EFFECTIVE RUNNING GAME

Florida State's coaching staff wanted to establish the running game last year, and many of the fans thought that the aspect of the game would be a strength of the team. The Seminoles finished 128th in the FBS with 89.9 rushing yards per game.

The Seminoles thought that pieces such as Roydell Williams, Lawrance Toafili, Caziah Holmes, Jaylin Lucas, Samuel Sington Jr., Kameron Davis, and Micahi Danzy. Toafili and Holmes are graduating (potentially Williams, too).

Florida State added four-star signee Ousmane Kromah as he flipped from the Georgia Bulldogs. I believe that the coaching staff will not be able to ignore Kromah's size, speed, burst, and balance, even though he is a true freshman.

UCF finished 8th in the FBS with 248.1 rushing yards per game. The Knights knew what it took to get the running game going. The Knights played Arizona State, who had a top-30 rushing defense and had success on the ground, where their offense recorded 177 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
