ESTABLISH THE RUN EARLY AND OFTEN
Florida State has to replace the likes of a talented piece such as running back Trey Benson, who was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, fans should not worry too much as the Seminoles should have multiple backs that could make a difference.
I discussed in a previous article that Lawrance Toafili could be an x-factor for the Seminoles in the contest. Plus, players such as Roydell Williams, Jaylin Lucas, Caziah Holmes, Samuel Singleton Jr., Kameron Davis, and Micahi Danzy could be factors in the running game.
Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is a newcomer in the offense, especially with it being the first game of the season, which could translate to Florida State establishing the running game early and often.
Georgia Tech's defense allowed 221.3 rushing yards per game (128th in the FBS), which should favor heavily for what the Seminoles want to do this season as well as allow the game to show down for a team that brings in so many pieces.
