ret'd and I thought the unit had an excellent combo of size and spd with lots of memorable catches in '11. They also added in rFr Kelvin Benjamin (6'5" 242) who has drawn comparisons to Randy Moss. Christian Green had an appendectomy in Aug and only had 3 rec. Rashad Greene led again with 741 (13.0) and became the first FSU ply'r s/'99 (Peter Warrick) to score on a rush, rec and ret in the same ssn. Shaw was #2 (532, 16.1), Smith was #3 (524, 13.8) and Benjamin was #4 (495, 16.5). TY the only loss is Smith (14 st) and they add in Marvin Bracy (5'9" 172 rFr, PS#25) who set the NCAA 60 M record but RS LY (hamstring). This should be one of the top rec corps in the country.OFFENSIVE LINE - In '11 FSU had 112 car sts ret but was decimated by inj's and in the bowl, actually had 4 true frosh starting. FSU's numbers dropped dramatically to 112 ypg (3.3) and they all'd 41 sks (tied #110 in FBS, 10.7%). LY they had to replace 3 OL (comb 23 st, #5 & #7DC) and the car sts dropped to 50. I pointed out that due to 11's inj's, this unit was very exp'd as a lot of frosh were thrown into the fire and were now soph. They also added in 2 VHT JUCO's (PS#11 & #30) and faced the best DL in the country every day in practice. FSU nearly doubled their rushing total up to 206 ypg (5.6!) and all'd just 26 sks (6.1%). TY they lose RT Menelik Watson (12 st, #2DC OAK) but return three 2nd Tm ACC OL (96 car sts ret). This just might be the best OL in the FBS.DEFENSIVE LINE - FSU almost always has a tough rush D and in '10, led by DE Brandon Jenkins (13.5 sk), all'd 129 ypg (3.4). They had to replace a #7DC in '11 but added in PS#1JC Tank Carradine and I said they should have their best rush D s/'06 (93, 2.9). FSU did even better yielding just 83 ypg (#2 FBS, 2.3, 40 sk). LY the unit ret'd intact and I called it the best D-line saying their 3rd string D-line would likely make my preseason Top 39. They needed a lot of that depth as in the first gm, pressn 1st Tm AA Jenkins was OFY, then PS#1 Jacobbi McDaniel sat out the year (RS) and then outstanding pass rusher Carradine missed the L/2. FSU still all'd just 92 ypg (2.8, 36 sk). TY most of the DL moves on to the NFL. Gone are 1st Tm AA Bjoern Werner (14 st, 42 tkl, 13 sk, 5 tfl, #1DC IND), 1st Tm ACC Carradine (11 st, 80 tkl, 11 sk, 2 tfl, #2DC SF), Jenkins (#5DC WAS), DT Anthony McCloud (12 st, 24 tkl, 1 sk), 2nd Tm ACC DT Everett Dawkins (14 st, 26 tkl, 1.5 tfl, #7DC MIN) and Toshmon Stevens (13 tkl). They get McDaniel back, have PS#1 Mario Edwards and are talented throughout (13 VHT's incl 6'4" 317 So Derrick Mitchell (PS#50). However, in the new draft era you can count on 1 hand how many units have had 4 players drafted in the same yr.LINEBACKERS - LY FSU had to replace Nigel Bradham who was the 1st 'Nole since Marvin Jones ('90-'92, #4DC) to lead FSU in tkls for 3 str yr but they had 4 of their top 6 back incl 2 st'rs. Vince Williams st'd all 14 at MLB but was only the #4 tkl'r (59 tkls, 6.5 tfl). Nick Moody st'd 10 at SLB but only had 20 tkls. The top 2 LB tkl'rs were 1st Tm ACC Christian Jones (PS#2, 14 st, #1 tkl'r, 7 tfl) and bkp Telvin Smith (PS#53,#3 tkl'r, 9.5 tfl). This year they lose Moody (#6DC SF) and 2nd Tm ACC Williams (#6DC PIT) but despite dropping to just 1 ret st'r, with the top 2 tkl'rs back, they should be just as strong and add in 5 VHT true frosh and a PS#9 rFr. DEFENSIVE BACKS - FSU had some low points in pass D incl a ranking of #102 in '09. After improving to #32 in '10, I said in '11 they would have their best PDR s/'04 and they did not disappoint (#18, 59%, 16-16). LY they had to replace a CB (6 st, #2 tkl'r, #6DC) and a SS (#6 tkl'r, 3 pbu). They ret'd 3 who had 9+ sts and I called for continued improvement. They surprisingly lost AA candidate Greg Reid in Aug but CB Nick Waisome (PS#12) took his place and held Clemson's Sammy Watkins to 24 yds. FSU finished #3 (48.8%, 13-11). TY they lose 1st Tm ACC CB Xavier Rhodes (14 st, #9 tkl'r, 3 int, 7 pbu, #1DC MIN). They return 7 of

POSITION OUTLOOK FOR 2013

126

QUARTERBACKS - Christian Ponder was a 3Y st'r (#1DC) but was inj'd allowing EJ Manuel (PS#4) to start a comb'd 6 in '09 and '10 (incl both bowls) and throw for 1,678 (67%, 6-10, 366 rush). Manuel was the clear-cut st'r in '11 but was inj'd in the 3Q vs Okla (gm 3) and rFr Clint Trickett (PS#60, OL cch's son) impressed with a 56 yd td pass on 3&28 to tie it at 13 (FSU lost by 10). Trickett st'd vs Clem (336, 3 td) but the next wk after a fmbl and 2 int in the 1H vs WF, Manuel came in and almost led the comeback (286 yd, 2-2). In 9 gms Trickett threw for 675 (61%, 7-4) while Manuel threw for 2,666 (65%, 18-8). Manuel entered '12 with 121 consec passes without an int and set the FSU rec for car comp % after throwing for 3,392 (68.0%, 23-10, 2nd Tm ACC). His best game was vs Clem (27-35-380). Trickett played in 7 (272, 64.7%, 0-0). Jameis Winston (PS#2) took command this spring and Trickett decided to trans. Added to the mix is soph Jacob Coker (PS#38) and Sean Maguire (PS#42). Manuel became the 2nd QB in NCAA history to win 4 consec bowl gms (did not st but led win in '10). He was also just the 2nd FSU QB ever taken in the 1st Rnd (#1DC BUF). While this unit is a lot less exp'd, it wouldn't surprise me if they improve upon LY's ratio (24-10) and Winston could be another rFr that contends for national honors.RUNNING BACKS - With all of the VHT's and NFL caliber talent former HC Bobby Bowden compiled at RB, it's amazing that FSU has not had a 1,000 yd rusher since Warrick Dunn in 1996! In fact since then FSU has had just 3 RB's top 900 w/zero in the L8Y! Chris Thompson (PS#29) led in '10 with 845 (6.3). The top 3 RB's all ret'd in '11 but Thompson broke 2 vertebrae in his back (OFY Wk 5). True frosh Devonta Freeman (PS#28) had B2B 100 yd gms (Duke, MD) which were FSU's only 2 in '11. Freeman led with 579 (4.8) while true frosh James Wilder, Jr (PS#3) had 160 (4.6). I mentioned LY that I expected more production as the top 3 RB's in '11 comb'd for just 1,018, 4.7. Thompson had 74 & 80 yd td runs vs WF and was on pace for the 1,000 yd ssn (687, 7.5) when he tore his ACL in the 2Q vs Mia (Wk 8). Freeman led with 104 vs Duke and 148 vs MD but the tm had -15 yds rushing vs VT. Freeman finished #2 with 660 (5.9) while Wilder added 635 (5.8). True frosh Mario Pender (PS#6) RS. TY they lose 2nd Tm ACC Thompson (#5DC WAS) and FB's Lonnie Pryor (8 st, 376, 8.0) and Debrale Smiley (152, 5.2). The fine duo of Wilder (power) and Freeman (speed) along with Pender make this a very formidable group.RECEIVERS - In '11 FSU was led by a group of 4 who had just 38 rec coming into the ssn in Rashad Greene (PS#27, 596, 15.7), 6'6" Rodney Smith (PS#47, 561, 15.6), Christian Green (PS#9, 450, 17.3) and Kenny Shaw (PS#29, 418, 12.3) LY all 4

FLORIDA ST SEMINOLES

PHIL’S FORECASTFSU had an amazing run of 14 str Top 5 finishes but has not been back s/'00!! In Bobby Bowden's last 4 yrs they finished NR 3 times and #21 in his 2nd to last year. In '09 they were the media's preseason fav to win the Atlantic (I had Clemson) and they finished 3rd at 4-4 and -6 ypg. In '10 I mentioned that Jimbo Fisher stepped into a great situation as they had not had DD wins s/'03 and 7 of my 9 sets of PR's called for them to reach that plateau. FSU got as high as 6-1 (#16) and finished 10-4 (#17) losing to VT in the ACC Title gm but did beat SC in the bowl. In '11 they had 14 st'rs back and expectations were extremely high. FSU started #6 and I had them picked LOWER than any other preseason Top 25 list in the country! FSU lost QB Manuel in their showdown with #1 Okla and the next wk at Clem with a bkp QB lost again. FSU finished 9-4 and #23. LY they had 16 ret sts and with their talent level and their schedule, I had them winning all of their games and picked them #1. As it turns out, FSU was less than a 13' pt fav only once during the season yet they somehow managed to have 2 losses. Things didn't go well as they lost pressn AA CB/PR Reid in Aug, then in the opener lost pressn AA DE Jenkins. FSU mauled their first 3 foes 176-3. They led Clem 49-31 when they gave up a tipped 4th down td pass with 2:11 left. They went through the motions on a soggy field vs USF (won by 13) then had a 221-68 yd edge at half (led 16-0) vs NCSt. Unfortunately, they gave up three 4th down conv on the final drive incl one with :16 left in their stunning 17-16 loss. They dominated their next 3 then survived a Thurs night test in Blacksburg getting a 39 yd td pass with :40 left for a 28-22 win. They were a td fav vs #6 Fla but leading 20-13 in the 4Q Manuel fmbl'd on a hard hit and was inj'd. UF got a 37 yd td run on the next play and FSU's offense struggled, losing by 11 at home. They led GT 21-6 at half play-ing a "C" game but still won by 6. In the bowl they thrashed NIU 31-10 and only finished #10. TY FSU loses some big talent (11 NFL DC's) and has just 11 ret sts but was +229.9 ypg in ACC play which was #1 by 110.5 ypg. Amazingly FSU's D all'd 15.5 ppg which was almost half of the #2 ACC D (VT, 27.3). While the schedule is not as easy (road trips to Clemson and Florida), 4 of my 9 sets of PR's call for an unbeaten season.

their top 8 with PS#2 and PS#12 st'rs and looking to fill the hole are a PS#4 and a PS#5. This year's secondary could be even stronger than LY's and is led by 1st Tm ACC SS Lamarcus Joyner.SPECIAL TEAMS - FSU always finishes high in my ST rankings. LY they had to replace their outstanding P (41.3 net) then unexpectedly lost PR Greg Reid (416, 11.2) but still earned B2B #1's led LY by my ST COY, Charles Kelly. Dustin Hopkins, for the 2nd str yr, was a Groza finalist (25-30, L56, 5-6 50+, 2nd Tm AA) with 43 TB's on 105 KO. True frosh P Cason Beatty (PS#14) only avg'd 38.3 (net 34.3). Rashad Greene & Tyler Hunter proved dangerous on PR's (3 td's!) and Joyner and Williams avg 24.6 on KR. Hopkins (#6DC BUF) leaves as the NCAA's all-time leader in pts scored by a kicker. That gives them some big shoes to fill (PS#5 rFr Roberto Aguayo has a powerful, accurate leg) but with improved net punting they'll contend for a three peat.COACHES - In '07 Jimbo Fisher came over as OC from LSU (OC L7Y). After HOF HC Bobby Bowden reluctantly retired, Fisher & Co. won the Atlantic and totalled 10 wins for the 1st time s/'03. Fisher lost his OC of 3Y and will again call his own plays but without giving anyone that title. LY's DC Mark Stoops is now Kentucky's HC. Jeremy Pruitt becomes only the 3rd DC in 28 seasons here! Pruitt was Bama's DB coach (3Y) and was the 2012 Recruiter of the Year.ALSO ON ROSTER: RB Jermaine Washington 5'8" 192 SoRB Will Burnham 6'0" 185 SoFB Cameron Buddle 5'11" 228 Jr
