Offensive Line

This is arguably the most important position unit on the team so I couldn’t pick out just one player here. This offense will go as the offensive line goes.

The good news is this unit has been a fairly good run blocking team the past few years with a 1,000 yard rusher every year since 2013.

Willie Taggart’s offense will feature the run and FSU’s stable of running backs is among the best in the nation.

Players like Derrick Kelly, Landon Dickerson, Cole Minshew and Alec Eberle return a lot of experience.

The offensive needed to get in better shape and stronger in the off-season to run he up tempo offense Coach Taggart likes to feature and they appear to be doing that.

As long as the injury bug stays away I think this unit will be much improved. All they have to do is hold up a bit better against the pass rush and the quarterback needs to get rid of the ball a bit quicker than in years past.
