FSU averaged 5.46 a play, Clemson averaged 5.43.
Something is definitely up with FSU. Last year they ran the ball at will against almost everyone. Benson averaged 6.4 YPC, this year he's averaging 4.7.
Toafili's YPC is down half a yard. They lost Ward, replaced him with Rodney Hill, and he's averaging almost a yard less per carry.
Travis is running less, both on scrambles and designed runs. It also seems like they're playing slower than they did last year, for whatever reason.
I don't know, that 2nd half against LSU was impressive, other than that they haven't looked very good. Clemson still has some players, especially on defense, and they were at home....but 17 offensive points? They hit Wilson for 41 yards on the first play of the 3rd quarter.....after that, they ran 25 plays and gained 89 yards. That's 3.56 a play. For context, last year New Mexico finished dead last in the country in YPP. They averaged 3.70.
FSUs six drives in the 2nd half were FG, punt, punt, punt, punt, downs.
They ain't ****.
