Florida State football revolves around the ability to run the football effectively on the offensive side of the football. Unfortunately, the Seminoles will be tasked with replacing the likes of redshirt junior Trey Benson who declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Benson was a huge "home run" threat with his capability to take the distance to continue to keep the offense explosive even if it got stagnant. Quarterback Jordan Travis sometimes had a trigger finger when it came to becoming too reliant on the deep ball downfield with the likes of Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman who will also not be in Tallahassee for 2024.

The Seminoles' coaching staff wanted to bring in a veteran quarterback to bridge the gap for the younger signal-callers that they have on the roster. The former Clemson and Oregon State transfer was a perfect compliment to what they wanted.

To make Uiagalelei's job easier, they have to be able to run the football. While Benson is a tremendous player and he will be missed, here are three reasons why I believe that Florida State will be better at running the football next season.
