in Sports by

Alabama quarterback Jake Coker has seen a lot since he left St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Mobile, Alabama. He was not heavily recruited, but received a scholarship offer from Florida State University after Jimbo Fisher saw his skills. Though Alabama finally offered Coker a scholarship late in the recruiting process, he enrolled at FSU. Coker saw a lot of the bench during his two years in Tallahassee. Other quarterbacks either on the roster or redshirting were E.J. Manuel, Clint Trickett,…

For FSU, J.J. Consentino is now the backup quarterback

in Sports/Top Headlines by

He is one twist of an ankle away. One pulled hamstring. One aching wrist. So, are you prepared to see J.J. Consentino at quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles? Consentino is now the Seminoles’ backup quarterback following the “personal decision” of former starter Everett Golson not to accompany the team to the Peach Bowl.

in Sports/Top Headlines by

As Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher prepares for Saturday’s game against No. 10 Florida, he sees a mirror image of his own squad. “It’s funny how that evolves.

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?
