THE DOPE: The Seminoles only recently decided to take to the warpath of major college football, and in this, their second year of the big time, they are abiding by all the rules of the Southeastern Conference, their immediate neighbors. Perhaps they may some day be invited in. Coach Tom Nugent has a big job ahead of him getting this year's team ready for the fairly rough schedule ahead. His biggest problem will be at tackle, where Nugent lost every one of 1955's lettermen. Bob Thomas, a sophomore, will try to plug one side of the line; the other is still questionable. The main strength of the Seminoles will be their running, spearheaded by Halfback Lee Corso. End Ron Schomburger gives State some strength on the flanks, and little Bobby Renn, a quarterback, is raising hopes in Tallahassee, but the Seminoles still have a way to go before being considered a real power. As Coach Nugent says: "We hope to break even in our schedule."
