OFFENSE SETTLED IN

Florida State's coaching staff knew they could be growing pains by allowing true freshman quarterback Luke Kromenhoek to make his first start. It looked like Kromenhoek was pressing to make a play early often, but you started to see him get settled in.

The Seminoles had a decision to make between redshirt freshman Brock Glenn and true freshman Luke Kromenhoek. This isn't to say that it was an indicator that Kromenhoek will start in 2025 and Glenn will transfer out of the program. Both of them could not be in the plans. You never know in today's landscape of college football.

However, as it relates to Saturday's game, the offense started sluggishly where they punted, scored a field goal, and then punted again on the first three drives. Then they started to find its footing where the next four drives were all touchdowns.

It was encouraging to see the offense have success over a lesser opponent, Charleston Southern. Hopefully, it can linger into the game versus arch-rival Florida.
