LSU-FSU looked like it was headed to overtime—until it wasn’t RJ_Writes breaks down how the Noles’ special teams strategy won them their opener
. One team’s playmaking ability is often another team’s gaffe exploited. The fact is, LSU had issues that led up to that point, which in retrospect made the blocked kick an unfortunate culmination of a night of protection woes.
Tigers senior Cameron Wire actually does an admirable job of anchoring when two Florida State defenders drive him nearly all the way back into Ramos as he completes his kicking motion. LSU benefits from the fact that the operation time is good. Anything greater than the optimal 1.3 seconds and Ramos may have had to alter his stroke, causing an errant kick or the kick hitting Wire in the back.FSU again sends two defenders at Wire, but this time in a slightly different fashion.
The personnel change he’s talking about is Wire coming out for No. 50 Emery Jones. FSU doesn’t really attempt to fully rush LSU the next two times the field goal unit is on the field for the made PATs on LSU’s two touchdowns, but on the final PAT—as we’ve all seen—the Noles bring the heat and get the block.This time, the pressure comes one gap to the left between Jones and tight end Mason Taylor , who’s playing the wing at the end of the line of scrimmage for the Tigers.
