Florida State football, recruiting news: Jimbo not happy with short-yardage offensive situations

- Even ESPN's David Hale is a bit surprised by the lack of Heisman love for Dalvin Cook.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Cook's game, however, is that he's done it behind a shaky offensive line. Cook has been stopped behind the line of scrimmage about 70 percent more often than Fournette this year, yet he's averaged 1.14 more yards per rush. If Cook crosses the line of scrimmage, he's unstoppable, averaging 11.01 yards per carry -- 24 percent better than any other Power 5 back (minimum 100 carries).

- To say the least, Jimbo Fisher was not pleased with FSU in their short yardage situations in the win over NC State, as detailed by Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post.

- Chattanooga, although an FCS team, has had a respectable season and will enter Tallahassee on Saturday just one week removed from clinching a share of the SoCon title and an FCS playoff berth, per Gene Henley of the Times Free Press.

- Safid Deen, FSU writer for the Tallahassee Democrat, writes how Nate Andrews has kept a great attitude despite a season that has seen him deal with multiple injuries and reduced playing time.

Recruiting:

3-star DE Kier Thomas decommitted from FSU, which is not surprising and not a huge blow to FSU's class.
