The Florida State Seminoles football team cruised to an easy win over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles this past weekend.
Florida State was in control from the start against the Golden Eagles, scoring on their opening drive en route to 31 first-half points. The starters were out quickly in the third quarter which allowed multiple offensive linemen to see snaps during the FSU 35-point second half. Due to limited snaps, we’ll share only the scores from linemen that saw 10 snaps or more on Saturday.
After each week, Tomahawk Nation will take a peek at FSU’s PFF grades along the line, offering some insight into the numbers and performances.

Florida State offensive line performance takeaways with @Ricobert11
- PFF is not a perfect scoring system. The graders cannot be 100% of the assignments on each play.
- PFF CFB Scale: 90-100 Elite, 85-89 All-Conference, 70-84 Starter, 60-69 Backup, <60 replaceable
- Honestly, not a great performance by anyone except Meech. Just another day at the mill for our AARP-eligible guard.
- Pretty disappointing run block numbers. FSU wanted to run it early but did so with limited success.
- Darius Washington gets props for the spot start, but again his performance was replacement-level. And factor in this DL they faced while good was a full step down from LSU, and that lends some worry to this unit.
- I think we may have been expected an 80-grade OL this year and that is probably unrealistic. That said, this line will be effective in every game if unspectacular.
