There is no question the Seminoles will be a different team than the one we saw struggle to an 8-4 record last season. For them to be national championship material, it will depend on whether the defense is able to make the necessary strides at getting more pass pressure from the defensive end position. Dockett will provide a dominating inside push, but Jackson needs to be attacking from the outside on a consistent basis, while Emanuel or Moore need to get the job done on the other side. Given the necessary protection, opposing quarterbacks were able to successfully attack the Seminole cornerbacks. This season, a true cover man needs to emerge from a group that looks average going in.
Offensively, the healthy return of Boldin and Morgan is huge. Now Rix has proven weapons to go along with Gardner, Sam and Thorpe. It will also be interesting to see how much production the Seminoles receive from the incoming freshmen wideouts, led by Davis as well as highly regarded JUCO transfer Stovall. An area to watch is tight end. They'll need some production from Hughes as a pass-receiving option. The running game, led by Jones, Maddox, and Reid should be potent, with the necessary blend of power and quickness. Making it all go will be a Seminole offensive line that could be one of the best in the country.
