The Florida State Seminoles offensive line helped lead the football team to their third victory of the season, this one over the Louisville Cardinals. This past week’s game was met with adversity as starting left tackle had to leave with a leg injury. FSU inserted seasoned veteran Darius Washington at the tackle spot and the line was able to do something it hasn’t always had the luxury of in the past— rely on it’s depth.

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
  • FSU’s offensive line was overall slightly better against UL (62.4) vs LSU (56.2) in the run department
  • The same can be said for pass blocking, UL (61.7) compared to LSU (58.3)
  • D’mitri Emmanuel had the biggest jump in pass blocking, jumping to 70.5 against the Cardinals
  • On the flip side, Jazston Turnetine regressed to his South Carolina levels with a 38.4 passing grade
  • Robert Scott was having a pretty sizable from his LSU performance (73.9 vs 42.2) before the injury
  • Darius Washington filled in with an solid rating of 79.6
