Florida State is desperate to get the run game going. A big, bruising back like Kam Davis could be part of the solution.
The Seminoles will sorely miss a versatile and elusive runner (and pass-catcher) like Jaylin Lucas, who is out for the season with an injury. But after the bye week, FSU coaches are now trying to figure out which three running backs will take on the majority of the playing time.
Davis was FSU’s running back on the first drive of the third quarter against Boston College, a sign that the coaches feel good about what he can do in pressure moments.
“I just think it’s trust,” Davis said. “I work hard. The guys in the room push me to be able to be ready whenever my name is called. Coach YAC (David Johnson), he trusts me a lot.”

TheOsceola - Kam Davis doesn't play, look like a freshman - and he's poised to play more
Kam Davis has just 19 yards through two games. But he could be set for far more on Saturday.
