Noles News: UVA is a bad matchup for FSU but the ‘Noles can still win

Florida State faces a difficult stylistic challenge against Virginia this weekend as the Cavaliers rely heavily on a ground game that attacks the A-gap. The Seminoles struggled to stop the run and allowed Central Arkansas to control the clock for nearly forty minutes in their previous outing, prompting defensive coordinator Tony White to apologize to his backups for the lost playing time.

Virginia enters the matchup as a favorite according to metric rankings, averaging forty-four rushing attempts per contest. To counter this mismatch, analysts suggest stacking the box to force the Cavaliers into passing situations.

Offensively, Florida State continues to lean on the productive receiving of Duce Robinson, who recently recorded a strong performance against Alabama and is drawing positive attention as an NFL draft prospect.
