FSU Football: 5 players that need to step up in 2017

FSU football will likely be ranked top five in the nation when preseason polls are released, and are expected to contend for the ACC championship.

They are also one of a handful of teams with decent betting odds to the National Championship.

The pieces are in place with an experienced quarterback returning in Deondre Francois, and what should be an elite defense with multiple starters returning.

There are lots of factors that come into play in winning championships. The schedule has to be favorable, injury luck must be good and players must have consistency week in and week out.
