Florida State Vs. Oklahoma: Can The Sooners Contain Christian Ponder’s Pass Attack?

SB Nation’s Crimson and Cream Machine previews the matchup between the Seminoles’ offense and the Sooners’ defense:

Here’s what we did learn about the FSU passing game on Saturday though. Christian Ponder has a nice touch on the ball and his receivers have the speed to get separation. Unlike what we saw from the Sooners on Saturday night, there seems to be chemistry between Ponder and his receivers.

Florida State’s offensive line averages 6-4/297 in size and is not just good at protecting the quarterback. They sprung Seminole running backs for an average yard per carry mark of 5.8 yards. Junior running back Tye Jones is listed as second on the depth chart but led the way for FSU rushers on Saturday. He got the same amount of carries (8) as the starter but where Jermaine Thomas ran for 31 yards, Jones averaged 13.4 yards per carry on his way to a 107 yard afternoon. The Seminoles also like to throw the ball to their backs out of the backfield and found success there last weekend as well.
