FSU football: Will Noles will face several legit offenses in 2022?
By Kelvin Hunt
Teams At A Glance
FSU played against every quarterback they’ll face this year except whoever LSU and Louisiana trot out there.
LSU will have a new QB and a top WR target in Kayshon Boutte. However, they have questions on the offensive line and at tight end.
Louisville lost their top two wide receivers but added two from the portal. They will also return most of their offensive line.
Boston College lost a lot from their offensive line, though FSU beat Phil Jurkovec like a drum last year. They return their top wide receiver.
Wake Forest returns most of their production from last season and will likely be a top offense again.
NC State lost their left tackle to the NFL but return experience on the offensive line and their top two receivers. The Wolfpack has question marks at running back.
Clemson was awful offensively, and there’s no way they can be that terrible again, right? Clemson has good options at running back and some talented but unproven wide receivers. They return most of their offensive line in 2022 and have a new offensive coordinator.
FSU faced Jeff Sims from Georgia Tech in 2020. I should note Clemson QB Taisun Phommachanh and Akron’s Zach Gibson transferred to GT and will compete for that job. The Yellow Jackets lost their top running back and second-leading receiver to the portal. They will also have a new offensive coordinator and new faces on the OL.
FSU beat Miami’s Tyler Van Dyke in his sixth career start, and they lost their top two wide receivers. They have to replace two starters on the offensive line and have a new offensive coordinator.
Syracuse was one-dimensional last year and couldn’t pass the ball, and looks to be more of the same in 2022.
Louisiana lost a lot from their team when Billy Napier took the head coaching job at Florida.
Florida returns QB Anthony Richardson, who played at times last season but has a lot of question marks at WR, OL, and tight end.
