It Aint Rocket Science!


You want to know why we lost to Miami and struggled against JSU a Div 1-AA School......well I will learn ya.

FSU's 3rd down conversion percentage was 46.2%


The Miami Game

It is always about running the football. It is the most fundamental aspect of winning football. Running the football keeps the clock running. It keeps the other team's offense off the field. With the other teams offense off the field it sure makes your Defense real good.

Class dismissed!
