FSU football: Top 5 things to look out for in Miami game
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU Containing D’Eriq King
This area is going to be a huge key to FSU giving themselves a chance to pull off the upset.

Miami’s offensive line isn’t great, and King’s ability to run has gotten them out of some bad situations on offense.
However, Louisville was able to limit King’s use of his legs, as his longest run was five-yards for the game.
FSU got burned several times against Georgia Tech’s Jeff Sims. The Noles either missed tackles or its defensive ends would overrun the play and allow him to escape in some critical situations.
FSU has to make King beat them with his arm. He’s not terrible on the short stuff, and Miami will look to dink and dunk down the field at times.
I’d like to see FSU be physical with Miami’s receivers and get pressure up the middle in King’s face.
He’s of short stature, and that will make it more difficult for him to escape and increase the possibility of batting down a few passes.
