Post-Season Skirmish
Brooks prepares his Seminoles for their upcoming bowl game with LSU.


#24 #11


Wilder takes a screen pass 40 yards for a touchdown

​

A tightly contested ball game which saw LSU lead by 11 at halftime and later FSU would take a 10 point lead with 2:03 remaining in the ball game. The Noles forced a punt with four and change remaining and then punched in a TD to send them up 10, LSU picked the wrong time to punt the ball away and cut the score to 3 in which they had to turn to an onside kick which failed and sent the Seminoles back to Tallahassee winners.

Players Leaving Update​

Two juniors thinking about declaring early, one being SS Karlos Williams
Three wanting to transfer out including former 5 star DT Eddie Goldman. He wants to go to Navy
Two players projected first rounders, LOLB Christian Jones and FS Terrence Brooks.

*Noles update will happened sometime tomorrow when the players make their final decisions​

​

Derwin Gray, Albert Reid, Azubuike Ukandu and Cavon Walker are all transferring.

Johnny Manziel didnt even consider leaving early for the draft

Mike Evans did consider it, but persuaded him to come back. Two underclassmen transferring, but not too concerned about em.

​

• Eric Ebron (TE) has been convinced to stay for senior season.
• RJ Prince and Phillip Williamson will transfer. Prince to Old Dominion and Williamson to Memphis
• 6 seniors declare for draft. Renner (R4), Blue (R5), Kareem Martin (R6), Tim Jackson (R4), James Hurst (R3) and Tre Boston (R3)

Miami got the shaft in the polls.

I'm saying screwed relative to the other ACC schools in the polls...

Moving this to the right section while I have a few minutes.

- Brandon Shell (89 OVR RT) has decided to stay, citing a college degree as his main priority.
- Victor Hampton (87 OVR CB) has decided to return for his senior year, citing a degree and a chance to help his draft stock as reasons to stick around.
- 4 seniors are graduating RG Ronald Patrick, QB Connor Shaw, LE Chaz Sutton, and CB Jimmy Legree.

Draft Prospects...

- Chaz Sutton is being graded as a 4th round prospect, but after the stats he posted this year he may move up higher with a good showing in the combine.
- Ronald Patrick is currently projected in the 6th round with a large pool of linemen making it hard for the high performing Patrick to be considered as anything higher.
- Connor Shaw is currently being projected as undrafted by some analysts, but Mel Kiper says he wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't use a late round pick on his athleticism and hope to teach him up to being a career backup (7th round maybe...it has happened in all of the simmed seasons I've done)
- Brandon Shell and Victor Hampton were both being projected in the 6th round, but will both have a chance to build on their resumes before taking a shot at Sunday football.

Offensive coordinator decided to take Mizzou job. Former Mizzou coach, Pinkel, has been announced as Texas A&M offensive coordinator.

DC Mark Snyder is becoming a head coach as well. He is the proud new coach of Kansas State. I guess its an easy sell when your name is on the stadium

Everyone came back, including Thorpe award winner Jaylen Watkins. We're coming for what we should have won this past season.

​

Players Leaving Update​

ROLB Freddy Stevenson will transfer to USA.
CB Marquez White will transfer to USA.
C Austin Barron will stay for his senior year.
SS Karlos Williams will stay for his senior year.
DT Eddie Goldman will return to FSU instead of transferring out.

​

ACC rocks!
