Florida State’s defense is reeling, ranking among the worst in the FBS after seven games, allowing 27.9 points and 434.9 total yards per game. The Seminoles’ struggles under Tony White’s 3-3-5 scheme have supporters asking tough questions: Is the system flawed, or are the athletes not living up to expectations?
