What went right, what went wrong on defense for FSU in a dominant victory over Syracuse

Dino Babers post-game said Garett Shrader dealt with food poisoning pre-game.

Eating grass all day did not help.

From minute 1 to minute 60, the Florida State defense played fast, aggressively, and bullied Syracuse all afternoon. Shyheim Brown and Kalen DeLoach set the tone with a sack on the game's first play, and the Seminoles never looked back. Even during the response drives by the Orange, Florida State continued to get stops on third down and forced field goals, not touchdowns. Even the issues that plagued them the last few games, explosive QB runs and poor discipline, did not rear its ugly head.
