If you believe internet reports, LSU seems to have turned its attention to Houston Coach Tom Herman. ESPN reported that the school could sign Herman to a new contract by Saturday. Fisher had been reported in several locations, especially those out of New Orleans, in saying that he was the No. 1 target of LSU. Reports said Fisher was seeking a $7 million…

Sunshine State Award: Surprise! FSU’s Dalvin Cook wins it again

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Dalvin Cook must be getting used to the recognition. Once again, the Sunshine State Award is his. Cook, the FSU running back who shattered the school’s all-time record last week against Syracuse, has won this honor several times. His 225, four-touchdown performance against the Orangemen is only the latest. Cook faces a difficult week this week against the Florida Gators in what may be his final home game for the Seminoles.

Florida’s offense, FSU’s defense face challenges in rivalry game

in Sports/Top Headlines by

How in the world can Florida score enough points to beat FSU? And how in the world can FSU play enough defense to beat Florida? It’s the old movable object-resistible force debate. The poor Gators struggled mightily on offense — this is hardly fun nor a gun. The Seminoles play chase on defense. So how can either team win? You have to give credit to Gators’ coach Jim McElwain, who has found a way to win eight games with the…

FSU’s Dalvin Cook still should emulate ex-Nole Warrick Dunn

in Sports/Top Headlines by

A little advice for Dalvin Cook. When it comes to Warrick Dunn, perhaps he should keep chasing. Cook surpassed Dunn’s school record at Florida State for rushing Saturday – shattered the record, he did – in a victory over Syracuse. It was even more impressive that it took him less than three seasons to break the marks that Dunn set in four. Cook now has 4,166 yards to Dunn’s 3,959 yards. (Cook has carried the ball 38 more times than…

The Predictions: LSU’s running game aims at Florida’s defense

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Most of the time, Florida’s defense has been excellent. Most of the time, they’ve swarmed runners and draped receivers and put the heat on quarterbacks. Most of the time, they’ve led the way to victory. Most of the time. But not always. Florida’s defense was exploited in the second half of the Tennessee game, and throughout the game against Arkansas. That’s enough for questions as the Gators travel to LSU for their rescheduled game Saturday. The Gators are third nationally,…

Five things to wonder about in the FSU-Syracuse game

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Five things to wonder about the FSU-Syracuse game on Sunday: Does Syracuse stand a chance? It wouldn’t appear so. The Orangemen have struggled defensively all season, and with Deondre Francois and Dalvin Cook coming to town, things don’t get easier. Cook is the seventh-leading rusher in the nation. Francois is the 25th-ranked passer, and the top-rated freshman passer, in the country. Syracuse has stayed even with some teams on its way to a 4-6 record, but quarterback Eric Dungey (the…
