Jackson Bakich breaks down the game within the game before Florida State takes on the Yellow Jackets in Ireland.
The Florida State Seminoles will face off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday at noon in a Week 0 season opener. This is the first timehas started its season a week early since they squared off against Duquesne in 2022 and then went on to beat LSU in New Orleans the following week.
However, the secondary did allow 216 yards through the air per game last season, solid enough for 53rd in the country. On the same token, GT only forced 21 sacks in 2023. If the FSU can keep DJU’s jersey clean and give him enough time for receivers to get downfield, then viewers could see Florida State challenge the highly-touted Georgia Tech secondary.This is perhaps the most favorable matchup for the Seminoles, as there are two major components.
If GT’s secondary does in fact play farther off the ball out of respect for FSU’s deep threat, then containing the run game will need to be a simultaneous priority. If Florida State’s running backs reach the second level, there should be more room to run than normal. Also, I forgot to mention that the Yellow Jackets were third-to-worst in the country in rushing defense as they allowed 221 yards per game.
The second component is that Florida State has five, maybe six running backs in its unit that head coach Mike Norvell and RB coach David Johnson feel comfortable rotating in, which could wear down the GT run defense deep in the second half. If you are familiar with Florida State basketball in the late 2010s and early 2020s, a deep bench – especially at the running back position, can make you incredibly hard to stop.Born in Orlando but raised in Lake County, Florida, Jackson Bakich is currently a senior at Florida State University.
