FSU football: Players who need more action against Miami

No. 18 Florida State hosts their archrival No. 3 Miami this Saturday at 7:30 EST on ABC. This marks the first time the two have met in the top 25 since 2016, when No. 10 Miami lost to No. 23 Florida State 20-19 in the infamous "Block At The Rock" game. The Seminoles are looking for the same outcome this time around, and it will take a complete team effort and depth to knock off a highly touted Miami squad. Here's a look at a few players who should see more playing time against the Hurricanes.

Lawayne McCoy

Lawayne McCoy will need to make his imprint in this Miami game. The former four-star wide receiver has flashed potential since making his season debut against Kent State. McCoy had two catches for 44 yards last week against Virginia and continues to trend in the right direction. His skill set could take the pressure off Duce Robinson, who will likely draw most of the attention from the Miami secondary. McCoy needs to be a safety blanket for Tommy Castellanos to help open up the passing game.

Omar Graham Jr.

Florida State's defense is coming off a disappointing performance against Virginia, surrendering 440 total yards, including 211 rushing yards. Missed assignments, poor tackling, and a questionable scheme all contributed to the struggles. Linebacker Omar Graham Jr. could play a bigger part in this game to help subdue the defensive struggles. The junior ranked fourth among Florida State linebackers in snaps entering the Virginia game, but saw the field for just eight plays on Friday night. You can expect Tony White to increase his snap count against a physical Miami attack.

Other Notable Players:

• Caziah Holmes (2 car 32 yds versus Virginia)

• Squirrel White (2 rec 5 yds versus Virginia)

• Mandrell Desir (4 tot versus Virginia)
