College football scouting report: No. 7 Florida State vs. Murray State, 6 p.m. Saturday, 820-AM

The Seminoles are loaded with proven talent everywhere except for the offensive line where coach Jimbo Fisher is hoping that four new starters can protect QB EJ Manuel and create some holes for a running game. It's the first of two Division I-AA for the Seminoles.

Watch out for …

Florida State's heralded pass rush vs. Murray State quarterback Casey Brockman. The Seminoles have sacked enemy quarterbacks 88 times in the past two seasons and have three defensive ends likely headed to the NFL. Brandon Jenkins and Bjoern Werner each shed weight in the offseason to improve their speed. Along with Cornelius "Tank" Carradine, the trio accounted for 20.5 sacks last season.
