GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Florida pass rush vs. FSU offensive line. The Seminoles have struggled protecting QBs this season, allowing 31 sacks, second worst in the ACC ahead of just Louisville. Florida, meanwhile, is tied for sixth in the SEC in sacks with 27. Look for Florida defensive coordinator Todd Grantham to bring pressure early and often. Edge rushers Jachai Polite (8.5 sacks) and Jabari Zuniga (5.5 sacks) could have big days against the Seminoles.
DRAFT SLANT:
–DL Cece Jefferson is looking to finish off his senior season on a positive note. The 6-foot-1, 252-pound Jefferson has played better of the late and will need to finish the strong to improve his draft stock. Jefferson has 17 tackles, five tackles for loss and a safety on the season.
ROSTER REPORT:
–S Brad Stewart (quad strain) is probable for Florida State.
–WR Freddie Swain (sprained ankle) is probable for Florida State.
–OL Brett Heggie (sprained ankle) is probably for Florida State.
–RB Malik Davis (broken foot) will not return this season.
–C Nick Buchanan is expected to return for FSU after sitting out the Idaho game for undisclosed reasons.
