Florida State makes it 28 consecutive years of Bowl Eligibility. In a sub par season the players never quit and kept a streak alive when everything was on the line.

EJ Manuel just threw his third interception and the defense was allowing Maryland to drive at will and score. Not this time. The defense made the stop which forced Maryland to punt to the electrifying Greg Reid and he worked his magic giving FSU great field position with a little over a minute to go.

Manuel then took over with his legs running for 15 yards and 20 yards on consecutive plays. He then hit Easterling on the 3 yard line which was followed by the second TD of the game for Lonnie Pryor with approximately 30 seconds left in the game. The defense held Maryland at the end of the game on their desperate flea-flicking attempt to get a TD.

So what now? Will it be a beating at the Swamp? Will the Gators toy with the Noles and embarrass Seminole Nation once again? Honestly that is probably true, but I know one thing, these players will not quit and they never give up and when you have that type of attitude miracles can happen.
