Florida State’s defensive unit allowed Pittsburgh’s offense to convert on five of its fourteen third downs, which might seem acceptable on paper.
However, there were occurrences where the Seminoles allowed a big gain to set up fourth down and manageable for their offense.
3rd and 7 ➡️ 4th and 1
3rd and 13 ➡️ 4th and 1
3rd and 6 ➡️ 4th and 1
There were also back-breaking moments in the game, where the defense could have got off the field, but instead allowed the Panthers to have life.
3rd and 11 ➡️ 15-yard completion
3rd and 2 ➡️ 12-yard completion
3rd and 6 ➡️ 16-yard run
3rd and 6 ➡️ 50-yard completion
3rd and 14 ➡️ 16-yard touchdown
Hopefully, this time around, the Stanford Cardinal will be contained and the Seminoles will come out of the West Coast trip with a resounding victory. 🍢
