Bell's 2018 Florida State passing average was third in the ACC. However, the Seminoles were second to last in sacks given up. And Florida State was last in rushing yards. Sounds like the Seminoles had some O-line troubles this year.

The Tallahasse Democrat reports although Bell was the OC he did not take over play calling until November 3rd (the last four games of the season).

BTW, I've been meaning to congratulate UMass Hockey for their first ever #1 in the nation ranking. What I know about hockey would fit in a thimble, but it's impressive what UMass hockey has done.
