Overall, I thought the offensive gameplan was sound. FSU denies one pass away, which can disrupt offensive flow, but it means that their help defenders are often not in a good position to stop drives. It was clear that Kihei and Braxton had the green light to drive at their defender (especially with a switched big on them) over and over again; the bigs were clearing a side and sealing their man to try to open the lane even more. It wasn’t always successful, but the theory was solid.
