2016 Florida State Seminoles Football Preview
Team Strengths
Jimbo Fisher will have a trove of talent on offense, enough to ease concern regarding the uncertainty of the quarterback position. Running back Dalvin Cook returns for another season after scorching the turf for 1,691 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns in 2015. Cook is +1,500 to win the Heisman Trophy.Downfield, the Seminoles will have an assortment of weapons, including the pair of Travis Rudolph and Kermit Whitfield, the team’s top two receivers last season. The backfield will be protected by a stout offensive line that will be comprised mostly by seven returning players who spent time as starters in 2015.
Team Weaknesses
As mentioned earlier, there are some issues about who will be team’s starting quarterback this year. The battle is between senior Sean Maguire and freshman redshirt Deondre Francois. Both players aren’t exactly the type you’d categorize in the first tier of college quarterbacks so the Seminoles will have to put extra pressure on the offensive line and Dalvin Cook to perform above expectations.
