Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles

Both teams had so many chances to win this game and blew them all… we basically lost this one on a missed PAT in the first half. That safety call was pretty much a crock, too. But you get two coaches together like this, you know you;’re going to end up with a good game. [...]

I was really afraid coming into this game. We were coming off a three-loss roll, and Tech had one of the strongest defenses in the country. I needn’t have worried. Somehow, the offense put together a complete game and the defense held firm. I had forgotten that Frank Beamer’s Hokies haven’t beaten the Seminoles in [...]

Bobby Bowden has a Florida State Trooper escort at every game for security. It seems to be the same one all year long – a plum assignment for a highly senior trooper. Brent Musberger attributes the following quote to Coach Bowden’s current escort: Coach, if you end up going to Idaho for a bowl game, [...]

Shades of the 90′s! FSU ran a punt back, seemingly hundreds of yards but probably only dozens, for a touchdown. On the following drive by Virginia Tech, FSU intercepted deep in their own territory. Weatherford strung together several medium-deep passes capped off with yet another touchdown. For a brief second I thought I was back [...]

At halftime, we have a 3 – 3 tie. I expected Virginia Tech’s defense to play well, and FSU’s defensive effort has been a pleasant surprise. Only time will tell if we can keep it up.

After last week’s miserable performance, the Seminoles can tonight salvage a rough season and get a bid to a BCS bowl by beating Virginia Tech to win ACC Championship. When FSU joined the ACC, it was primarily a basketball conference. The original teams, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia, Maryland, Clemson, Wake Forest, and Georgia [...]
