I've got an announcement to make.
Two weeks ago I decided to quit my job and go all in with @TheNoleGameday and @BucsGameday.
Today, it all becomes official and I'll be taking on the role of Editor-In-Chief.
#FSU RB Tre Wisner has already been ruled out for the trip to Pittsburghโฆ
Looks like true freshman Amari Thomas will make his first career start. #Noles
In both games, #FSU faced an early deficit, scored 30+ points, won by 7, and an unlikely hero emerged (2019: Jordan Travis, 2026: Amari Thomas).
It was like Dรฉjร vu. #Noles
Pretty wild how the last two times FSU made a head coaching change, they ended up going to Boston College and winning their first game with an interim coach. Seven years apart, same opponent, same result. Throwing it back to a recap I shot and edited from the 2019 game.
Good to see Bradyn Welch-Joiner with the team in the postgame locker room. Looks like Malachi Marshall traveled as well.
Stockstill and Ernie dancing ๐
Rick Stockstill's passion for #FSU stood out when he was asked about what he hoped the Seminoles would take away from today.
"I think the big thing that I hope they take from here is how much I love them, and I know it's been a short time, but how much I care about this program and no matter what happens moving forward, that they'll always give their heart, their greatest effort, their passion, to this football program, and never take it a game, a play, where you think you take it for granted."
"You have an obligation, you have a responsibility when you put that Florida State helmet on to represent coach Bowden and this football program, all of the former players, the way you're supposed to represent it." #Noles
Full quote from Stockstill:
"No sir, I didn't put it in. Herb Hand, our offensive line coach, put it in. We didn't have it previously, before this game. We put it in over the weekend, and we thought we had a look.
We had a check out of it if they didn't give us the look we wanted, but my thought process behind it was, there wasn't a lot of time left in the first half, maybe in the 20-second range. We were down three. So in my mind, I'm thinking that they're thinking, 'hey, they're just going to get it tied up and go into halftime at 17,' so I said, 'let's do it'.
We did it, got the look we wanted, we kept it. Derek [SID] said, I don't know if a lot of people thought about it, I hadn't thought about it, but Gabe scores his first touchdown at least in college, maybe in his life. Now he's got to run back there and kick the extra point. I wasn't even thinking about that.
At halftime, coming off, they asked me, 'why'd you do it?' and the first thing going through my mind is I've got coach Bowden blood in me. You know, he'd run a trick play or two himself, so maybe he's smiling down on me right now."
#FSU interim head coach Rick Stockstill revealed that Herb Hand was actually the one who came up with the fake field goal.
The Seminoles installed the play over the weekend. Incredible. #Noles
Former #FSU DL KJ Sampson, who transferred to Boston College over the offseason, just came over to congratulate Rick Stockstill on the victory.
Classy. #Noles
FINAL: #FSU CLIMBs back from a double-digit deficit to defeat Boston College in Chestnut Hill, 31-24.
The Seminoles advance to 4-5 (2-4 ACC) and need two victories in their final three games to make the postseason. #Noles
In #FSU's first game without Mike Norvell, the Seminoles snap a program-worst 12-game losing streak.
Florida State wins outside of Tallahassee for the first time since November 25, 2023. #Noles
