FSU football: 5 reasons win over Miami widens gap between programs

FSU Has Tons Of Young Talent
I know Miami media loves to promote they play true freshmen a lot(but mostly only against terrible teams early in the season).
Miami fans attempt to imply that FSU heavily depends on the transfer portal for a lot of their production.
That’s the benefit of attracting players of that caliber. Unfortunately, Miami doesn’t have the cache’ to do that. However, FSU has stockpiled quality blue-chip talent over the last two recruiting cycles.
The entire 2022 offensive line class has been working and developing to step into the lineup in 2024. AZ Thomas, Rodney Hill, and Omar Graham Jr. will likely be starters next year.
Daniel Lyons and Ayobami Tifase should be contributers on the defensive line in 2024. Players from the 2023 recruiting cycle like Hykeem Williams, Conrad Hussey, and Blake Nichelson have already started getting playing time in 2023 and will be see a signicant increase in reps next year.
FSU has the No. 3 recruiting class for 2024, and several players will see snaps as freshmen. The blue-chip ratio is 70 percent. Miami’s 2024 recruiting class ranks No. 12(with two more commits) and only has a 40 percent blue-chip ratio.
