Game Preview: Florida

Florida Stateâs emotions are running high after a massive win over Indiana Wednesday night. The overtime thriller left a lot to be desired on the offensive end of things, but defensively Florida State was still phenomenal (for the most part). Very few teams have post threats like Trayce Jackson-Davis, so itâs not a huge concern moving forward, at least to me.
FSU now moves on to face a Florida team that looks⦠a lot like what Florida State wants to do: run, shoot the ball well, play athletic defense. Weâll get into exactly what Florida wants to do in a second, but this is a big chance for an inexperienced Florida State to get their 41st straight non-conference home win and their 7th straight win in the Sunshine Showdown.
