Fisher has won at least 10 games in five of his six seasons at FSU. Florida State is the measuring stick for them now.

The game was sloppy and not heavy on well-played football offensively.
The drive reached fourth-and-2 from FSU’s 20. That was one of my favorites. Quarterback will be a position to watch, obviously, as will the secondary (outside of Derwin James, who is tremendous) but FSU will be a team to watch next season.
The Gators (10-1) haven’t dominated anyone in November. 21-13 Gators is my prediction. And it’s obvious this team greatly misses starting quarterback Will Grier, who was suspended in mid-October for testing positive for a NCAA-banned substance. Our practices during that week were always very intense. This game means alot to us. Beat Alabama in the Georgia Dome and the Gators can claim the SEC title and are headed to a New Year’s Six. “They basically did throw a shutout as they didn’t allow any points”. We will be ready to play. “Those guys up the road, we don’t like them and they don’t like us”. No production lately and not enough passion.
After all the ugly wins, FSU exposed Florida’s offense for what it is: An absolute mess. I see that keeping up at home against the hated rival.
Rubio, the Florida senator who now sits at third in the Washington Examiner’s presidential power rankings, tweeted out his support for the Gators before the game.
Eight straight inside buckets put Florida up 14-10. Otherwise, it might have been Florida and playing in an all-SEC national championship.
Florida will take on Florida State in a rivalry week matchup that may have playoff implications. Yet, Dalvin Cook’s 183 yards and two scores on 26 carries clearly was more than Florida could handle. If Austin Hardin shows up for once, the Gators will win in a close one 17-16.
“He’s mentioned it a lot, actually”, safety Keanu Neal said.
At the break, Gators coaches and players got loud, White said. I predict the Gators by 7. Florida managed a late drive but it ended with a missed field goal. That’s my favorite moment. We win 33-14. It was “save us, Kelvin Taylor, you’re our only hope” bad.
“You know, we just can’t sit there and be target practice for these creatures”. I knew we would win.
With so much at stake, it raises the intensity in a series that was once considered one of the most significant in college football. Both teams will play hard. Moreover, the last three quarterbacks to play for the Seminoles were all drafted in the first round. Our coach believes in our team and so do I. “I feel like we did that”. Even in a season when FSU fell short of contending for the big-time championships, suffocating the Gators at the Swamp will stand as a season-making accomplishment.
Offensive lineman Jonathan Marvin (01-05)Memorable Moment: My favorite memory would have to be winning at Doak Campbell in 2004.
“Give them credit. They won the game. You don’t just come into Gainesville and win three in a row”. He then scored on a 29-yard run with 20 seconds to play to account for the final score.
It took a special-teams break for the Seminoles to break the ice.
“We had a lot of confidence coming back in”, Terrell, whose nine points led FGCU, said of the start of the second half. “I’m really excited about the opportunity”. It’s safe to say he’ll be a focal point of this game. He’s probably handled and done as good a job with his skill set (as he can), as far as helping some of those things moving forward.
