Senior Kareem Are played in all 13 games last season, helping pave the way for Dalvin Cook’s breakout season. Meanwhile, two other key players are listed as questionable for the game.
Florida State pregame notes list starting DB Nate Andrews (leg) and QB Sean Maguire (foot) as questionable for tonight. #OleMiss

The veteran Nate Andrews is a vital part of a strong Seminoles secondary that will likely challenge Rebels’ quarterback Chad Kelly.
Though Maguire did not win the starting nod, he battled redshirt freshman quarterback Deondre Francois for the job throughout fall camp. If Francois is injured or crumbles under the pressure of his first start, FSU may be without its sure-fire No. 2 option, though he did dress out.
Sean Maguire trots onto the field to warm up for #FSU. Not starting, but looks available as the backup QB.
