There’s certainly no opportune time to claim the lowest yards-per-rush average of any Power-5 team in the country, much less the second lowest average of any of the 130 FBS teams. But welcome to 2018, and the dismal state of the Seminole running game.
Thanks in no small part to an offensive-line situation that continues to spiral downward at Florida State, the ’Noles have averaged just 2.38 yards per carry through nine games this season. Only San Jose State “boasts” a lower average. Yes, those numbers include yards lost to quarterback sacks, but they still reflect a significant hinderance to the FSU offense— especially with a road trip to Notre Dame looming.
