Dwayne Bacon and Malik Beasley are carrying the offensive load
The freshmen are off to an impressive startPrior to Xavier Rathan-Mayes leading FSU in points per game in his first season, you have to go all the way back to the beginning Florida State's program (1947-48) to find another freshman who was able to carry that sort of scoring load. That was Leon High's own Big Bill Kratzert (6-2), who put up a team best 9.6 per contest.
Fast forward 68 years and now FSU not only has two freshmen who are scoring twice as many points as any other Seminole, but they're two of four freshmen nationally who are averaging 20.0 or more per game (and the only two from a major conference).
