Besides kicking, what does the team need to improve most?

My opinion would be the offensive line. I know they probably won't see another defense this talented for quite some time, but they got manhandled too many times tonight. Too often I saw Hurts running for his life or running backs met right at the line of scrimmage. Tom Luginbill claimed that the linemen were winded early in the second quarter. Got to get that resolved.

What do you see as the area most in need of improvement?

OC. Even though FSU's defense is legit, I thought Daboll left a lot to be desired tonight.

Switched over to LSU game. Did Hurts finish with more than 5 yards in the 2nd half? I thought he did what they asked him to do. Can't do better than win.

More of those plays where Damien Harris carries the ball. At least tonight, that would have improved the team by a lot.

Passive offense. Poor blocking and Jalen didn't do us any favors either.

The offense...we can't win out with all these wrinkles. Hopefully, we get them ironed out as the season goes on. But good grief, there were some really bad moments tonight; definitely had flashbacks of the worst parts of last year.

We need to get our killer instinct back on offense. We got what, three straight possessions inside FSU's 40 due to turnovers, and only came away with 11 points?

That game should have been over, for all intents and purposes, by the time the fourth quarter started. We should have been up by 21 to 28 points.

We also have to improve our pass defense. We can't continue to rely on d-linemen batting down balls to stop drives.

On the other hand, we just beat a team most pundits claim was one of the best in the country, and a legitimate playoff contender, by 17 points. Hard to argue with the result.
