Every week we break down the result of the previous Florida State game. Who really played well for the Seminoles against Louisville? Which players played poorly? Where did the coaches do well, and when did they screw up?
Read to find out. Note: there are certain schematic and tendency things we do not discuss in these reviews out of respect for our sources, the school and coaching staff.

| D-D | Spot | Formation | Play | Analysis |
| 1-10 | at Lou35 | FS ball on FS35. | ||
| 19-Roberto Aguayo kickoff 62 yards to the LOU3, out-of-bounds, LOU ball on LOU35. | ||||
| 1-10 | at Lou35 | 8-Lamar Jackson at QB for Louisville. | ||
| 1-10 | at Lou35 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson crossing pass incomplete to 17-James Quick, clock 14:56. | Traditional Petrino call with the drive concept. Northrup vs. Quick is a bad bad matchup for FSU, but luckily Quick drops it. |
| 2-10 | at Lou35 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson rush quarterback scramble for 3 yards to the LOU38 (16-Jacob Pugh), clock 14:35. | Stick concept and Hoskins is in good position, ready to undercut the stick route. Jackson sees his primary receiver covered and tucks it. Nice open field tackle by Northrup. |
| 3-7 | at Lou38 | PENALTY LOU false start (61-Tobijah Hughley) 5 yards to the LOU33, clock 14:09. | Bit of a break here as FSU was not properly lined up or set before the snap. | |
| 3-12 | at Lou33 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson crossing pass complete to 2-Jamari Staples for 14 yards to the LOU47, 1ST DOWN LOU (8-Jalen Ramsey), clock 13:50. | Great job by Derwin James to blow by the guard but he allows Jackson to spin out and complete a deep crosser. |
| 1-10 | at Lou47 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson wide receiver screen left pass complete to 87-Jaylen Smith for 3 yards to the 50 yardline, out-of-bounds (8-Jalen Ramsey), clock 13:28. | Bubble screen. Ramsey defeats the receiver's block and makes the tackle for a short gain. Would like to see him attack the ball carrier and minimize the gain. |
| 2-7 | at Lou50 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson wide receiver screen left pass complete to 87-Jaylen Smith for 9 yards to the FS41, 1ST DOWN LOU (16-Jacob Pugh), clock 13:08. | Receiver slip screen into the boundary. Derwin comes up from the secondary and actually picks Jalen Ramsey who has beaten the receiver's block, allowing the receiver to get inside for a nice gain. |
| 1-10 | at Fs41 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson rush over left end for 7 yards to the FS34 (5-Reggie Northrup), clock 12:29. | QB power play. Derrick Nnadi has got to read the down block and squeeze the hole better than this. |
| 2-3 | at Fs34 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson sideline pass incomplete to 87-Jaylen Smith, QB hurry by 5-Reggie Northrup, clock 12:03. | Louisville OL blows the protection and Northrup is completely unblocked on the blitz. He has to get the QB on the ground, but Jackson is able to spin out before throwing it in the dirt at his receiver's feet. |
| 3-3 | at Fs34 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson sacked for loss of 7 yards to the FS41 (16-Jacob Pugh), clock 11:46. | Play not included in the youtube cut up. |
| 4-10 | at Fs41 | 40-Josh Appleby punt 31 yards to the FS10, fair catch by 3-Jesus Wilson. | ||
| Drive: 8 plays, 24 yards, TOP 03:46 | ||||
| 1-10 | at Fs10 | FLORIDA STATE drive start at 11:14. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs10 | 6-Everett Golson at QB for Florida State. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs10 | 21 Bunch | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over left end for 6 yards to the FS16 (1A-Keith Brown), clock 10:55. | Toss sweep. Dalvin cuts it back inside for a nice gain, but if he allows the blocking to develop around the edge the chance is there for a huge gain. |
| 2-4 | at Fs16 | PENALTY FS false start (77-Roderick Johnson) 5 yards to the FS11, clock 10:47. | Hoefeld didn't snap it. The whole offense moved except for him. | |
| 2-9 | at Fs11 | 00 Empty | 6-Everett Golson slant pass incomplete to 13-Ja'Vonn Harrison (13-James Burgess), clock 10:22. | Levels concept and Golson makes the right read, hitting Pigg Harrison in the slot. The throw is high and the Louisville linebacker times his arrival perfectly, leading to a dropped ball. |
| 3-9 | at Fs11 | 11 Gun | 6-Everett Golson deep pass incomplete to 3-Jesus Wilson, clock 10:17. | Fade route to the boundary. Golson needs to recognize that the corner is over the top and throw this back shoulder where the receiver can come back to it. |
| 4-9 | at Fs11 | 38-Cason Beatty punt 36 yards to the FS47, out-of-bounds. | Walker has got to turn this rusher outside. There's nobody rushing up the middle, so no reason to turn this guy free. | |
| Drive: 3 plays, 1 yards, TOP 01:04 | Not crisp at all on offense right now. | |||
| 1-10 | at Fs47 | LOUISVILLE drive start at 10:10. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs47 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson deep out pass incomplete to 83-Micky Crum, clock 10:04. | Sprint out pass to the deep over route. Pretty good coverage by Brutus forces Jackson to make a perfect throw and he can't. |
| 2-10 | at Fs47 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson rush option right for 6 yards to the FS41 (44-DeMarcus Walker), clock 09:50. | Speed option catches FSU in an End-Tackle twist and there's a big gap. Nile Lawrence Stample needs to keep leverage and not allow the QB to cut back inside him. |
| 3-4 | at Fs41 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson screen pass complete to 7-Reggie Bonnafon for 1 yard to the FS40 (9-Josh Sweat), clock 09:13. | Screen pass is sniffed out by Josh Sweat beautifully. |
| 4-3 | at Fs40 | 40-Josh Appleby punt 26 yards to the FS14, fair catch by 3-Jesus Wilson. | ||
| Drive: 3 plays, 7 yards, TOP 01:28 | ||||
| 1-10 | at Fs14 | FLORIDA STATE drive start at 08:42. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs14 | 22 | 6-Everett Golson rush quarterback draw for 8 yards to the FS22, clock 08:22. | Not sure what is going on with this play. Izzo is blocking all the way while others run pass routes. Golson tucks it and runs almost immediately after surveying the field. Possibly a busted play. |
| 2-2 | at Fs22 | 21 Bunch | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over left guard for 4 yards to the FS26 (55-Keith Kelsey;22-Chucky Williams), PENALTY LOU offside defense (14-Drew Bailey) 5 yards to the FS27, 1ST DOWN FS, NO PLAY, clock 07:53. | Inside zone isn't blocked very cleanly, but solid push from the OL allows Cook to find a lane. |
| 1-10 | at Fs27 | 21 Bunch | 6-Everett Golson screen pass complete to 4-Dalvin Cook for 8 yards to the FS35 (6-Shaq Wiggins;25-Josh Harvey-Clemons), clock 07:23. | Play action screen. Stevenson does not block back inside allowing a defender a free shot at Cook. Cook slips the tackle and turns it into a nice gain. |
| 2-2 | at Fs35 | 11 Pistol Trey | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over right guard for no gain to the FS35 (98-Sheldon Rankins;55-Keith Kelsey), clock 06:32. | Counter trey doesn't get the defense to flow at all and is stoned. Louisville's linebackers are very aggressive and physical. |
| 3-2 | at Fs35 | 10 Gun Trips | 6-Everett Golson middle pass complete to 8W-Kermit Whitfield for 12 yards to the FS47, 1ST DOWN FS (6-Shaq Wiggins), clock 06:03. | Slant flat concept to the trips side. Golson reads the curl/hook defender and hits the slant behind him. Good read. |
| 1-10 | at Fs47 | 12 | 6-Everett Golson deep out pass complete to 88-Mavin Saunders for 21 yards to the LOU32, 1ST DOWN FS, PENALTY LOU pass interference declined, clock 05:51. | Scissors concept off a play action 7 step drop. The post was wide open, but Saunders makes a great grab despite being interfered with on the corner route. |
| Official Review: Call on the field is a complete pass. | ||||
| Official Review: Call on the field stands. | ||||
| 1-10 | at Lou32 | 21 Pistol Train | 6-Everett Golson rush for loss of 10 yards to the LOU42, fumble by 6-Everett Golson, clock 05:10. | Oh man...FSU is running QB sweep on this play and it's going to go for a huge gain. The snap is a little off to the left and Golson is already starting to look right. Put this more on Golson than the snap. |
| 2-20 | at Lou42 | 11 Gun Trips | 6-Everett Golson post pass complete to 3-Jesus Wilson for 16 yards to the LOU26, clock 04:43. | Good job delivering the post on time by Golson, but Bobo has a chance to run with it if Golson keeps the ball up. |
| 3-4 | at Lou26 | 10 Gun Trips | 6-Everett Golson middle right pass incomplete to 3-Jesus Wilson, QB hurry by 92-Devonte' Fields, clock 04:11. | Slip screen to Bobo is blown up when Wilson Bell gives up a pressure. |
| 4-4 | at Lou26 | 19-Roberto Aguayo field goal attempt from 43 GOOD, clock 04:06. | ||
| Florida State 3, Louisville 0 | Missed some big chances on this drive. | |||
| Drive: 9 plays, 60 yards, TOP 04:41 | ||||
| 19-Roberto Aguayo kickoff 58 yards to the LOU7, 4-Corvin Lamb return 14 yards to the LOU21 (18-Ro'Derrick Hoskins;5-Reggie Northrup). | ||||
| 1-10 | at Lou21 | LOUISVILLE drive start at 04:01. | ||
| 1-10 | at Lou21 | 4-2-5 | 7-Reggie Bonnafon rush left for 8 yards to the LOU29 (42-Lamarcus Brutus), clock 03:42. | Inverted veer. Give to the backup QB lined up at tailback and a bad angle/late reaction by Hoskins allows him to get the corner. |
| Injured player for FSU is #20-Marshall. Walks to lockerroom. | ||||
| 2-2 | at Lou29 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson wide receiver screen left pass complete to 87-Jaylen Smith for 1 yard to the LOU30 (18-Ro'Derrick Hoskins;3J-Derwin James). | Trips to the boundary is a screen read all the way. Great defense. |
| 3-1 | at Lou30 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson rush over left end for 4 yards to the LOU34, 1ST DOWN LOU (16-Jacob Pugh), clock 02:42. | QB keeps on the zone read. Demarcus Christmas gets sealed and creates enough of a lane for Jackson to get the first down. |
| 1-10 | at Lou34 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson deep pass complete to 17-James Quick for 48 yards to the FS18, 1ST DOWN LOU, clock 02:25. | Looks like FSU is in Cover 1, and the vertical to the wide side holds Brutus on the far hash. He's got to protect the middle of the field as Reggie Northrup turns #3 loose expecting the deep middle to be covered. |
| 1-10 | at Fs18 | 4-2-5 | 8-Lamar Jackson middle pass complete to 17-James Quick for 18 yards to the FS0, 1ST DOWN LOU, TOUCHDOWN, clock 02:20. | Looks like quarters coverage, meaning Derwin James at safety has to read the pattern distribution and get over the top of the number 3 receiver going vertical. Credit Petrino for running this play at the perfect spot on the field. |
| 45-John Wallace kick attempt good. | ||||
| Louisville 7, Florida State 3 | FSU clearly having trouble identifying responsibilities on compressed vertical stem concepts. | |||
| Drive: 5 plays, 79 yards, TOP 01:41 | ||||
| 45-John Wallace kickoff 65 yards to the FS0, touchback. | ||||
| 1-10 | at Fs25 | FLORIDA STATE drive start at 02:20. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs25 | 21 | 6-Everett Golson deep out pass complete to 3-Jesus Wilson for 20 yards to the FS45, 1ST DOWN FS (15-Trumaine Washington), clock 02:09. | Play action deep out. Golson must place this out front of the receiver. A better DB will pick this ball off. |
| 1-10 | at Fs45 | 21 Pistol Train | 6-Everett Golson rush option left for loss of 4 yards to the FS41 (1A-Keith Brown), clock 01:35. | Golson needs to get upfield aggressively as soon as the force defender widens. Yes, there's an unblocked defender but at least you minimize the loss and have a chance to make the guy miss. |
| 2-14 | at Fs41 | 11 Gun Trips | 6-Everett Golson sacked for loss of 12 yards to the FS29 (91-Trevon Young), clock 00:52. | Wilson Bell gives up another ugly pressure. |
| 3-26 | at Fs29 | 11 Gun | 6-Everett Golson screen pass complete to 8W-Kermit Whitfield for 14 yards to the FS43, out-of-bounds (25-Josh Harvey-Clemons), PENALTY LOU face mask (25-Josh Harvey-Clemons) 15 yards to the LOU42, 1ST DOWN FS, clock 00:10. | Flare screen. Just trying to get some yards back and then Louisville makes a stupid mistake and gifts FSU a first down. |
| 1-10 | at Lou42 | 1st and 10. | ||
| 1-10 | at Lou42 | 00 Gun Empty | 6-Everett Golson wide receiver screen right pass complete to 8W-Kermit Whitfield for 6 yards to the LOU36, out-of-bounds. | Flat screen. Really well defended by the Louisville inside backer, pursuing from the inside out. |
| Drive: 5 plays, 39 yards, TOP 04:13 | ||||
| Louisville 7, Florida State 3 |
