Working to clean up the offensive line woes in one year has been a daunting task for FSU football. The reality is the problems started long ago and tie back to recruiting. Power schools such as Alabama and Georgia were recruiting on average five more offensive lineman than the Seminoles were per year while schools like Clemson did three to five more per year.
Last year was nothing short of a complete mess and with Landon Dickerson and Cole Minshew injured, things were even worse. FSU football ended up using nine different offensive line combinations – which appears to be more combinations than any other Power Five team.
