Although these players are not necessarily disappointed, so that the seminoles continue their ascent through the ranking, FSU will need their best. A week of leave followed by a development match against Kent State should provide a new layer of understanding in the new patterns and increase their confidence before the conference game.
N ° 1: The defensive line player Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. could also have qualified in the category “Five little -known heroes” last week. The mountain of a man recorded three plated, half-bag and a tackle for loss in just 15 snaps against East Texas A&M. According to Pff, Jackson Jr. DJJ is also ranking sixth in the total of the Snaps on the Defense. However, its breakthrough could be on the horizon due to the type of shots it plays. In two weeks, out of the 70 snaps Jackson Jr. played, 45 of them were by the way and 25 were against the race. With three passenger offenses, Virginia, Miami and Pitt, the Panhandle native seems intended to display the twisted number on the statistics sheet that coaches staff estimates to be able to do and increase their rescue stock in its last year in Florida State.
No. 2: James Williams Defensive James Williams
The measures put forward on James Williams are not nice for the transfer of Nebraska. Williams had a hard time putting himself on the edge against Alabama and played sparingly before being hit against East Texas A & M; PFF numbers confirm this. Although it is easy to tidy up Williams at the start of the year, coaches staff believe in the person too much and the player to let his two -week struggle transform more deeply in the season. Williams instantly became a leader when he set foot in Tallahassee, due to his familiarity with the coaches who had come from Nebraska. Tony White and Terrance Knighton delighted about the character of Williams and believe that he holds the potential of choice in the first round in the draft of the NFL. Since White and Knighton have practically hit 1,000 to start the year, they should be taken in the word. Florida State needs the best of Williams with unproven talents at the limit, and Bye should be perfect reset for the defensive to start hitting its stride.

N ° 3: Lande tight Landen Thomas
Landen Thomas seems to be the forgotten player in the deep -tight piece room in Tallahassee. During the first week, Randy Pittman Jr. stole the show with his race blocking and his physique in the offensive of Gus Malzahn. The following week, Amaree Williams saved a bag and a touchdown as aJust the 10th time that the feat has been accomplished at the time of the playoffs of university football. Add the return of Markeston Douglas and the beginnings of Chase Loftin, and the speech on Thomas has cooled. However, leaving bye, the old 4 -star recruit should start to see a rapid increase in its production. Mike Norvell mentioned in the fall camp that Thomas was dealing with something and finally started to train in full two weeks before the start of the season. This lack of repetitions is taking over the number of inclination and the receptions of the native of Georgia. Thomas only played four snaps against Alabama and 19 against Etamu without catching during the young season. Malzahn clearly needs to see Thomas that he looks healthy and perform on the practice field before winning the confidence of the attacking coordinator in the game. Of course, there is no reason why Thomas will not find his place after having burst on the stage in the first year in 2024 with a catch in each of his last three games and several receptions in the last two. Bye week’s practices should provide Thomas with the representatives he needs to feel comfortable in Malzahn’s offense and translate his confidence in the field.
