Miami Offensive Line

The Miami offensive line isn’t anything special this season, and this is arguably where FSU will have the biggest advantage in the game. Miami’s Tyler Van Dyke hasn’t played many teams with a solid pass rush, and has one of the better defensive lines in the ACC.


Miami’s offensive line ranks No. 110 nationally in sacks allowed(same as FSU), but most of FSU’s sacks allowed happen when McKenzie Milton is the quarterback. That won’t be the case Saturday afternoon. Miami allowed four sacks against Pittsburgh two weeks ago, and three sacks to a dreadful Georgia Tech defense in their last outing.

When it comes to tackles for loss allowed, Miami ranked No. 112 nationally(FSU ranked No. 84 and is even better when Jordan Travis is the QB). FSU’s defense ranked No. 24 nationally with 63 tackles for a loss.
