During the 2016 season, the offense for FSU football had plenty of things to celebrate. Led by All-American running back Dalvin Cook and starting quarterback Deondre Francois, the Seminoles finished 27th in the FBS in total offense – with a balanced attack that averaged 260 yards in the air each game and just over 200 yards on the ground each time during the season.
In 2017, the Seminoles are dealing with the loss of players like Cook – who became the good to man for much of this last two seasons in Tallahassee – to go along with three leading receivers in Travis Rudolph, Bobo Wilson and Kermit Whitfield.
