No. 15 Fla. State looks to extend streak over No. 13 Florida

According to The Advocate, the 16-10 loss at home to the Gators – on a do-or-die run from the 1-yard line in the final seconds – opens the door to a pool of candidates, led by Fisher, and ends a potential plan to quickly name Orgeron the Tigers’ new head coach.

Florida State (8-3) has rolled to wins over Boston College and Syracuse by a combined score of 90-21 while limiting them to 379 total yards. As a freshman, sophomore and junior, it kind of grew on me. The Gators sense the Seminoles are beatable for the first time in awhile. “That makes us want to run and push and pile and run with him”.

Brandon Powell was the one that spearheaded the conversation with McElwain.

“He should be fine, but Leonard’s day-to-day with that ankle, obviously”, head coach Ed Orgeron said “That’s how it works with stuff like that, but we’ll see. And as long as we keep bringing that attitude, keep bringing that great focus, we will be OK”.

LSU was poor throwing the ball on early downs, which encouraged UF to load up against the run even more. He’s running people over. The Gators put up 3.2 yards/play against Georgia, 4.73 against Arkansas (the worst defense the SEC has seen in years), 6.41 against SC and 5.2 on LSU. The new year can’t get here soon enough for Hugh Freeze. “The sign of consistency is what helps you be successful in whatever you’re doing”.

As mentioned, Cleveland had a huge play.

It isn’t the first time that LSU has flirted with the possibility of handing the keys to the program to Fisher, but it looks like the Tigers could finally be making a serious play to land the Seminoles leading man.

One can find Florida with 34 votes in the, “Others receiving votes”, section on the AP Top 25 Poll from this recent week.

Nnadi said there’s nothing complicated or pretty about playing defense when all 11 players are taking their stances or standing in their own end zone. Florida State is out of the running for the ACC Championship Game and is headed for a second-tier bowl, so Fisher will have some time to decide if LSU offers him the job. This is the way I want to be remembered. He actually called that touchdown (from the sideline).

The same could be said for Cook, who bounced back from a slow first three games of the season and was named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation’s top running back. “He came through for us”. Being here now, each year they’ve got great players and we’ve got great players. We found a win, but we still have a lot of things that we need to build on.

McElwain shows that maybe his letting LSU bleed on Saturday was just a temporary bout of inflated confidence with the nice – albeit dated – choice of Earth, Wind & Fire. “That’s good. That’s helping us out”. It’s no surprise the Gators are exhausted of playing second fiddle to the Seminoles.

“He’s always having fun”.

“We believed”, Appleby said.

Florida has not scored 30 points in more than a month, and has not done so against a team with a winning record since September 10 (Kentucky). Just recognize that the two jobs are similar in level of prestige and that LSU doesn’t have too many unique advantages over an FSU and vice versa. But these guys had motivation in what could possibly still lie ahead. UF’s two wins against Georgia were followed by a nailbiter against Vanderbilt and a thrashing at Arkansas.

“It was just taking it game by game”, Powell said.

You know the old saying – it takes money to make money. Miles would have been even more marketable past year without the four-game clunker that ultimately did cost him his job, and therefore it’s entirely possible firing Miles would have cost the school nothing – or better put, it would have cost LSU’s boosters nothing, because it was outside money which was committed to pay that buyout.

We saw another one of these games Saturday as LSU took on Florida.
