'Bama & FSU Match Up!

Alabama's front has clearly made major strides since 2006 in both run blocking and pass blocking. As long as Terry Grant's rushing average hovers in the six-plus range, this line's play can't be described as anything less than excellent. Center Antoine Caldwell and left tackle Andre Smith give UA a dominant presence both inside and outside. All five starters have remained healthy this season, a critical factor as depth is a concern.

OL

This unit is where the Seminoles have struggled most, and takes a large share in the blame for a lack of production from some of FSU's very talented skill players on offense. The line is led by pre-season All-ACC pick Jacky Claude at left guard. Around Claude, however, FSU employs a true freshman at right guard, a first-year starter at left tackle, and a converted defensive lineman at center. Guard Shannon Boatman has extensive experience, but experience meant little in a re-tooling job by new OL coach Rick Trickett.
