Travis, Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson,
Trey Benson, and Jaheim Bell. However, I don’t anticipate such a drastic drop-off. In fact, I believe this year’s offense could surpass last year’s. Here are five reasons why, but first, let’s review last year’s offensive statistics.
