Looks like the offense didn’t help the defense much in 2017. Normally the coach running an offense that bad would get fired. Wait…
Yes, I know FSU had a true freshman take over at QB, so that should be a good excuse, right? Hmmmm. Didn’t UGA get to the title game with a true freshman? Didn’t a true freshman come into the title game and win it?
