  "account": "Florida State's 44-20 loss to Louisville exposed several weaknesses on the field, according to Pro Football Focus' (PFF) analysis. The defense was particularly vulnerable, as the Seminoles failed to maintain their early two-touchdown advantage. PFF's individual grades shed light on which players struggled most. The Seminoles' bottom five performers, based on PFF's grading system, are as follows:\n\n1. Jalen Anderson (EDGE) – 40.8: Anderson played the most snaps (15) out of the bottom five, earning a 47.5 run-defense grade, 46.5 tackling grade, and highest of the group for pass-rush at 46.7.\n2. Deamontae Diggs (EDGE) – 52.3: Diggs finished with the lowest grade among the bottom five, despite a strong 61.0 pass-rush grade. His overall grade came from a modest 19 snaps, with a 50.5 opposing the run and 28.3 in tackling.\n3. Ma'khi Jones (DB) – 50.2: Playing 49 defensive snaps, Jones showed promise with a 65.6 run-defense grade. However, his 27.0 tackling grade and 44.5 coverage grade significantly impacted his overall evaluation.\n4. Ricky Knight III (DB) – 45.4: Knight appeared in just five defensive snaps but still received a 45.4 overall grade. His 47.6 run-defense grade and 20.4 tackling mark ranked him third from the bottom.\n5. Antonio Cromartie Jr. (S) – 44.5: Cromartie's limited involvement (only two defensive snaps) resulted in an overall grade of 44.5, with a 52.0 run-defense grade and 20.4 tackling grade.",
