Guessing which way FSU’s Jimbo Fisher will go at quarterback vs. Clemson

in Sports/Top Headlines by

FSU’s Jimbo Fisher isn’t saying. Whatever he plans to do with his quarterback, however he plans to attack the Clemson Tigers, he’s keeping it to himself. Even if he knows. Does he start Everett Golson, his starter for much of this season? The guy with the ability to escape defennders? The guy with 11 touchdowns? Or does he go with the hot hand in Sean Maguire? The guy who looked so good against Syracuse? The guy who beat Clemson last…

For the first time in three years Florida State returned to the practice field to begin preparing for an upcoming game coming off a regular-season loss.

Week 6 college football by the numbers

in Sports/Top Headlines by

A memorable game occurred in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday, but several individual and team performances were also worthy of mention. Here, by the numbers, are just a few. 712 – Passing yards allowed by Florida State’s defensive unit over the last two games against Miami and Louisville; both wins, but a cause for concern for the near future (see the next item). Louisville’s freshman QB Lamar Jackson threw for 307 in the Cardinals’ 41-21 loss to FSU. 532 –…

Not bad for a guy motoring on one healthy hamstring. His bad wheel has the attention of FSU coaches and fans, not to mention opponents.

No. 11 Florida State not flashy but just keep winning

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Florida State doesn’t have the flashy offense of two years ago, when the Seminoles averaged 51.6 points en route to their third national championship. They also aren’t the Cardiac Seminoles of a season ago, where they won six games in the fourth quarter. But the one thing this year’s Florida State team has in common is it keeps winning. Saturday’s 29-24 win over Miami extended the Seminoles regular-season win streak to 32 and marked their 27th straight in Atlantic Coast…
