A freshman QB probably won't be the weak link for FSU unless Jameis Winston is a complete bust.

At one point, Texas Tech had the #2 defense in the country last season. Not sure how they're weak.

I've also been playing the early release and of what I've seen so far they have the best playbook IMO. I'm a USC guy but I really like the diversity that their playbook has and if anyone's looking for a good playbook to use in custom playbook, I'd highly recommend theirs.
Did some more digging and updated to Multiple. According to comments made by Driskel to SI, they actually want to pass more this year so their heavy running from 2012 isn't something they necessarily want to adopt as an identity.

Also keep in mind that "Spread" offense doesn't mean pass, it's just a generic term for the primary personnel group, but I agree that "Multiple" is a better fit. There are even "Spread Pro" sets that some teams run (Oklahoma). But even on defense it sounds like Florida could bounce between a 3-4 and 4-3 -- the main point is that no one really knows. Muschamp is pretty deceptive about what the team's alignments are going to be so we'll all learn once the season starts up.

I hear you. Multiple is a better definition of what they plan on running. I was basing my comment on what I saw last year which was run heavy. The games that I watched Florida against FSU, A&M, and LSU they rellied a lot on the run. Some of there biggest plays were with counter treys as well. Again year to year teams try to find their identity based of personel but I have a feeling that being in SEC country they'll still rely on a huge run presence. Balance is always a huge key to success... I hope my Trojans will redefine themselves with more balance this year as well! Fight On!

Kentucky is going to be running the air raid with Stoops as head coach.

I tried to focus more on the base personnel groups instead of the philosophy. It is worth noting that they will utilize a pass-heavy (air raid) attack which definitely sets them apart from most teams.

Bowling Green will be a team to watch out for! Bring back almost everyone and coach Dave Clawson is doing a great job there! Losing the MAC freshman of the year last year at Running Back wil be the only thing that will hurt the Falcons, I see them being MAC champs this year

@ Doriandonp

FSU doesn't have a Mario Freeman, we have a Devonta Freeman, who is our 1A starting RB along with James Wilder Jr who is our 1B RB. We also have Mario Pender, who is a redshirt freshman who will get some carries this year.
