Lawrance Toafili, Treshaun Ward and Deonte’ Sheffield paced FSU’s running game during the scrimmage. All three posted an average of at least 6.8 yards per carry and none of the trio had a rush for negative yardage.
The defense also made plays as all three levels made major contributions. The defensive line, led by Jermaine Johnson and Dennis Briggs, Jr., created pressure while the linebackers showcased solid tackling and the defensive backs posted one interception, made by true freshman Kevin Knowles II, and four additional pass breakups.
