FSU team finally coming together in time to play Clemson

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For most of the football season, the FSU football team was giving out reasons why it couldn’t complete. The quarterback was too young. The running back was too hurt. The defense was too weak. Now, with two weeks to go before the Tigers come town, the Seminoles have suddenly taken on the look of a team that has a chance. The quarterback, Deondre Francois, has proven to be a tough competitor, although coach Jimbo Fisher winces with all the hits…

FSU coach Jimbo Fisher: Was Donald Trump in a locker room?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, told of the recent “locker-room talk” defense of presidential candidate Donald Trump, had one simple question in response. “Was he in a locker room?” Fisher asked. Fisher was asked how he handled it when he heard players saying anything derogatory. “Tell the kids to quit it,” he said. “If someone is making a racial slur, that guy … we don’t need that. If they’re making derogatory remarks toward women, we’re not going to do that.…

Overnight, FSU’s defense has become among the worst in nation

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Suddenly, they are Rice. Suddenly, they are Hawaii. The defense of the Florida State Seminoles, usually a team strength, is playing chase. Receivers are streaming downfield. Quarterbacks are slicing and dicing. Running backs are shaking and baking. Kickers are mock-chopping with glee. Sheesh. What gives? Overnight, it seems, the defense of the Seminoles is tragically weak. Against FBS opponents (everyone but Charleston Southern), the Seminoles are allowing 42.5 points per game. They are giving up 6.98 yards per play, ahead…

Loss to North Carolina helped spur FSU’s recent success

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Can losing really teach a team more lessons than losing? Can defeat point the proper way to play? Maybe. Just as the FSU Seminoles, although they wouldn’t have said it at the time. It was 2010, Jimbo Fisher’s first season, and the Seminoles dropped a 37-35 shootout to the Tar Heels in Tallahassee. Most the time that the two schools have played football, FSU has had its way. It has a 15-2 all time lead. But not in 2010. FSU…

Frankly, Jimbo Fisher already has a better job than LSU

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Jimbo Fisher, still of FSU, isn’t talking. And what does that say? The LSU football job had been open, oh, about nine seconds before Fisher’s name was mentioned again. If you remember, LSU reportedly had “ongoing” negotiations with Fisher (Fisher denies it) when the school was considering canning Les Miles after last season before Miles saved his job. This time, both Houston’s Tom Herman, one of the hottest commodities out there, and Fisher were quickly mentioned. “I ain’t talking about…

FSU insists nothing is wrong with running back Dalvin Cook

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Everyone expected the running back to be one of the best in the nation. Everyone expected to see nothing of Dalvin Cook but heels and elbows. So far, the FSU running back has been ordinary. It is one of the staggering sights of the young college football season. A year ago, Cook was sensational. This year, he has not been. Through three games, Cook has only 288 yards rushing, and he’s scored only twice. Compare his average of 4.6 to the…

FSU hopes to take frustrations out on USF Bulls Saturday

in Sports by

The FSU Seminoles, beaten with their pride bruised, try to get well this week against USF. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher spoke Monday after his team was drubbed 63-20 by Louisville last week. IN particular, he praised defensive coordinator Charles Kelly. “You go back to work,” Fisher said. “Worrying about it ain’t going to change it. Going back to work, and knowing, trusting in yourself, trusting you know ball, how you do it. You have bad games, people question you all the…
