It’s Friday, Florida State fans. As your weekend nears, 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
Florida State head coach Willie Taggart spent just one year in the Pac-12 as head man at Oregon, but hasn’t ruled out a return to the West Coast.
According to a report from the Tallahassee Democrat, the Seminoles are considering contests with USC, UCLA and Stanford. Florida State defeated USC 14-7 in the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1997 and 30-10 in Tallahassee the following year.
The lone prior meeting between Florida State and UCLA came in the 2006 Emerald Bowl with the Seminoles emerging victorious, 44-27. FSU did play at the Rose Bowl — the Bruins’ home stadium — to conclude the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Taggart served as running backs coach at Stanford from 2007-09, but the Cardinal have never faced FSU on the gridiron.
