Gotta Find Offensive Line Solutions

The offensive issues for the Noles against Wake Forest largely stemmed from offensive line woes.

FSU struggled to run the ball consistently against a team that had been average or worse against the run.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis looked uncomfortable more than any time I can remember this season. The offensive tackle positions are the biggest issue, as Jordan Travis had pressure from the edges quite a bit.

Penalties along the offensive line for holding or false starts put the offense behind the chains way too much.

Injuries to players they planned to play significant minutes is the biggest culprit, and the FSU coaching staff will have to make adjustments in personel or with playcalling.

Can the coaching staff risk playing someone like Julian Armella against defenses with top defensive lineman like NC State and Clemson?

Can the coaching staff scheme around the offensive line issues like they have over the past two years? Either way, the coaching staff has a decision to make, or these issues will persist.
