Confidence

Confidence is a scary thing, and Luke Kromenhoek has gained it each time he's played on the field. He's shown flashes, but Saturday's game will be the first time he has entered the week of preparation as the starter.

That, coupled with how he performed in his last outing, is something to build on. The game looked like it truly began to slow down as the reps began to accumulate.

We know Florida has better athletes than Charleston Southern, and the game speed will be faster than last week. However, Kromenhoek has gotten reps against teams like Duke and Miami with comparable athletes.

Mike Norvell will likely start the game with some safe plays to get Kromenhoek comfortable and to see how Florida may try to defend.

FSU has shown flashes of a run game in the last couple of weeks. They found success early on the ground against a stout Notre Dame defense. Florida isn't exactly lights out against the run, allowing over four yards per carry. It shouldn't surprise to see Kromenhoek as part of the run game, which could help open things up for the offense.
