Florida State's defense rose to the occasion over the weekend as the Seminoles downed Cal 14-9 in Tallahassee. Defensive coordinator Adam Fuller and his unit bent but they never broke as they failed to allow a touchdown for the first time this season. FSU was aided by a pair of missed field goals while stopping the Golden Bears on downs late in the game to finish off the victory.

Can the Seminoles churn this into a winning streak? It'll probably take more consistency on offense with Florida State preparing for a game against an SMU offense that scored 66 points last week. Through four outings, FSU has only totaled 60 points and hasn't crossed the 20-point mark since the season-opening loss to Georgia Tech.

On Monday, the Seminoles released their updated depth chart prior to the contest in Dallas. Florida State made a few changes to the two-deep to note on.

The most significant is that true freshman Kam Davis has replaced Roydell Williams at one of the starting running back spots. Williams missed the win against Cal due to a lower-body injury and isn't listed on the depth chart this week. Outside of that, sophomore wide receiver Hykeem Williams is now a primary starter after previously being listed as a co-backup with Kentron Poitier.

The alterations in the wide receiver unit mean Malik Benson and Jalen Brown are now co-starters at one of the three spots. Williams and Ja'Khi Douglas are the lone solo starters.

Outside of that, redshirt sophomore Earl Little Jr. has been listed as a co-backup with Davonte Brown behind Conrad Hussey at the free safety spot. The switch means redshirt freshman Edwin Joseph is now the co-backup with Ja'Bril Rawls to veteran start Kevin Knowles II. The changes also have true freshman Charles Lester III as the primary backup to Azareye'h Thomas.
