- From the beginning of the season we knew we weren’t going to judge this team by what happened in this game. It was the USF and Virginia games that hurt us, not this one.
- We actually ran the ball pretty well in this one. The maligned George Morris had 55 yards in 6 carries. Overall we ran for 173 yards on 42 carries and 2 scores.
- It was great to see Brisley Estime motor on by those Noles on his punt return for a score. They may have faster players than most of our guys but Brisley made them look like they were standing still. The Salt Badger roared!!!!
Did you know he came into this game as the #2 punt returner in the country with a 20.7 average? His average actually didn’t budge in this game, despite the 59 yard TD. This was an average game for him! Remember the bad old days when our returner would signal for a fair catch even before the punter’s foot hit the ball?
- Our defense was actually kind of a mixed bag. Sometimes we were pretty good. Other times we were awful. But we forced half a dozen punts and two field goal attempts, one of which was missed. Four of Florida State’s possessions were three and outs. We had four tackles for losses and a sack. It wasn’t all bad.
- As Chris Spielman said, our effort never lagged, even when we fell hopelessly behind. You get tired of hearing that, though.
- We got to the 20 point mark, which we’ve done every game this year. We did it once on the last nine games last year, (exactly 20). Our last team to score at least 20 points in every game? 1959. Our last team to score at least 20 points in every regular season game? 1987. We’re not bad. We’re just not there yet.
3-5 with 4 or 5 to strive for!
LET’S GO ORANGE!!!!
