Noles247 Podcast: Fsu Football, Recruiting And More

The Florida State Seminoles did not have the results fans expected coming off an upset win over No. 5 North Carolina. Instead they went on the road to Louisville and were embarrassed by a score of 48-16. FSU got the scoring going on an 8-yard touchdown run by QB Jordan Travis, but that would be the last time the Seminoles would hold a lead. Louisville demolished the 'Noles in every facet of the game on Saturday. FSU falls to 2-4 on the season, including 1-4 against Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles are now 0-3 on the road this season. Head coach Mike Norvell falls to 0-1 all-time against the Cardinals. Louisville earned their first conference victory, moving to 2-4 overall and 1-4 against ACC opponents. Cardinals' head coach Scott Satterfield is now 1-1 against FSU. The Cardinals are 5-16 all-time against FSU with the victory. They are 3-6 against FSU in Louisville. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Louisville in the series.

What a difference a year makes. Exactly one year ago, Florida State fell to Wake Forest in a rain-soaked game that was the straw before the straw that broke the camel’s back during the Willie Taggart Era.  We left that game on Oct. 19 feeling uncertain of the future of the program, but certain that a change was needed...and as we reported then, likely imminent. Fast forward a full year later. FSU, while still very much so a work in progress, has hope and a clear direction under Mike Norvell.  On The Bench gets into the reasons why we’re feeling optimistic about FSU’s growth after a 31-28 win over North Carolina in the latest episode.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The 'Noles took down No.5 North Carolina in a thrilling primetime victory 31-28 inside Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.

They needed every bit of that to hold on as the Tar Heels (3-1, 3-1 ACC) stormed back in the second half and had the ball in the final two minutes with a chance to win. The Seminoles would hold on for the win, Josh Newberg and Chris Nee are here for your Instant Reaction Victory Podcast!!

Bryant McFadden was an all-conference performer while at Florida State, a second-round draft pick, an eventual Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is currently an accomplished analyst for CBSSports. He’s succeeded at everything he’s done. But one accomplishment eludes him: Beating Miami. This is missing from the South Florida product’s résumé. McFadden, who is starting his own podcast ‘All Things Covered’ with his cousin and star cornerback Patrick Peterson, joins On The Bench to discuss the bitterness of the UM-FSU rivalry, which rival fan base is most annoying to him, and why he’s preaching patience under Mike Norvell.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
