There is simply no explaining this.
Despite the ball being snapped, and his quarterback scrambling to avoid defenders, Florida State offensive lineman Zebrie Sanders doesn’t move a muscle. He doesn’t even flinch. He just stays frozen in his stance, even after the play is dead. Someone needs to get a microphone in this kids face and ask him what the hell was going on here.
Best case scenario: he has an awesome sense of humor and decided to risk his QB’s life for a hilarious prank. Worst case scenario: he just had the biggest and most visible space-out moment in the history of sports. Other possibilities: temporary paralysis, narcolepsy, experiencing flash backs of alien abduction, or (and I think this is an actual possibility) this is the actual play that Bobby Bowden called where either 1) keeping the right tackle frozen is designed to confuse the defense, or 2) Bowden forgot to draw any arrows on this play for the right tackle, so he just did what the diagram in the playbook told him to do. Either way, I have watched htis clip about a dozen times, and I don’t think I’m done yet.

I am amazed. It looks like there may have been some confusion with the snap as one of the other linemen didn’t block one of the rushers after the snap. He actually didn’t budge until the rusher placed his hand on his back as if they were playing an awkward game of freeze tag.
this is a tactic florida state regularly practices where the entire offensive line freezes so as not to be flagged for a false start, but this is ridiculous! honestly, my first thought was what if he was trying to hold back a huge fart right before the snap and he was afraid if he let it go he would shit himself!
