Was a pretty clean game overall. No turnovers, I think only 1 sack, very limited number of possessions.
In those types of games, it’s very easy to identify the winner. It’s usually the teams with the better performance at the line of scrimmage. GT won BOTH lines. Averaged 5.3 a carry to FSU’s 3.2.
And they had the better QB play. King averaged 9.1 per attempt, DJU only 7.1.
For context, 9.1 yards per pass attempt would have ranked 8th best in the country last year.
7.1 would have ranked 58th best.
GT deserved to win, plain and simple. They were more physical on both sides and had the better QB.
It’s what makes me confident in our game on Saturday. I think Miami is better on both lines than Florida, and has the better QB. Most of the time, those teams win. But we gotta go prove that.
