Football flashback: When FSU overcame Russell Wilson’s greatness

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The season was disappointing. A lot like this one. The opposing quarterback was terrific. A lot like the Seminoles have played this season. And the outcome was perfect. Whether FSU can repeat it this week against North Carolina State remains to be seen. It was in 2009, and FSU pulled out a 45-42 victory over the Wolfpack, always a tough opponent, in one of the wildest games in memory. For one thing, the Seminoles had to survive the play of…
