2017 FSU FOOTBALL | VS. ALABAMA

FSU HEADS TO SHREVEPORT FOR 36TH STRAIGHT BOWL GAME » Florida State is making its 36th consecutive bowl appearance, a streak that began with the 1982 Gator Bowl.

First Season at FSU | 9th Season as Head Coach | 20th Season Overall in 2018

Florida native Willie Taggart, considered one of the best offensive minds in the country and a relentless recruiter, was named Florida State’s 10th full-time head coach on Dec. 5, 2017.

Taggart returns to the Sunshine State, where he was the head coach at the University of South Florida from 2013-16, after one season as head coach at the University of Oregon. He began his head coaching career at his alma mater, Western Kentucky University, from 2010-12 after serving as an assistant from 1999-2006. Between his tenures at

Western Kentucky, he was an assistant coach at Stanford from 2007-09.

Taggart has led remarkable turnarounds at each of his three previous head coaching positions. In the season prior to his hire, the programs Taggart inherited were a combined 7-29, and the best team he took over was a 4-8 Oregon squad. His overall record is 47-50, including a 25-12 mark since the start of the 2015 season. In that same timespan, his offenses are averaging 38.02 points per game, the fourth-highest total among FBS head coaches behind only Mike Gundy, Kliff Kingsbury and Urban Meyer.

Taggart jumped out to a hot start at Oregon, leading the Ducks to a 77-21 win in his first game in Eugene. The point total tied for the highest in the NCAA in 2017, was Oregon’s highest since 1916 and included a school-record nine rushing touchdowns. The offensive fireworks continued as Oregon scored 42 first-half points in each of the first three games of the season, marking the first time in school history the program scored at least 42 points in one half in three straight games. The Ducks began the season 5-1 and completed a 7-5 regular season with another offensive explosion, defeating rival Oregon State 69-10 for the team’s seventh 40-point offensive output of the season.

Oregon currently ranks in the top 30 in the NCAA in 11 different statistical categories, including boasting the eighth-best rushing offense in the country rushing for 268.0 yards per game and the 18th-highest scoring offense averaging 36.7 points per game. On defense, the Ducks rank 17th in the country in fourth-down defense allowing a .391 conversion percentage and 20th in third-down defense at .324. The defense had one of the best performances of the season against Arizona’s Khalil Tate, who ranks sixth in the NCAA with an average of 135.3 rushing yards per game, holding him to only 32 yards rushing in a 48-28 victory.

Taggart, from nearby Bradenton, returned to the Tampa Bay area to take over a South Florida team that won three games in 2012 and turned the Bulls into one of the most exciting programs in the country by 2016. In his final year at the helm in Tampa, Taggart led South Florida to a 10-2 record and No. 25 ranking in the final regular season poll, the team’s first ranking since 2011 and only the second time in program history the Bulls were ranked at the end of the regular season. His offense averaged 43.6 points per game, ranking seventh in the country, and was fifth in the nation averaging 291.8 rushing yards per game. The 2016 season also marked the first time since 2010 the Bulls qualified for back-to-back bowl games.

With Taggart serving as the primary play caller, his offense broke 33 program records in 2016, including scoring, total touchdowns, total yards, rushing yards, yards per play, yards per rush and points per game. Quarterback Quinton Flowers was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year after becoming the first USF player to post 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in the same season, highlighting a program-record 10 all-conference selections.

Taggart helped build the offensive juggernaut with the top-ranked recruiting classes in the AAC in both 2014 and 2015. He also oversaw a vast im-provement in the classroom while at USF, which improved its Graduation Success Rate in each of his four seasons and boasted a program-record 38 academic all-conference honorees in 2015.

His first head coaching job was one of the most difficult reclamation projects in the country, taking over his alma mater that had lost 20 games in a row. He quickly led Western Kentucky to its first two winning seasons since transitioning from FCS to FBS and in 2012 saw the program reach its first bowl game. The Hilltoppers had a 12-2 stretch from Oct. 2011 through Oct. 2012 with their only two losses coming to the No. 1-ranked teams in the coun-try (LSU and Alabama). Taggart again made a splash in recruiting as he signed the top class in the Sun Belt in 2010 and 2011.

Prior to being named head coach at WKU, Taggart was the running backs coach at Stanford, where he helped tutor 2009 Doak Walker Award winner, Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and consensus first-team All-American Toby Gerhart. That year, Gerhart’s average of 144.7 rushing yards per game helped the Cardinal rank second in the Pac-10 and 11th in the nation with 224.3 yards per game on the ground and break the school’s single-season rushing record that had stood for 60 years with 2,481 total yards. The team also led the Pac-10 in total offense with an average of 441.4 yards per game.

Taggart’s time as an assistant at Western Kentucky started in 1999 as wide receivers coach before shifting to coach quarterbacks in 2000, a position group he continued to coach for the rest of his time at WKU. He added co-offensive coordinator duties for the 2001 and 2002 seasons and served as assistant head coach for his final four years.

Taggart helped direct an offense that set school records with 432 points, 5,749 yards of total offense and 263 first downs on the way to the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA national championship. That season, the Hilltoppers ranked second in the nation in pass efficiency and sixth in rushing yards per game. The offense saved its best performances for the playoffs, where it averaged 38.8 points per game in the four postseason wins.

Under Taggart’s guidance from 2003-06, quarterback Justin Haddix set school records with 8,890 yards of total offense, a 57.1 completion percentage, 50 touchdowns and a 137.28 pass efficiency rating. Haddix also ranked second in program history with 541 completions and 7,929 passing yards.

Taggart transitioned to coaching after authoring a playing career that ranks among the best in school history. He was the program’s starting quarter-back all four years and broke 11 school records, highlighted by his 47 rushing touchdowns, and left school holding the NCAA Division I record for rushing yards by a quarterback. He also ranked second in program history with 286 points, a 127.71 pass efficiency rating and 3,997 rushing yards and tied for third with 17 100-yard rushing games and for fourth with 30 touchdown passes.

Taggart was recruited to Western Kentucky following a prep career at Bradenton’s Manatee High School. There, he was a first-team all-state and all-con-ference selection as a senior after directing the Hurricanes to the 5A state championship game. He earned his bachelor’s degree in social sciences from Western Kentucky in 1998.

Taggart and his wife, Taneshia, have two sons, Willie Jr. and Jackson, and one daughter, Morgan.

HEAD COACH WILLIE TAGGART


4 SEMINOLES.COM

Odell Haggins was named Florida State’s interim head coach on Dec. 1, 2017, and the next day led the Seminoles to a 42-10 victory over ULM that clinched bowl eligibility for the 36th straight year. Haggins, the longest-tenured member of the Florida State coaching staff, was promoted to associate head coach in 2014 and has helped FSU post a 234-74-1 (.759) record in his time on staff.

He is in his 24th season at the school where he starred on the defensive line from 1986-89. He began his career as a tight ends/offensive line coach in 1994 with the Seminoles and took over the interior defensive line duties in 1996, where he has remained a fixture and helped the

Seminoles to a pair of national titles in 1999 and 2013.

Haggins has repeatedly developed future NFL pros while at Florida State. He has coached 17 defensive linemen that have been selected in the NFL Draft, including recent second-round picks Eddie Goldman (Chicago Bears, 2015) and Timmy Jernigan (Baltimore Ravens, 2014) and first-rounders Brodrick Bunkley (2006), Travis Johnson (2005), Corey Simon (2000) and Andre Wadsworth (1998). In 2015, Nile Lawrence-Stample captured All-ACC first team honors and signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns following the season.

The 2017 version of FSU’s defensive line was a dominant force in the middle as senior Derrick Nnadi and redshirt junior Demarcus Christmas teamed up to wreak havoc in opponents’ backfields. Nnadi was a third-team All-ACC selection after setting career-high marks with 51 tackles and 9.0 tackles for loss. He also added 3.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. Christmas also posted career highs of 35 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss.

Led by Nnadi and Christmas, the defensive line enjoyed yet another successful season under Haggins in 2016. The Seminoles ranked first in the nation in sacks per game, while ranking fifth in the ACC in rushing defense. Under the guidance of Haggins, Nnadi was a first-team All-ACC selection, while Christmas, sophomore Walvenski Aimè and sophomore Fred Jones were all productive from the interior tackle spots.

Haggins’ defensive line anchored one of the nation’s best defenses in 2015. The Seminoles ranked ninth in the country in scoring defense, 19th in total defense and 21st in passing defense. Most impressively, FSU allowed only 10 rushing touchdowns, fifth-fewest in the country, and improved from 17 sacks in 2014 to 32 in 2015. Nnadi joined Lawrence-Stample on the all-confer-ence squad, snagging third team accolades, while Christmas emerged as a potential star.

In 2014, Haggins oversaw a young interior defensive front line anchored by Goldman. Despite the youth on the defensive front, the Seminole defense still ranked in the top 30 in the country in six different categories. Goldman tallied a team-high 4.0 sacks, 8.0 tackles for loss and 35 total stops. He captured third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a first-team All-ACC selection. The Seminoles advanced to the first-ever College Football Playoff, set a Florida State record with a 29-game winning streak and captured the program’s third straight ACC championship. After Lawrence-Stample was injured in the season’s third game, Haggins got great production from redshirt junior Derrick Mitchell Jr., senior Desmond Hollin and Nnadi.

A staunch interior defense played a prominent role in helping Florida State to its third national championship in the 2013 season. Jernigan, the Noles’ star nose guard, enjoyed another fine season as he earned All-America nods from several organizations including the Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press and USA TODAY. The high-powered run-stuffer in the trenches led a defensive front that surrendered just seven rushing touchdowns, the fewest in the nation. Florida State’s defensive tackles paved the way for the nation’s top scoring defense and the third-best total defense. The work of the front four was noticeable on several fronts, including allowing just 124.8 yards per game to opposing rushers. Opponents aver-aged just 3.3 yards per rush against the stout defensive front of the Seminoles, and FSU continued its strong pass rush, racking up 35 sacks.

Following the 2013 season, Jernigan was the 48th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Ravens, while two other veteran standout defensive tackles, Jacobbi McDaniel and Demonte McAllister, signed professional contracts as free agents.

The 2012 season saw three Seminole defensive tackles earn All-ACC honors with senior Everett Dawkins and sophomore Jernigan capturing second-team recognition while senior Anthony McCloud picked up honorable-mention accolades. In part due to suffocating pressure up front, the Seminoles ranked second in the nation in total defense in 2012, yielding just 254.14 yards per contest. FSU allowed opposing running backs just 2.75 yards per carry, which tied for fourth in the country.

Haggins has been able to build depth with his interior defensive line group that at one point in 2011 was four-deep at each position. That season, his regular rotation of McCloud, Dawkins, Cameron Erving and freshman All-American Jernigan produced 100 tackles, including 16.5 behind the line of scrimmage. FSU’s run defense allowed opposing backs to average just 2.35 yards per carry, which led all 120 FBS programs. The Seminoles ranked fourth nationally in total defense.

Haggins helped produce one of the best defensive lines in the nation in 2010 as the Seminoles ranked third in the nation in quarterback sacks per game, 21st in tackles for loss and 42nd in total defense. The Seminoles tied with Boise State for first nationally in total sacks with 48.

Named one of the six best defensive line coaches in college football by CBS Sports in 2008, Haggins has repeatedly turned out top-flight talent with Bunkley, Johnson, Simon and Wad-sworth all being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The No. 3 overall pick in the 1998 draft, Wadsworth remained the highest drafted player in FSU history until Jameis Winston was selected No. 1 overall in 2015.

In addition to the first-rounders, Haggins’ pupils have also included Pro Bowler Darnell Dockett, Larry Smith, Andre Fluellen, Jerry Johnson, Julian Pittman and Letroy Guion. Most recently, Goldman was selected with the 39th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.

Haggins’ 1999 defensive front included future NFL standouts Simon and Johnson, who were instrumental in FSU’s 12-0 run to the national championship.

The Seminoles boasted the nation’s top-ranked defense in 1998 and the No. 1 rushing defense in 1996 and 1997. The 2008 defense ranked first nationally in tackles for loss.

Haggins has won at every level as a player and a coach. He was on the front end of Florida State’s dynasty years, starring at nose guard for the Seminoles. FSU posted a 39-8-1 record with Haggins in the lineup from 1986-89 and he was part of four bowl-winning teams. He earned Kodak, Walter Camp and UPI All-America honors as a senior in 1989.

A ninth-round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Haggins went on to play for the Buffalo Bills during their 1991 Super Bowl season. Following a three-year NFL career, he returned to Florida State, completed his degree and joined Bobby Bowden’s staff following the Seminoles’ 1993 national championship season.

As an assistant coach, Haggins has established himself as an outstanding recruiter, developer of talent and a role model to his players. He earned ACC Top Recruiter of the Year honors from ESPN in 2012. For the fourth consecutive year, Haggins was named one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2014. In 2016, Haggins captured the same top-25 mention from 247Sports.

Haggins and his wife, Robin, have one daughter, Amelia Grace.

» Junior Auden Tate continued to make significant strides in his development under Dawsey. Battling injuries, Tate fin-ished with 35 catches for 464 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns. Tate would haul in a touchdown in each of the team’s first five games.

» In 2014, Dawsey developed Rashad Greene, who set mul-tiple FSU single season and career records, including receiv-ing yards in the ACC with 3,830.

» From 1987-90, Dawsey was a fan favorite in his four sea-sons as a Seminole wide receiver. During his time in the gar-net and gold, Dawsey was a member of the first four 10-win, top-five poll finishes in school history.

» Randy Sanders is in his fifth season as Florida State's quarterbacks coach. Prior to the 2014 season, he was named co-offensive coordinator alongside wide receivers coach Law-rence Dawsey.

» With redshirt sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois suffering a season-ending injury in week one, Sanders led the development of true freshman signal-caller James Blackman, who finished third in the country in passing yards by a fresh-man, throwing for 1,997 yards while adding 15 touchdowns and completing 57.2 percent of his passes.

» Sanders’ quarterbacks often get better as the game goes on. Blackman threw for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter against rival Miami. He also threw for a career-long 60-yard touchdown in the second half on the road against defending national champion Clemson.

» Blackman became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Seminoles since Chip Ferguson in 1985 after he earned his first career start in the home opener against NC State.

» Coached by Sanders, quarterback Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy in 2013, leading the Noles to an undefeat-ed season and their first national championship since 1999. The Noles scored an FBS-record 723 points, while their 7,267 yards of total offense set a new school and ACC record. Under the guidance of Sanders, Winston became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

» Sanders joined the Seminoles after a short stint at Ken-tucky, where he was the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach since 2009. Serving time at Kentucky and Tennessee as offensive coordinator, Sanders has been to 26 bowl games in his career.

» One of the best and most respected offensive line coaches in all of college football, Rick Trickett is in his 11th season at Florida State and his 45th season overall in 2017. He is known nationally to identify, recruit and successfully develop talent at the offensive line position.

» Leading the way for the two-headed monster duo of junior run-ning back Jacques Patrick and freshman running back Cam Akers, the offensive line paved the way for the two to combine for 1,617 yards and 13 touchdowns. Akers' 930 yards is the second-most by a freshman in school history, earning him third-team All-ACC honors.

» The O-Line also was crucial in the protection of true freshman quarterback James Blackman, who finished third in the country in passing yards by a freshman, totaling 1,997 yards and 15 TDs.

» Under the tutelage of Trickett, the offensive line secured over 400 total yards of offense five times, including a 504-yard perfor-mance in the home finale against ULM.

» Center Alec Eberle provided the anchor of the offensive line, where he was named second-team All-ACC. The redshirt junior was named to the preseason Rimington and Outland watch lists, while starting 31 consecutive games dating back to the 2015 season. Eberle has proved to be an example in the community, earning a spot last year on the AFCA’s Good Works Team and named to the Wuerffel watch list for community service.

» Since 2011, nine offensive linemen have been drafted to the NFL under Trickett, including first-round selection Cam Erving (19th, 2015). Trickett oversaw six Jacobs Blocking Trophy winners at FSU as the league's top blocker (Roderick Johnson 2x, Erving 2x, Rodney Hudson 2x).

» Bill Miller is in his fourth season as the linebackers coach at Florida State, with an experienced background of 38 years of collegiate coaching experience. Throughout the duration of his career, Miller has worked alongside some of the greatest minds in the history of college football, including Nick Saban (Michigan State), Jimmy Johnson (Oklahoma State) and Butch Davis (Miami).

» Matthew Thomas and Ro’Derrick Hoskins headlined a linebacker corps of a defense that finished in the top-35 in eight different categories, including passing efficiency de-fense and tackles for loss.

» Thomas provided leadership under Miller, as he finished with a team-leading 85 tackles while also contributing 10 TFL, two sacks and a blocked kick. The Bednarik Award watch list recipient posted career highs in tackles, TFL, sacks and interceptions.

» Hoskins posted 42 tackles, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble, including a career-high nine tackles against No. 1 Alabama and NC State.

» Miller led the development of Adonis Thomas and Donta-vious Jackson, who each earned time to further build depth. Adonis Thomas started two games as a junior college trans-fer, while Jackson continued his growth in his second year.

» The Hutchinson, Kansas, native has coached seven play-ers that eventually become first-round draft picks.

» Brad Lawing is in his third season as the defensive ends and outside linebackers coach at Florida State, spending the previous nine seasons in the SEC under Steve Spurrier at South Carolina and Will Muschamp at Florida.

» In 2017, defensive ends Josh Sweat, Brian Burns and Joshua Kaindoh dominated opposing lines, combining for 14 sacks, 31 TFL and four forced fumbles.

» Sweat led all Seminole pass rushers in sacks (5.5) after being named to the preseason Nagurski Award watch list. He played at his best against the top competition, tallying sacks against Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts and 2016 Heisman Trophy-winning Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson.

» Kaindoh, a true freshman, took tremendous strides in his development under Lawing. Kaindoh finished third on the team in sacks (4.0), all coming in an ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week-performance against Delaware State. The freshman defensive end produced at least one tackle in the team’s final 10 games.

» Under Lawing, the Noles have combined for 112 sacks in the last three years, seventh-most in that span.

» Prior to arriving in Tallahassee, Lawing oversaw the de-velopment of some of the top pass rushers in the last decade, including Jadeveon Clowney at South Carolina into the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft. He also has developed first-round tal-ent Dante Fowler (2015, No. 3), Dominique Easley (2014, No. 29) and Melvin Ingram (2013, No. 18).

ALL-TIME AGAINST SOUTHERN MISS

RARE 300-YARD RUSHING PERFORMANCE » Buoyed by the 100-yard rushing games of Jacques Patrick (155) and Cam Akers (117), Florida State’s

offense cranked out the first 300-yard rushing game of the season in their bowl-clinching victory over ULM. The Noles rushed for 305 yards on 45 carries and powered into the end zone five times.

» It was FSU’s first 300-yard rushing game since Nov. 19, 2016 at Syracuse (45-334, 4 TDs) and just the eighth 300-yard game in the last 10 seasons.

» FSU’s five rushing touchdowns equaled its season high on the ground (Delaware State). Ten of the Noles’ 17 rushing TDs this season have come in those two games.

» It marked the 10th time in 10 seasons the Noles have rushed for 5 or more TDs in a game. » The last time the Noles rushed for more than 5 TDs in a game came against USF on Sept. 24, 2016,

when they ran up 478 yards on the ground with 6 rushing TDs. That was also the last time FSU had two backs eclipse 100 yards in the same game.

PATRICK REGAINING FORM » Junior tailback Jacques Patrick turned in the second-highest rushing performance of his career

when he powered his way to 155 yards on 19 carries, including a pair of TD runs, against ULM. Pat-rick led the Noles in rushing for the second consecutive game, continuing his bounce-back from a mid-season injury which kept him out of the lineup for two games.

» Over his last four games, Patrick has 253 rushing yards and five TDs. » Patrick’s performance against ULM came on a day when the Noles piled up a season-high 305

yards on the ground. Both he and true freshman Cam Akers (117) ran for more than 100 yards, the first time FSU produced a pair of 100-yard games since Patrick (124) and Dalvin Cook (267) did it against USF in 2016.

» With two rushing TDs, Patrick is tied for 20th place on FSU’s career rushing TD list with 15. » Patrick ranks second on the team with 687 rushing yards, 118 carries and six touchdowns. » His 1,351 career rushing yards leaves him just 254 shy of cracking FSU’s all-time top 20.

BLACKMAN TOP TRUE FRESHMAN PASSER IN FSU HISTORY » True freshman QB James Blackman has six TD passes over the past three games after teaming

with classmate D.J. Matthews on a 14-yard scoring connection in the first quarter against ULM. Blackman has recorded the most passing yards (1,997) and TD passes (15) by an FSU true fresh-man in program history.

» Blackman has the edge over Chip Ferguson, FSU's last true freshman starting quarterback in 1985, in completion percentage (.572-.538), having connected on 155-of-271 attempts. Ferguson completed 70-of-130 attempts in his first season at FSU.

» Blackman had his first three-TD passing performance against Delaware State and now has eight TD passes and four interceptions over the past five games, with at least one TD toss in each of those contests.

LINE CONTINUITY & OFFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT » Continuity along the offensive line is both critical and rare, and the 2017 Seminoles appear to be

reaping the benefits. Line coach Rick Trickett has been able to send the same unit - Josh Ball (LT), Derrick Kelly II (LG), Alec Eberle (C), Cole Mishew (RG) and Rick Leonard (RT) – out as starters for eight consecutive games.

» That’s the longest streak of consecutive starts by the same five players since the 2013 National Championship season when Cameron Erving (LT), Josue Matias (LG), Bryan Stork (C), Tre' Jackson (RG) and Bobby Hart (RT) started the final 12 games.

» Over the final eight games, FSU has improved its record (5-3 to 1-3), PPG (30.8-18.5), YPG (351.8-327) and third down conversions (.358-.298), while allowing two sacks fewer per game.

TATE WORKING ON A NEW STREAK » Junior receiver Auden Tate extended his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 11,

collecting a pair of James Blackman passes for 23 yards against ULM. Tate leads the Noles with 7 TD receptions and has 13 over the course of his career, three shy of moving into a tie for 19th on FSU’s all-time list.

» He is one TD reception this year from a tie for 19th on the single-season TD receptions list. » Tate ranks second on the team with 35 receptions and 464 yards.

GAME NOTES: OFFENSEAKERS CLOSING ON COOK'S FROSH RECORD » Tailback Cam Akers needs 79 rushing yards against Southern Miss in the bowl game to pass Dalvin

Cook for the Seminoles’ freshman single-season rushing record. The Clinton, Miss., native rushed for 117 yards on 19 carries against ULM – his fourth 100-yard game of the season - to move past Greg Allen and into the No. 2 spot on the freshman rushing list. Akers’ four 100-yard rushing perfor-mances are the second-most all-time among FSU freshmen.

» Akers had touchdowns of 54 and 63 yards vs. Syracuse, just the second time at FSU that a player ran for two 50-yard touchdowns in a game (Chris Thompson vs. Wake Forest, 2012, 74 and 80).

» From the moment Akers signed with Florida State, it was suggested that he may be the heir-appar-ent to all-time rushing leader Dalvin Cook. Through 12 games there is mounting evidence that the two share similar big-play ability, especially when comparing their freshman season performances.

» Cam Akers flirted with becoming just the second FSU true freshman to rush for 200 yards when he came up a yard shy of the milestone against Syracuse. Greg Allen did it twice in 1981, highlighted by his still-standing single-game school record. Akers’ performance ranks fifth all-time among Seminole freshmen.

just the fifth at his position with more than 700 career receiving yards (702). » His 60-yard TD reception at Clemson was the longest by an FSU tight end since Lonnie Johnson’s

78-yard TD grab against the Tigers in 1993. » The Highland Lakes, N.J., native ranks sixth on the team in receptions (14), is fourth in receiving

MURRAY MAINTAINING LATE-SEASON SURGE » Junior receiver Nyqwan Murray extended his streak of consecutive games with a reception to

a team-leading 18 when he hauled in a pair of passes for 17 yards against ULM. Murray is in the midst of the most productive stretch of his career.

» Over the past eight games, Murray has 27 receptions for 503 yards – an average of 18.6 yards per catch – and 4 TDs.

» Through the first four games of the season Murray had 13 receptions and 99 yards (7.6 ypc.). » Murray leads the team in receptions (40) and receiving yardage (604) and is second with four TD

receptions.

RICKY AGUAYO HOLDS TWO SCHOOL RECORDS » Ricky Aguayo holds two school records: The record for most field goals made in a game (6 vs. Ole

Miss on Sept. 5, 2016) and the most PATs made in a game (11 vs. Delaware State on Nov. 18, 2017). He owns the FGs by himself and is tied for the PAT record with Roberto Aguayo and Scott Bentley.

» He is 2-of-2 on field goal attempts of 49 yards or longer and 1-of-1 on field goal attempts of 50 yards or longer this season with his career-long field goal of 51 yards coming in Florida State’s victory at Wake Forest on Sept. 30.

» His .988 percentage (90-of-91) on PATs is the third best in school history behind Roberto Aguayo (198-198, 2013-15) and Bill Capece (40-40, 1977-80).

SEMINOLES OWN LONGEST PAT STREAK IN HISTORY » Ricky Aguayo has made 90-of-91 career PATs (.989). Before having his final PAT attempt of 2016

blocked in the 2016 Orange Bowl by No. 6 Michigan, Aguayo made the first 51 PATs of his career. » He is tied for 11th in school history for career PATs (90) after less than two seasons at FSU. » The Aguayo brothers (Ricky and Roberto) have combined to make 289-of-290 (.997) career PATs. » Florida State owns the NCAA record for consecutive extra points made with 302. FSU broke the pre-

vious record of 263 (Syracuse, 1978-89) against USF on Sept. 24, 2016. The longest active streak is Auburn at 222.

NOLES AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS IN BLOCKED KICKS » Florida State is tied for first nationally and tied for first in the ACC (Duke) with six blocked kicks on

the season - two Brian Burns blocked punts, three blocked field goals and a blocked PAT. » Florida State’s six blocked kicks in 2017 are the most by the Seminoles since also blocking six

kicks during the 2006 season. » Brian Burns' two blocked kicks this season (NC State, Miami) are tied for the most in the ACC and

THE RETURN GAME » D.J. Matthews returned five punts for 138 yards against Delaware State. His 138 return yards ranks

as the third-highest single-game punt return total in school history. Only Willie Reid (180 vs. Penn State on Jan. 3, 2006) and Leon Washington (159 vs. Wake Forest on Oct. 25, 2003) have had more punt return yards in a single game than Matthews against Delaware State.

» Matthews' 138 punt return yards are the most for any player in the country this season. » Matthews’ 200 yards on 17 returns are the most punt return yards in a season by a Seminole since

2013 (Kenny Shaw, 251 yards). » Keith Gavin’s career-long 81-yard kickoff return against Wake Forest set up the Seminoles’ first

touchdown against the Deacons. He now has seven career kickoff returns for 227 yards (32.4 ypr). » Gavin’s 81-yard return at Wake is FSU’s longest since Kermit Whitfield’s 100-yard touchdown in the

2013 BCS National Championship Game.

TYLER PUNTING WELL » Logan Tyler boomed his career-long punt of 61 yards, as well as a 51- and 52-yarder, at Duke. He

had three punts of 54+ yards (54, 55, 55) against Syracuse. He totaled a career-high four punts of 50 yards or more including the second-longest punt of his career (60 yards) at Florida.

OSCEOLA & RENEGADEOne of the best traditions in college football unfolds right before kickoff as Osceola charges down the field atop Renegade - an Appaloosa horse - and plants a flaming spear at midfield. There have been six different Renegades and 16 different riders since 1978, and Brendan Carter is the current rider. In 2011, ESPN’s SportsNation voted Osceola & Renegade the best NCAA Football Tradition in the country.

GAME RECAPS

» FSU won for the fifth straight time against Florida and the fourth consecutive time in Gainesville. Both of those are FSU highs against the Gators. FSU improved to 7-1 against the Gators since 2010.

» This game was the first time since 1988 that FSU scored two non-offensive touchdowns in a game against Florida and the first time ever that FSU has scored two defensive touchdowns against the Gators (62 games).

» Jacob Pugh’s fumble recovery for a touchdown was his third career fumble recovery. The score was the first of his career.

» Brian Burns’ sack on Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks was his fourth of the season and 13th of his career. Burns forced the fumble that led to Pugh’s touchdown. Burns has three of FSU’s seven forced fumbles this season. Burns added 2.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups.

» Cornerback Levonta Taylor’s interception on the final play of the first quarter was his first career takeaway. His second was in the second quarter, an 18-yard interception return for a touchdown. He is the first Seminole since Pugh against Notre Dame in 2014 with two in-terceptions in a game.

» Stanford Samuels III recorded his first career sack, a seven-yard loss in the second quar-ter.

» FSU converted all four Florida turnovers into touchdowns. FSU entered the game with just 24 points off turnovers on the season. The four takeaways are the most for the FSU defense since forcing four in the 2016 season opener against Ole Miss.
