in Sports/Top Headlines by

For FSU, the objective will not to be to get into trouble. The goal will be to cause a little of the right kind of it.

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Florida State’s Seminoles aren’t as high in the poll rankings as usual, and certainly, they aren’t as high as their fans would like. To some, however, Jimbo Fisher’s FSU  team is overrated.

Court might determine the future of FSU running back Dalvin Cook

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Will the absence of a video save Dalvin Cook? Or has Cook carried the ball for the final time at FSU? It may be up to the court to decide. Not long ago, it seemed that Cook, the sophomore running back from Miami, was running toward stardom. He was the MVP of the ACC title game, and he gained more than 1,000 yards in his freshman season.

Media picks FSU to finish second, for a change, in ACC race

Could someone not named Florida State win the ACC for a change? Maybe. Media members at the ACC media days picked Clemson – Clemson! – to win the league title this season, which would represent quite a changing of the guard. FSU has won three straight titles, and the Seminoles have 24-game conference winning streak. Most of the off-season polls, understandably, have looked to FSU to be the team to beat once again.
