A Perfect Ending


Florida State beat #16 West Virginia 33 to 21 in Bobby Bowden's and Mickey Andrew's last game. After a typical start by the FSU defense the Seminoles started getting after the Mountaineers and provided an "old school" glimpse of swarming defense and knocked out West Virginia's starting QB Jarrett Brown. After that it was blood in the water as the Noles came after true freshman QB Geno Smith.

The defense was helped tremendously by FSU's offensive game plan which put up 415 total yards with 226 yards rushing. This caused a huge disparity in time of possession in favor of FSU 37:07 to 22:53. Redshirt Freshman QB Manuel was perfect. He played within his means and didn't turn the ball over.

Since Starting the season 2-4 FSU went 5-2 the rest of the way and 3-1 with Manuel at QB. The future is bright.

It was great to see Bowden throw down the spear. Thanks Coach Bowden for all the great memories and I hope you have a long and healthy retirement. God Bless!
