Miami at Florida State: Key Players to Watch

The key player to watch on the Miami football team at Florida State is the quarterback. The question all week has been will Tyler Van Dyke start. If Miami elects to make a change at QB the expectation is that Emory Williams will start with the potential of Jacurri Brown getting snaps.

The players to watch for Florida State on Saturday are wide receivers Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson. Coleman and Wilson missed last week’s game at Pittsburgh with injuries. Coleman and Wilson and backups Duece Spann and Hykeem Williams are all listed as questionable for Saturday.

Prediction

The spread will likely be determined by how well Van Dyke potentially plays and the health of the Florida State receivers. Florida State struggled at times offensively in a 24-7 win over Pittsburgh last week. The spread will be tight. With how Miami has struggled offensively in ACC play, the under seems like a sure bet.
