We wrote that this team could compete with anyone when all of its key players were healthy, but they would need good injury luck along the way. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5v\">FSU has had solid injury luck for the most part, but that ugly injury bug has started to rear its head over the past few weeks. FSU played last week without its best offensive lineman, Micah Pettus, and he\u2019s questionable for the <a href=\"https:\/\/chopchat.com\/fsu-s-defense-cannot-allow-qb-ben-gulbranson-to-look-like-prime-dan-marino\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stanford<\/a> game. FSU\u2019s best wide receiver, Duce Robinson, is questionable, and we saw what the offense looked like without his presence in the second half of the Pittsburgh game.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FSU &#8211; STANFORD INJURY REPORT<\/p>\n<p>The latest from the ACC ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FSUFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@FSUFootball<\/a>&#8216;s trip to California <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x2JWZ4552H\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/x2JWZ4552H<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Warchant.com (@Warchant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Warchant\/status\/1979019799066714541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"61\">FSU will be without one of its best defensive players this week. Defensive back Jabrill Rawls is out for the Stanford game with an injury. Rawls has been one of the few bright spots for the FSU defense, as he\u2019s been one of a handful of defensive players who\u2019ve played with the same physicality and intensity since the Alabama game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"64\">FSU does have some good news on the injury front. The often-injured Squirrel White will return this week, which could help if Robinson is a no-go. Randy Pittman Jr. returning this week should also help the offense in a big way. Ashlynd Barker returning at safety should help the defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"67\">The good news is, Stanford isn\u2019t a great team, but all these injuries and limitations help level the playing field a little bit. FSU remains a massive betting favorite at -18.5. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the biggest weaknesses of this year\u2019s FSU football team was its lack of proven depth at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-9400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
