With Florida State's 2012 campaign about to get started, NoleNation takes a look at some relevant questions heading into Saturday.
Q: Which freshman (or redshirt freshman) will make the biggest impact in Week 1?
Dowlar: There will probably be a few here, I would imagine. Can't help but assume the Noles will get a substantial lead and be able to rotate in the new guys. I'll go with Ronald Darby for this week. It is tempting to go with Kelvin Benjamin, sure, but I think Coach Fisher could keep him under wraps for a little while. Meanwhile, Darby's impact could be two-fold. Would expect him to get some kind of time as a return man and definitely substantial burn at cornerback.
