It’s Tuesday, Florida State fans. As your day and week go on, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
It will be an all-SEC national championship after Georgia and Alabama advanced Monday with semifinal victories.
The Bulldogs defeated Oklahoma 54-48 in two overtimes at the Rose Bowl after rallying from 17 points down. After blocking a Sooner field goal in the first part of the second overtime, Sony Michel scored the game-winning 27-yard touchdown to send Georgia to Atlanta.
In a rematch of the last two national championships, Alabama defeated Clemson in the Sugar Bowl, 24-6. Two third quarter touchdowns in a 13-second span by Da’Ron Payne and Mack Wilson proved too much for the Tigers to overcome.
The teams will meet next Monday in Atlanta. With Clemson’s loss, the ACC finishes 4-6 in bowl games. FSU opponents for 2017 are currently 4-4.
