GAME PREVIEW: FLORIDA STATE
BY ANDREW OWENS
F
lorida State not only won 14
games in 2013, the last of which
earned the program a national
championship, but it did so in
historically convincing fashion.
With then-redshirt freshman quarter-
back Jameis Winston accumulating 44
total touchdowns to just 10 intercep-
tions, the Seminoles won by an average
of 39.5 points per game. Only in the BCS
National Championship Game — where
the Seminoles trailed Auburn 21-3 be-
fore winning 34-31 — did an opponent
have a chance of winning in the second
half.
This year, it's been a different story
for the undefeated Seminoles, who have
quickly learned that repeating is a whole
new challenge.
CHALLENGED
But Still
Unbeaten
Florida State continues to win every
week, just not as easily as it did
during a 14-0 season in 2013
Head coach Jimbo Fisher has guided the Seminoles
to an ACC-record 22 consecutive victories, which is
the longest active win streak in the nation.
