Treshaun Ward/Jashaun Corbin
The FSU running game looked great Saturday afternoon, with Treshaun Ward and Jashaun Corbin complimenting Jordan Travis.
Ward finished the game with 77 yards on 12 carries for a 6.4-yard average. Corbin got banged up with what looked like an ankle injury but continued to play.
He finished the game with 52 rushing yards on 13 carries for a 4-yard average.
What does a winning play look like?

Treshaun Ward:
UNC gets penetration on run blitz vs. backup RG (everything is blocked up really well, peep 76 at LT).
Ward breaks tackle with nifty spin. Then balance to stay up after contact. Cuts to force another miss. Power. Wow. pic.twitter.com/iot09ZU1Vu
Both guys had runs of near 15+ yards in the game and ran physical in between the tackles. Both guys are among the national leaders in yards per carry average with 7.41 (Corbin) and 7.39 (Ward), respectively.
They were also a large part of the reason why the FSU offense converted third downs 70 percent of the time.
If they were not running the ball, they did a good job in pass protection to help the FSU offense avoid any sacks allowed in the game.
