The other week, Florida State Head Coach Jimbo Fisher offered what may have seemed a rather innocuous explanation when he spoke about looking forward to how sophomore running back Amir Rasul would play a big part of the Seminoles’ rushing attack— one day.

This is nothing new for Fisher. We’ve seen it with promising, highly recruited prospects at other positions. Long, athletic wide receivers. Stout, talented linebackers. Fisher gives off the feeling of having his visions trained perpetually on a horizon that seems continually receding from his grasp.

His comment about Rasul was far from momentous, but for whatever reason, it stuck with me.
