Noles News: FSU running back room looking to “be the hammer” against SMU

Florida State’s running backs room is focused on being the “hammer” against SMU as the team prepares for its Week 1 matchup. Running backs coach Kam Martin encouraged his players to keep pushing for improvement, emphasizing that they shouldn’t think they’ve arrived. This mentality comes after a strong performance in Saturday's game against New Mexico State, where running back Ousmane Kromah showcased his talents.

Kromah, the second-highest graded player of Week 0 according to PFF, nearly had two touchdowns but missed out by a small margin.

FSU’s recent win against New Mexico State was the most-watched sports broadcast in The CW history, indicating the team's growing popularity and appeal.

The Seminoles' fans are excited to see their team take on SMU, believing it could be a pivotal game for the season.
