The Seminoles’ offensive line is getting healthier and should be able to score 25 or more points this week against a good but not as good as the numbers reflect defense of the Cardinals. The same goes for Florida State’s defense. They’ve faced offensively challenged Wake Forest and Boston College and lowly Texas State. Last week they allowed one extra point and two less yards than Cincinnati did to Miami.
