Sat Sep 28 22:00:24 UTC 2024: ## Florida State’s Offensive Line Struggles Continue: Leonard Out, Byers and Scott Questionable
**Tallahassee, FL -** Florida State’s offensive line will be shorthanded again this week as senior lineman Richie Leonard IV will miss the Seminoles’ road game against SMU on Saturday night. Leonard, who transferred from Florida this year, has been a valuable contributor, starting last week’s win over Cal.
This absence adds to the Seminoles’ offensive line woes, which have been plagued by injuries this season. Jeremiah Byers, Robert Scott Jr., and Darius Washington have all missed games. Byers has been sidelined since the season opener.
While head coach Mike Norvell expressed optimism earlier this week, stating that Byers and Scott were working towards returning for the SMU game, their status remains uncertain. The duo could potentially play, offering some relief to the struggling offensive line.
Despite the injury concerns, FSU will look to keep their winning momentum going against the Mustangs. The game will kick off at 8 p.m. ET at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
