By the Numbers: Florida State defense regressing under Charles Kelly
Florida State defensive coordinator Charles Kelly has been a polarizing figure since he took over the FSU defense in 2014.
It wasn't going to be easy to follow the 2013 defense no matter what happened during Kelly's tenure.
That defense held opponents to just 12.1 points per game,Authentic Eric Fisher Jersey, the lowest in the country that season, and one of four teams this decade to hold opponents to under 12.5 ppg for a season.
But Kelly's defense has doubled that mark in three of the four years -- including this season -- that he's been at the helm.
And it's not like FSU struggled on defense before the 2013 season either. womens Demetrius Harris Jersey
In the first three years of the Jimbo Fisher era at FSU -- 2010-2012 -- FSU finished 20th (19.8), fourth (15.1),Authentic Albert Wilson Jersey, and sixth (14.7) nationally in ppg allowed.

They're average.
But average doesn't cut it at FSU.
Not when FSU has brought in four recruiting classes that have been ranked in the top 6 in that span and three in the top 4.
There have been blue chip recruits littered all over the field for the Seminoles. The 2017 unit is currently starting five former five-star recruits.
Safety Derwin James and cornerback Tarvarus McFadden are projected first round picks in the 2018 NFL draft and defensive end Josh Sweat is working his way into consideration for that as well.Authentic Mitchell Schwartz Jersey,
He's also had No. 5 overall pick Jalen Ramsey and DeMarcus Walker -- who left FSU with the third most sacks in program history -- at his disposal for multiple seasons.
It's not just the ppg stats that paint the whole picture. The FSU defense has been deficient in other key stats as well.

Pass defense has been just as much of a struggle during that time despite elite talent in the secondary.
From 2010-2013 FSU allowed a passer rating of over 115 just once with two seasons in the 90s. FSU finished first in 2012 (95.42) and second in 2013 (93.77). womens Dee Ford Jersey
