"O-line play has kinda changed a little bit, and now it's more like a stalemate," former Super Bowl Champion Bryan Stork said. "But keep your feet running, keep your feet in the ground, wall him out after a certain amount of steps, especially on plays like this. He does a good job engaging him and getting his hands inside."

Jeremiah Byers was the No. 1 transfer offensive tackle according to 247Sports coming out of UTEP as a first-team All-Conference USA player with 30 starts in 33 games. 

"That's a huge word in offensive line play: Anticipate. Anticipate. Anticipate."

Anticipation has been in the back of everyone's minds as the 'Noles gear up to make a run at the ACC and CFP berth which hasn't happened since 2014. Coming off their first 10-win season in nearly as many years, the stretch of road ahead seems long and arduous for the Seminoles.

The additions of Jeremiah Byers, Jaheim Bell, Hykeem Williams, Vandrevious Jacobs paired with returning quarterback Jordan Travis and the team around him will give an exciting experience for fans watching an offense that averaged 484 yards per game last year.

There are a lot of new faces on the roster and Bryan Stork breaks down the newcomers of Tribe 23's film in 'Calculated Chaos', which, if you're a film junkie, is a must-see.
