It’s the weekend, Florida State fans. As you prepare for the holidays, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post may be updated throughout the day.

Taylor finished his junior season with 19 tackles, one for loss, a forced fumble and an interception that was returned 63 yards for a touchdown to cement a 36-26 win over Samford. Taylor missed the entire month of November.
