The Florida State Seminoles have the opportunity to define the course of their season this weekend in New Orleans. Though neither Florida State nor LSU enter Sunday night ranked in the top 25, this game could build the necessary momentum to help propel either team into the early parts of their schedule. The Seminoles opened their 2022 campaign with a 47-7 victory over Duquesne, while the Tigers have yet to play a game under new head coach Brian Kelly.

Both teams are talented at the skill positions, but this game will likely be decided at the line of scrimmage. LSU is bringing out an entirely new offensive line, including a center who has never played the position and a true rookie at left tackle. Florida State’s defensive line will have to take advantage against a revamped offensive line and a new quarterback (Jayden Daniels or Garrett Nussmeier).
On the other hand, the Tigers have a capable defensive line of their own that includes defensive end BJ Ojulari, defensive tackle Maason Smith, defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy, defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo and others. Florida State produced 406 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns against Duquesne. It will be much more difficult to find room to run against the Tigers.
The Seminoles and Tigers have met on the football field nine times with FSU holding a 7-2 lead. Florida State is currently on a four-game winning streak in the series, but the two programs haven’t met since 1991. The ‘Noles are 14-4 overall in Louisiana State, including an 8-2 mark in New Orleans.
