It’s Sunday, Florida State fans and for the first time in 2017, the Seminoles are in the win column. Keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics as we update the news and notes section throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State won’t go winless for September and won’t start 0-3 for the first time since 1976 — Bobby Bowden’s first year as head coach.
The Seminoles avoided disaster, thanks to a 40-yard touchdown pass from James Blackman to Auden Tate with less than a minute to play on Saturday to down previously undefeated Wake Forest, 26-19. With games against ranked Miami, Louisville, Clemson and Florida teams still on the schedule, the contest was must-win for FSU to keep the nation’s longest bowl streak alive.
Florida State will host 14th-ranked Miami this upcoming week. The contest was originally scheduled for Sept. 16, but moved because of Hurricane Irma.
Between the Lines
FSU football defeated Wake Forest on Saturday, 26-19. FSU women’s tennis competed in the Bedford Cup and Wildcat Invitational. The men took part in the All American Pre-Qualifying/Qualifying.
On the Agenda
FSU women’s tennis will resume the Bedford Cup on Sunday. Both them and the men’s team will take part in the All American Pre-Qualifying/Qualifying. FSU men’s golf begins the Marquette Intercollegiate. The women start the 3M Annika Invitational. FSU volleyball will be at Notre Dame at 1 p.m. EST on ACC Network Extra.
News and Notes
FSU fell from 25th to unranked in the Amway Coaches Poll on Sunday.
