Florida State has never had a deeper offensive line under Jimbo Fisher

Florida State hopes competition produces elite play in 2016.

Florida State’s offensive line in 2015 was much maligned. Some was deserved, some not. Nine players started at least three games due to injury and inconsistency. Ultimately that mixed lineup should pay dividends in 2016 as eight of the nine, and all of the regular starters return. At some of those spots, the returners are being pushed and fierce competition is occurring on a daily basis at practice. Florida State has 19 scholarship offensive linemen, which is easily the most it has ever carried under Jimbo Fisher. The result is excellent depth, especially on the interior, for a position group that gets constantly banged and bruised.
