2009 Football Outlook Jermaine Thomas

QUARTERBACKS • Christian Ponder returns for his second season as starter after one of the best seasons in school history for a QB when it came to the ground game. The redshirt junior rushed for 423 yards in 2008, finishing with the fourthhighest single-season rushing total by a QB in school history. • Since 1950, only Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward rushed for more yards in one season than Ponder did in 2008. • Ponder is just the fourth FSU QB to ever score a rushing touchdown in four consecutive games. • Ponder completed passes to seven or more receivers in seven of 13 games in 2008. He hit eight or more receivers with a pass four times. • Redshirt freshman EJ Manuel will back up Ponder but has not thrown a pass in a collegiate game up to this point.

RUNNING BACKS • Jermaine Thomas had a breakout season as a true freshman in 2008 averaging 7.0 yards per carry on 69 attempts. He must replace Antone Smith, who as a senior last year, had 792 yards on 177 carries and 15 rushing touchdowns. • Last year, Thomas finished behind only Sean Jackson and Warrick Dunn in Seminole history for yards per carry by a true freshman. He also had the sixth-best true freshman season in school history for rushing yards (482). • One of Thomas’ greatest strengths in 2008 was his ability to make positive yards on almost every touch. The freshman lost only 10 yards rushing all year. • Sophomore Ty Jones will compete for playing time after showing what he was capable of in the Champs Sports Bowl when he rushed four times for 55 yards and a score. His average of almost 14 yards per carry was more than six times better than any other FSU running back in that game. • Junior college transfer Tavares Pressley will make his FSU debut this year after sustaining a torn ACL prior to the 2008 season.

Bert Reed

TIGHT ENDS WIDE RECEIVERS • Bert Reed enters his redshirt sophomore season as the team’s secondleading receiver from a season ago with 23 receptions on his resume. • FSU’s top returning wide receiver, Taiwan Easterling, is expected to make his return to action after missing the spring practice period with a ruptured Achilles’ tendon. • The Seminoles must replace the top two pass-catchers from a season ago as Greg Carr and Preston Parker are no longer on the team.

• Offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher expects this group’s offensive production to increase considerably in 2009. Last season, Caz Piurowski was asked to play as an extra lineman more than a receiver to help a young offensive line. On top of that, the Seminoles’ other two tight ends were both true freshmen. • Despite his work as a blocker, Piurowski still established single-season career highs for catches (eight), yards (83) and touchdowns (one) in 2008. • For the second time in the last three years, Piurowski averaged over 10 yards per reception in 2008.

• Carr and Parker were responsible for 79 of the 174 receptions by wide receivers last season.

• Beau Reliford and Ja’Baris Little combined for just one catch in their true freshman seasons last year and will be expected to contribute more this year.

• FSU will get a boost with the return of redshirt senior Richard Goodman who caught 20 passes as a junior in 2007.

OFFENSIVE LINE

• True sophomore Jarmon Fortson will likely figure more into the offensive gameplan after nabbing eight catches and one touchdown as a freshman in 2008.

Taiwan Easterling

• The youngest offensive line in the FBS in 2008 could be one of the best in the country in 2009. • Three of the five projected starters on the line have been named a freshman All-American (Andrew Datko, Rodney Hudson and Ryan McMahon). • Despite starting three true freshmen last season, the Seminoles had their best year running the football since 2000 as far as NCAA rankings go. • Hudson enters the season as one of only two ACC players on the watch list for the 2009 Lombardi Award while McMahon has been named to the 2009 Rimington Award watch list.

DEFENSIVE ENDS • Both starting defensive ends will not be back in 2009 as Everette Brown was the first draft choice of the Carolina Panthers and Neefy Moffett graduated. The duo combined for over 30 TFL and nearly 20 sacks. • Brown and Moffett were first and second on the team in sacks and first and third in tackles for loss last year. • Senior Kevin McNeil recorded four sacks last season and will enter the season as the favorite to replace Moffett. • Junior Markus White will have the task of trying to fill in on the right side for Brown. The former National JUCO Player of the Year had a good first year adjusting to the FBS as he recorded 5.5 TFL, a sack, two PBU, three QB hurries and a forced fumble. • True freshman Brandon Jenkins will contribute immediately after enrolling at FSU in January and performing very well in spring practices.

Markus White

Kendrick Stewart

Budd Thacker

DEFENSIVE TACKLES • While both outside linemen are gone, FSU returns both of its starters on the interior. Seniors Kendrick Stewart and Budd Thacker are back in 2009 as well as senior Justin Mincey – making the defensive tackle position one of the most experienced on the roster. • Stewart had the best season of his career in 2008 with 22 tackles, 4.5 TFL and two sacks. • Mincey, who started four games last year, doubled his career sacks and bested his career total for TFL as a junior. • Sophomore Moses McCray is expected to push for even more playing time this year after starting two games and playing in eight in his first season last year. McCray registered eight tackles and one sack as a freshman. • Sophomore Everett Dawkins and highly-touted freshmen Jacobbi McDaniel and Demonte McAllister are also expected to figure into the defensive tackle rotation.

LINEBACKERS • Weakside linebacker Dekoda Watson enters his senior season as FSU’s top returning tackler from a year ago. Following a junior season in which he accrued 46 tackles, eight TFL, one INT, three PBU, two QB hurries and one blocked punt, Watson missed the entire spring while recovering from Tommy John surgery on his elbow. • With the graduation of both Derek Nicholson and Toddrick Verdell, the Seminoles lose their top two tacklers. The pair combined for nearly 150 tackles, 23 TFL and five sacks in 2008. • Junior Kendall Smith likely replaces Nicholson on the inside. Smith’s 24 tackles as a sophomore are the third-most from last season of any returning linebacker on the FSU roster. • True sophomore Nigel Bradham is atop the depth chart at weakside linebacker after a freshman campaign in which he played in all 13 games and posted 29 tackles, one TFL and one forced fumble.

Patrick Robinson

Dekoda Watson

SECONDARY • Two senior starters return in this position group as cornerback Patrick Robinson and free safety Jamie Robinson will be the veteran leaders in the secondary. • Florida State must replace two stalwarts in the secondary. Cornerback Tony Carter and rover Myron Rolle combined for 346 tackles and 10 interceptions over the course of their careers.

Shawn Powell

• Patrick Robinson is looking to add to his seven career interceptions, six of which came in 2007. • Former cornerback and U.S. Army All-American Korey Mangum moved to rover in the spring with the hopes of replacing All-American Myron Rolle. • Former cornerback Terrance Parks worked at both free safety and rover in the spring and could line up at either in his sophomore season this year. • Opposite Patrick Robinson, the competition at the field corner position between redshirt junior Ochuko Jenije and redshirt sophomore Dionte Allen should be one of the top position battles on the roster this season.

SPECIALISTS • No group suffered a bigger loss this off-season than the specialists as Lou Groza Award winner Graham Gano graduated. • Gano not only won the top award for a kicker but he also is believed to be the first punter ever to be named the MVP of a bowl game when he took home those honors in the Champs Sports Bowl last December. • The Seminoles will return their deep snapper (Zack Aronson) and holder (Shawn Powell) this season. • James Esco handled all kicking duties this spring but both must compete this season with the nation’s No. 1 kicking prospect, true freshman Dustin Hopkins. Entering the season, no kicker on the FSU roster has ever attempted a college field goal. • Powell, who started the first seven games of the season as the team’s punter, will take over full-time duties for Gano. The sophomore had almost identical numbers to Gano through the regular season last year.

Bobby Bowden Head Coach Howard ‘53 34th Season at FSU

W

hat Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden means to Florida State University simply cannot be measured. Respect, sincerity, class, honesty, charisma, charm and humor are just some of the words that describe and define this man better than wins, losses or coaching records. He is a man of faith, strength and integrity, who, despite his legendary status in college football, doesn’t get consumed by his accomplishments and honors. “You’ll have to excuse me if I’m a little emotional,” ESPN’s Lee Corso said after the video tribute to Coach Bowden at the 2008 Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards. “This man and I have been friends for 51 years when he was at South Georgia College and I was the Florida State freshman coach. I will never forget all the friendship and all of the things you’ve done for me all of my life. You’ve been a role model for a lot of us coaches, Bobby.” The 2008 NCFAA Contributions to College Football Award was presented to Bowden at Disney’s BoardWalk at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla. The NCFAA is an association of all the major awards in college football and the “Contributions” award is presented to recognize the exceptional contributions to college football and a lifetime of achievement and integrity.

“I really feel like the greatest thing Bobby can do is to influence some young man’s life or a young woman’s for the good so that they can be a better person,” Ann Bowden said at the awards show when asked what she hopes her husband’s legacy will be. Although 2008 was one of several milestones for Bowden, he will look back on his 33rd season at Florida State as a possible turning point for a program looking for its third national title. The 2008 season concluded with a resounding 42-13 victory over Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl, the largest margin of victory for the Seminoles in a bowl game in school history, and the program’s first nine-win season since 2004. Bowden became just the third coach in college football history to coach 500 games when his squad defeated Colorado in Jacksonville last season. Just over a month later he celebrated his 79th birthday with a win over Clemson in his 400th game coached at Florida State, making Bowden just the sixth coach ever to reach 400 games coached at one school. The Champs Sports Bowl was the 27th straight bowl appearance for Florida State’s legendary head coach. No other school in America has a bowl streak longer than Florida State’s thanks to the

Hall of Fame coach. With a 9-4 record in 2008, Bowden ensured himself of his 32nd straight winning season as he upped his career record to 382-123-4. He is responsible for the second-most wins in Division I history and has won at least seven games for 27 consecutive seasons. Setting records and ranking with the greatest coaches in the history of college football is nothing new for Bowden. In 2007, he became one of only two coaches in major college football history to win 300 games at one school and he is the first coach in college football history to lead his team to 27 straight bowl games. The Alabama native will enter his 34th season in 2009 just one win behind Penn State’s Joe Paterno in the chase to become the winningest coach in college football history.

Florida State in 1976. Bowden, one of the icons of college football, is first among active coaches for winning percentage in bowl games, second for all-time bowl wins and second for bowl appearances. He is the only coach to ever lead his team to 15 consecutive New Year’s Day bowl games (1991-2005) and his Seminoles are tied for second for the most appearances in BCS bowl games with six. Bowden is the only coach in NCAA history to win 11 consecutive bowl games (198595) and the only coach ever with 14 consecutive bowl appearances (1982-95) without a loss (FSU tied Georgia 17-17 in the 1984 Citrus Bowl). Bowden’s list of coaching accomplishments is remarkable and is headlined by his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame on December 5, 2006. In a rare, yet remarkable gesture, he and Paterno were inducted while still actively coaching. The previous rule was that a person must be retired before they can be elected in, but the rule was changed. Instead of requiring a person be retired, the National Football Foundation decided to make any active coach over 75 eligible for induction. Both Bowden and Paterno also received an

About Bobby Bowden... Born : November 8, 1929 in Birmingham, Ala. High School : Woodlawn High, Birmingham, Ala.

even greater honor when they were presented with the organization’s very highest distinction, the Gold Medal, joining the likes of Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and H. Norman Schwarzkopf. “I have been coaching for 54 years and married to Ann for 56 years,” Bowden said at the ceremony. “Football offers you the greatest opportunity for a coach to succeed in any sport. I’m looking out on this audience and seeing many people who haven’t lived their lives. They have so much ahead of them, and, just as with all six of my football jobs in four different states, I know that you have to have faith, belief — I’m not talking about fate. I have been very fortunate in my profession, and this is just a wonderful award. I am truly honored.” Among Bowden’s many accomplishments, one of the most amazing has to be the remarkable 14 straight top five finishes in the AP poll from 1987-2000. During that run Florida State was 152-181 and captured national championships in 1993 and 1999. In 1999 the team became the first squad to ever go wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the AP poll. A feat only one team has ever accomplished since (USC 2004). The Seminoles also played for the title three other times during that span. Bowden has won 12 ACC Championships since FSU joined the conference in 1992 to go along with his two national championships. No other school in any BCS conference has won as many conference titles since 1992 as Bowden’s Seminoles. Included among those 12 conference titles is the inaugural ACC Championship Game victory in 2005. Over the past 17 years since Florida State joined the Atlantic Coast Conference, FSU is 114-23 vs. league opponents. The Seminoles won 100 games faster than any team in conference history and also set the league record for consecutive victories. Bowden picked up ACC Coach of the Year titles in 1993 and 1997. So overwhelming has Bowden’s influence been on college football and, in particular, at Florida State, that the field at Doak Campbell Stadium was named after him in 2004 and a national award given by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes now bears his name. Under Bowden’s guidance, FSU has not only produced great teams but great players as well. Two Seminoles, Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke, have won the Heisman Trophy, 26 of his players have been named consensus All-Americans, three of his QB’s have won the Johnny Unitas Award and two have won the Thorpe, Butkus, Davey O’Brien, Lou Groza and Lombardi awards.

Bowden’s interest in the sport of football began while watching his neighborhood high school team practice just on the other side of his backyard fence in Birmingham, Alabama. His love and talent for the game began while playing with friends on the same fields everyday and later practicing with high school teammates. His knowledge of the game grew as a quarterback at Samford and from watching and listening to the legendary Bear Bryant. His skill and creativity were honed on the coaching staffs at South Georgia Junior College, FSU and West Virginia. But it has been his combination of leadership, vision, talent and magnetic personality that have flourished at Florida State, raising the program from perhaps its lowest point to the national program it is today. Bowden’s remarkable FSU career began when he took over a Seminole program in 1976 that had won just four games over the previous three seasons. It has been well chronicled how the Birmingham native left snowy West Virginia to come to Florida State and save the program. Four seasons after he first walked across the campus, he had taken FSU to within one game of a national championship posting an 11-1 record in 1979. He has remained at FSU despite offers from NFL teams and several other prestigious college football programs. Bowden’s loyalty has meant the world to Florida State University and its athletics Since Bowden took over the program his players do not just program. Part of that was recognized by the school in 2004 with the succeed in college, they also dedication of a statue of him that sits produce in the National Football in front of the Moore Athletic. League. On Opening Day 2008, Bowden’s record at Florida State is 37 of Bowden’s former play309-91-4. The totals include a 163-30ers were on NFL rosters, the 2 record in Tallahassee, 36-9-1 record second-most of any school in at neutral sites and 110-51-1 on an the country. Five of his players opponent’s field. He has built those were selected to the 2009 Pro numbers against some of the nation’s Bowl in Hawaii, marking the toughest schedules, earning respect third-straight season at least – said Detroit Lion Andre Fluellen when for his team, attracting top players to three former FSU players have asked about his college head coach. his program and establishing his repureceived the honor. Florida State tation as a competitor in the process. has had at least one player taken in the NFL Draft Bowden achieved impressive every year since 1984 and 28 of Bowden’s former players have numbers in his previous coaching stops, including a 31-6 record at been selected in the first round of the NFL draft in the last 21 years. Since 1993, 101 FSU players have been drafted by NFL teams and over 150 former FSU players have been drafted by the NFL since Bowden came to Tallahassee. Success on the field is not enough for Bobby Bowden as he expects his players to contribute more than just athletically. Two of Bowden’s greatest players, Warrick Dunn and Derrick Brooks, went on to not only become phenomenal pros but both were honored as the NFL’s Man of the Year. Florida State is one of just five schools to produce multiple players to win the NFL’s top award for community service. On November 22, 2008 when the Seminoles defeated Maryland 37-3, Bowden earned two victories when earlier that day, safety Myron Rolle was named one of 32 U.S. Rhodes Scholars for 2009 the first time in nearly 25 years it has awarded the scholarship to a prominent college football player. Rolle received word of the honor in Birmingham, Ala., then traveled to College Park, Md., but missed the first half of the game. He had Bowden’s blessing from the start. “That is putting your priorities in the right place,” Bowden said. “It’s your education first and everything that comes with it. But it is definitely number one. Everything else comes after that in regard to football. That’s probably a once in a lifetime thing.” Over the years, nine of Bowden’s players have been awarded post graduate scholarships and since his arrival in Tallahassee a Seminole football player has been named a first team Academic All-American 10 times.

“I’m being coached by a legend every day. He’s on top of his game 100 percent. He can relate to his players,”

“I’ve always been a people person. I enjoy getting to know people, so the recruiting is still a lot of fun for me. I like going into a player’s home and meeting his parents and family. I don’t have any desire to slow down on all the elements outside of the actual game that some people find hard. I understand why it grinds away at some people, but it just doesn’t on me. I guess I’ve always been able to put football in its place.” -Bobby Bowden

his alma mater Samford University between 1959 and 1962, and a 42-26 mark at West Virginia from 1970-75 making his overall career record 382-123-4. But what he has done at FSU is simply phenomenal. Florida State had been to just eight bowls in the 29 years before him. The 2008 Champs Bowl marked the Seminoles’ 30th since his arrival. He is, by far, the winningest coach ever at Florida State as his win total is greater than the previous seven Seminole head coaches combined. Part of the reason for Bowden’s success in his long run at FSU is that the elements of the job that seem to turn into chores over the years for most coaches: recruiting, speaking engagements, public functions and press responsibilities come easily for Bowden. “I feel great physically,” said Bowden who turns 80 in November. “I’ve always been a people person. I enjoy getting to know people, so the recruiting is still a lot of fun for me. I like going into a player’s home and meeting his parents and family. I don’t have any desire to slow down on all the elements outside of the actual game that some people find hard. I understand why it grinds away at some people, but it just doesn’t on me. I guess I’ve always been able to put football in its place.” Just imagine a college basketball program advancing to the Final Four for 14 years in a row that is what Bobby Bowden has done with the Seminole football team. FSU set an NCAA record with 14 straight top five finishes and the 2001 Orange Bowl was the Seminole’s third straight national title game. Bobby Bowden is proud of his two national championships, his place among the all-time greats and a football program that is the model for the entire country. But he has always pointed to the fact that there are more important things in life. Rising above Bowden’s coaching accomplishments, are his credentials as a man. He makes time for charity and to give to his church. He has never passed an admiring child without a wink and a smile. He greets total strangers. He listens and he cares.

His personality and charm are bigger than life and he has become somewhat of a folk hero. An engaging speaker, Bowden is constantly in demand and most free evenings will find him on the speaking circuit. His off-season travel schedule would exhaust anyone. Sunday morning will usually find him in the pulpit of a church somewhere in the south. Outside of football, Bowden has an intense interest in World War II history and he is a voracious reader on the subject. He traced his ancestry to parts of Germany and has visited the country several times. Bowden was an outstanding football player at Woodlawn High School in Birmingham and went on to Alabama as a freshman quarterback, fulfilling a lifelong dream to play for the Crimson Tide. He lasted one semester in Tuscaloosa before high school sweetheart Ann Estock lured him back to Birmingham. They soon married and Bobby transferred to Howard College in Birmingham. The two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the same year (1999) that FSU won its second national championship and Bowden coached his only undefeated team, which was the first team ever to go wire-towire as the AP No. 1 in college football history. Bowden served as an assistant football coach and head track coach at Howard College (now Samford) from 1954-55. He left his alma mater to serve as Athletics Director and head coach at South Georgia Junior College from 1956-58. He returned to Samford as head coach from 1959-62. He joined the Florida State coaching staff under head coach Bill Peterson as wide receivers coach from 196365. During that time, he coached Seminole receiver T.K. Wetherell who is now president of FSU. Bowden moved on to West Virginia, serving as offensive coordinator from 1966-69 before taking over as the Mountaineers’ head coach from 1970-1975. He was named FSU’s head coach in January 1976. The Bowdens, parents of four sons and two daughters, will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in 2009.

Slated to become the Seminoles’ ninth head coach upon the retirement of current head coach Bobby Bowden. One of the top offensive minds in college football today who was the offensive coordinator for the 2003 National Champion LSU Tigers. Was named a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach in 2001. During his first two seasons at Florida State, the Seminoles offense has developed across the board. The Seminoles rushed for an average of 179.1 yards and scored an average of 33.4 points per game during the 2008 season. In two years with Fisher as its offensive coordinator, the Seminoles are rushing for more than 80 yards per game more and scoring an average of nearly seven points per game more than prior to his arrival. Florida State was the most balanced team in all of college football with a run to pass ratio of 1.2:1. The Seminoles rushed for an average of 179.1 yards per game and threw for an average of 192.8 yards per game. During his tenure at LSU, the Tigers won three BCS Bowl games including winning the national title at the 2004 Nokia Sugar Bowl and earned two SEC Championships. While he was the offensive coordinator at LSU, the Tigers had a 70-20 record (a winning percentage of nearly 80 percent) and played in seven bowl games. The 70 wins (10 wins per season) are the most in any seven year stretch in the illustrious history of the LSU football program. Recruited and coached three players who were selected in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft including JaMarcus Russell -- the No. 1 overall selection of the Oakland Raiders. During his seven seasons at LSU he coached five quarterbacks who were selected in the NFL Draft – Josh Booty, Rohan Davey, Craig Nall, Matt Mauck and JaMarcus Russell. Fisher is one of the top developers of quarterbacks in all of college football as he coached two All-SEC First Team quarterbacks (Josh Booty in 2006 and JaMarcus Russell in 2006) and two All-SEC Second Team quarterbacks (Rohan Davey in 2001 and Matt Mauck in 2003). During his seven seasons at LSU, the Tiger offenses were ranked in the nation’s top 20 in either passing, scoring or total offense six times. With Fisher and Russell at the controls of the LSU offense in the 2006, the Tigers led the nation in passing efficiency and were ranked ninth in scoring offense. His high powered offenses set 13 school records during his seven-year tenure at LSU. Under Fisher’s tutelage, the Tigers’ offense was either first or second in the SEC in an offensive category nine times. In 2006, the Fisher coached offense at LSU led the SEC in scoring, total offense and pass efficiency and led the league in rushing in 2004.

• • • • • •

He led LSU to school record for points, passing touchdowns and passing yards in a single season in 2003. Fisher coached the only two 3,000-yard passed in LSU History (JaMarcus Russell and Rohan Davey) and the only 3,000-yard passer in the history of Auburn Football (Demeyune Craig).

FSU’s Next Head Coach

COACHES

F O O T B A L L

F

lorida State University announced on December 10, 2007 an agreement in principle for a succession plan that elevates offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher to head football coach when Bobby Bowden retires. “We believe this plan insures that our football program is stable and competitive at the very highest level now and in the future,” interim AD Bill Proctor said. Bowden praised the plan, saying: “I’ve known Jimbo Fisher for a long time. I’ve followed his career at several different levels. I’ve seen him succeed everywhere he has been. Since he’s been with us, I’ve seen the elements in him that it takes to be a head football coach. Apparently, our administration has seen the same thing. “I think Jimbo’s willingness to wait here while being chased for every job available speaks volumes about both him and this program,” Bowden said. “Florida State is a great university and I think we’ve taken steps to keep our program among the very finest in the country.” “I am humbled and honored by this announcement,” Fisher said. “I said when I came here that I wanted to learn under the best coach in the history of college football and I’m doing that. “I’m happy and excited,” he said. “Is there anything more valuable than spending time coaching under Bobby Bowden and with the assistant coaches that we have here at Florida State? Bobby Bowden is still the head coach and I’m lucky enough to still be the offensive coordinator and the whole staff is out there right now making sure we sign players that want to compete for championships.”

2009 Player bios continued the slow process of returning from a knee injury suffered during the 2007 season.

#26 A.J. Alexander

Freshman Season (2008): After redshirting in 2007, Wade appeared in five games…first career catch came on an 18-yard reception versus Western Carolina…finished the season with the best game of his career pulling in two passes for 41 yards in the bowl win over Wisconsin. 2007: A redshirt season.

2008 GAME RECAPS Game 1 — FSU 69 -- Western Carolina University 0 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Christian Ponder threw three touchdowns passes and backup D’Vontrey Richardson ran for two more scores to lead Florida State to a 69-0 win over Western Carolina on Saturday night in a game interrupted more than two hours by lightning.

ning and then for another 55 minutes right after Carter’s touchdown. Florida State is 3-0 against the outgunned Catamounts - a member of the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision formerly known as I-AA - outscoring the Southern Conference school by an aggregate 175-20.

Ponder, making his first college start after throwing only 18 passes for the Seminoles, completed 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards before giving way to Richardson after the first series of the second half.

Ponder - Owens Connection In Florida State’s first scoring drive of the season, starting quarterback Christian Ponder was a perfect 3-for-3 connecting all three times with junior wide out Rod Owens. Owens established a career-high with 50 receiving yards on the drive surpassing his previous career-high of 45 yards against Florida in 2007. Owens caught six passes for 55 yards a season ago. Owens added one more catch later in the second quarter tying his career-high in receptions with four (vs. Florida, 2007). He finished the first half with 4 catches for 61 yards.

Richardson ran for a 52-yard score on his second play and moments later scored on a 7-yard run as Florida State (1-0) took a 48-0 lead early in the third quarter. He also hit Jamon Fortson with a 3-yard TD pass. Florida State coach Bobby Bowden claimed his 374th career win to stay abreast of Penn State’s Joe Paterno as the winningest major college coach. Penn State beat Oregon State earlier Saturday. With more than a dozen players, including several starters, sitting out, 22 true freshmen played for the Seminoles and two scored touchdowns - Fortson and Jermaine Thomas, who ran for two TDs.

2008 SEASON

F O O T B A L L

Touchdown For Antone Tailback Antone Smith recorded the first offensive touchdown for the Seminoles with a 5-yard run in the second quarter. It was Smith’s first touchdown since scoring on a 5-yard run against Alabama on September 29, 2007 in Jacksonville, a span of eight games.

Western Carolina (1-1) trailed by only a touchdown, 7-0, midway through the second quarter before surrendering three quick touchdowns in the final 6:54 of the half. Tony Carter’s 68-yard punt return 1:49 into the game spotted the unranked Seminoles a quick lead, but the game was stopped after the point-after kick for 55 minutes and Ponder and the offense seemed out of sync when the game first resumed. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound Ponder, who beat out incumbent starter Drew Weatherford for the starting job this fall, shook off a sluggish start and completed seven of 10 passes for 123 yards in the second quarter. In the period, he teamed with Bert Reed on a 41-yard scoring pass and then hit Corey Surrency with a 7-yard TD throw to give the Seminoles a 28-0 at the break. On Florida State’s opening drive of the second half, Ponder hit 6-6 Greg Carr with a 54-yard scoring pass as the Seminoles took a 35-0 lead. The start of the game was delayed by 1 hour, 21 minutes because of light-

Game 2 — FSU 46 -- Chattanooga 0 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Christian Ponder threw three first-half touchdown passes and Florida State wrapped up its Saturday with a 46-7 victory over Chattanooga.

And for the second straight week, second-team quarterback D’Vontrey Richardson came up big as well - throwing for 117 yards, including a 36-yard touchdown to Bert Reed.

The Seminoles (2-0) had three touchdowns on the board just 12 minutes into the game and led 30-7 at the half.

Richardson ran for another, his third of the season. His 55-yard run was the longest scoring run by a quarterback in Florida State history - a record he’d set last week with a 52-yard scoring burst.

Coach Bobby Bowden collected career win No. 375, staying abreast of Penn State’s Joe Paterno. Florida State begins the meatier part of its schedule next Saturday when Wake Forest (2-0) visits in search of a third straight win over the Seminoles in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams. A sophomore making his second collegiate start for the Seminoles, Ponder threw to 6-foot-5 Corey Surrency for 44- and 39-yard touchdowns. He also teamed with Antone Smith on an 8-yard scoring pass. Smith added a 12yard TD run. Ponder, who beat out three-year incumbent Drew Weatherford for the starting job, has thrown six TD passes in two games without an interception.

Florida State is 2-0 against the Mocs, also winning in 1984, 37-0. What A Scoring Streak What a start to the 2008 season for the Seminole offense. Between nine consecutive TD drives to end the Western Carolina game in the season opener and three consecutive TD drives to open the Chattanooga game, FSU scored a touchdown on 12 consecutive drives. The streak came to a conclusion when Chattanooga held the Seminoles to a Zach Hobby field goal attempt that bounced off the uprights on FSU’s fourth drive of the game. First Half, For Starters Florida State’s 30 points in the first half marks the most points that the Seminoles have scored in a first half since Sept. 29, 2001 when FSU scored 42 first half points on the way to a 48-24 win over Wake Forest in Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU scored 58 points in the first half of the season’s two games combined. Ponder Off To Hot Start Christian Ponder raised his season total to six TD passes with three in the first half versus Chattanooga. The last time an FSU QB threw for three touchdowns in any half was November 3, 2001 in a 41-27 win at Clemson. Chris Rix had three first half TD passes (one in the first quarter to Javon Walker and two in the second quarter to Talman Gardner and Walker again) in leading the Seminoles to victory.

Christian Ponder

He Did It Again Offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher said D’Vontrey Richardson can beat you from the pocket. The redshirt sophomore QB sure can beat teams from outside the pocket as well. Last week he tied the Florida State record for the longest TD run by a QB with a 52-yard jaunt that equaled a Bobby Renn TD run from 1957. Today he broke that record with a 55-yard touchdown run. It is the second longest run by a QB since Lee Corso’s 60-yard rush in 1956 that unfortunately did not result in six points.

Game 3 — Wake Forest 12 -- FSU 3 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Sam Swank kicked four field goals and No. 18 Wake Forest forced seven Florida State turnovers in running its winning streak over the 24th-ranked Seminoles to three games with a 12-3 victory Saturday night. The Seminoles (2-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) sputtered all night on offense, losing two fumbles and throwing five interceptions. Florida State’s only points also came on a 37 yard field goal by Graham Gano. It was his first game since undergoing knee surgery on his right kicking - leg Aug. 22. Wake Forest’s Riley Skinner completed 17 of 28 passes for 217 yards, but he committed a costly fumble at the Florida State 2 near the end of the first half that quashed a potential score. Wake Forest got the ball back just minutes later when Brandon Ghee forced a fumble by Antone Smith that was recovered by Aaron Curry at Florida State’s 27 yard line. An apparent Wake Forest touchdown pass was nullified by a holding penalty and then Swank missed for 27 yards wide right. It was Swank’s first missed field goal of the season and broke a string of nine straight including his first three this year. Wake Forest drove to the Florida State 10 late in the second quarter. Swank trotted onto the field for another 27-yard attempt on fourth-and-one, but coach Jim Grobe changed his mind and called his star kicker back to the sideline.

Tony Carter

touchdown run in Florida State’ 41-24 victory.

Kenny Ingram knocked Skinner’s pass down in the backfield and Florida State took over. Wake Forest soon got the ball back deep in Seminole territory when Ponder was intercepted by Kevin Patterson. He returned the ball 32 yards to Florida State’s 17. Two plays later, though, Skinner ran the ball 11 yards to the Florida State 2 where he fumbled with 29 seconds left in the half.

Carter Ties A Career-High In Tackles Senior cornerback Tony Carter was credited with seven tackles (six solo and one assisted) in Saturday night’s game against Wake Forest, tying a career-high. It marks the fifth time in his career that Carter has recorded seven tackles in a single game. The last time Carter recorded seven tackles in a game was in the 2007 Music City Bowl against Kentucky. Carter also registered a fumble recovery and a pass break-up in the game.

The Streak Comes To An End Graham Gano’s 37-yard field goal in the third quarter was the first points scored against Wake Forest at home in 103 minutes and 58 seconds, a streak dating back to the fourth quarter in 2005. The last score for the Seminoles at home against the Demon Deacons came on Xavier Lee’s 1-yard

Seminoles Hold Rushing Advantage The Seminoles finished the game out rushing the Demon Deacons 102-59 on Saturday night. It marked the first time since 2004 that Florida State out rushed the Deacs (138-133). Wake Forest held the rushing advantage in 2005 (247-192), 2006 (169-26) and 2007 (180-47).

Game 4 — FSU 39 -- Colorado 21 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Antone Smith ran for 154 yards and three touchdowns Saturday as Florida State defeated previously unbeaten Colorado 39-21 in Bobby Bowden’s 500th game as a college head coach. Bowden, in his 43rd season as a head coach and 33rd at Florida State, notched his 376th career victory to momentarily catch Penn State’s Joe Paterno, whose team was scheduled to play Illinois later Saturday. Florida State (3-1) scored three times in the final 2:29 of the first half to take a 19-7 lead on the way to its first win of the season over a Bowl Subdivision team. The Seminoles opened the season with wins over Western Carolina and Chattanooga before last week’s 12-3 loss to Wake Forest. Smith, who carried 25 times, went 60 yards down his own left sideline with 2:29 left in the half to give the Seminoles a 14-7 lead. After holding Colorado on downs deep in its own territory, Dekoda Watson blocked Matt DiLallo’s punt out of the end zone for a safety and Graham Gano finished off the half with a 36-yard field goal. He added field goals of 52 and 44 yards in the second half.

Seminoles’ River City Rushing Attack Florida State’s Antone Smith finished the first half against Colorado with a season-high 101 yards on the ground. The last Seminole to rush for over 100 yards in the first half was Leon Washington when he ran for 135 yards against West Virginia in Jacksonville in the 2005 Gator Bowl. Washington finished the game with 195 yards on the ground including a long of 69 yards. Smith finished with 154 yards in the game. Garvin Takes One Back Senior Michael Ray Garvin registered a 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, his first career special team’s touchdown. It snapped a string of 75 consecutive games before the last FSU kickoff return for a touchdown when Leon Washington returned a kickoff 97 yards against Clemson in 2002. 200-Yard Rushing Games With 259 yards on the ground in Saturday’s 39-21 victory over Colorado, Florida State tallied its second 200-yard rushing game of the season (290 yards vs. Western Carolina). FSU has gained over 100 yards on the ground in all four games this year.

Florida State relied on its running game for 259 yards while quarterback Christian Ponder completed just 10 of 22 passes for 119 yards and one interception.

Michael Ray Garvin

Colorado’s Cody Hawkins threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Josh Smith, Riar Geer and Patrick Devenny for scores. Colorado (3-1) was unable to put much together offensively until an 80-yard scoring drive that culminated early in the fourth quarter on Hawkins 2-yard touchdown pass to Geer. That cut the lead to 25-14. But Florida State’s Michael Ray Garvin, a world class sprinter who qualified for the 2008 Olympic trials, answered 12 seconds later with a 94-yard kickoff return to give the Seminoles a 32-14 lead. Florida State capitalized on an early Colorado turnover to grab a 7-0 lead three minutes into the game on Smith’s first 2-yard TD run. Smith had all 27 yards on the drive, which followed a Neefy Moffett fumble recovery. Smith’s third touchdown came with 3:37 left in the game.

Game 5 — FSU 41 -- Miami 39 MIAMI (AP) - Antone Smith rushed for a career-best four touchdowns, including a game-clinching 20-yarder with 3:57 remaining, and Florida State wasted most of an early 24-point lead before hanging on to beat Miami 41-39 on Saturday.

Smith’s other scoring runs were for 2, 19 and 5 yards, part of Florida State’s 281-yard rushing day as a team. Ponder completed 14 of 31 passes for 159 yards for Florida State, including a 15-yard score to Greg Carr, and looked at ease in his first taste of the Seminoles-Hurricanes rivalry.

Smith - who scored three TDs last week - finished with 92 yards on 27 carries for the Seminoles (4-1, 1-1 ACC), who handed Miami its second

Miami left tackle Jason Fox rushed for a 5-yard touchdown with 14 seconds remaining, but the onside kick was controlled by the Seminoles, as a downpour made it difficult from one sideline to see the other. Ponder knelt for the final play, and the Seminoles began leaping in celebration - knowing they just dealt their biggest league rival a huge blow. Florida State scored the game’s first 24 points and wound up holding a 440-256 edge in total yards, largely because of Ponder’s running ability. He had nine carries for 107 yards by intermission; in the previous 13 meetings between the teams, Florida State quarterbacks ran for a combined 111 yards on 99 attempts.

2008 SEASON

F O O T B A L L

The first of Carter’s interceptions set up Smith’s opening score, and the Seminoles just kept rolling. When Graham Gano connected on a 53-yard field goal, the Seminoles had a 24-0 lead with 1:07 left in the half. An odd decision followed, giving Miami some life. Florida State tried a short kickoff after the long field goal, giving Miami possession at its own 48. The Hurricanes only got a field goal out of it on the final play of the half, but to coach Randy Shannon, that 28-yard kick by Matt Bosher was huge.

Antone Smith straight home loss on a stormy afternoon. Christian Ponder ran for 144 yards, becoming the first Florida State quarterback since Charlie Ward in 1992 to run for triple-figures, and Tony Carter made two interceptions for the Seminoles. Travis Benjamin had an 18-yard touchdown run on an end-around, caught a 51-yard TD pass from running back Graig Cooper, and finished with 274 all-purpose yards for Miami (2-3, 0-2), which has lost 12 of its last 15 conference games. The Hurricanes trailed 24-3 at the half and 31-10 in the third quarter, then closed to within 34-32 with 8 minutes remaining. Two botched snaps on Florida State punts led to Miami points, Sean Spence ran an interception in for a touchdown and the Hurricanes seemed poised for what would have been an enormous rally. But Smith sealed the win with a third-down run up the middle, giving coach Bobby Bowden just his 14th win in 34 games all-time against Miami.

Smith fumbled early in the third quarter deep in Florida State territory, and Benjamin scored on the next play to give Miami some life. A high snap on a punt gave Miami a safety, Benjamin gave the Hurricanes great field position on the ensuing kickoff, and Cooper hit him with a perfect pass for a trick-play TD that drew the Hurricanes within 31-22. Miami hadn’t had an interception return for a touchdown since 2003, but with 11:23 left, Spence - playing in place of injured linebacker Colin McCarthy - caught a deflected pass and rumbled seven yards to make the score 34-29, and Bosher got Miami within two points with a field goal three minutes later. But the Seminoles went back to what worked - Ponder and Smith running right at Miami, to put the game away. Something To Ponder With a career day, Christian Ponder recorded the second highest rushing total by a Seminole quarterback in FSU history with his 144 yards. Ken MacLean holds the record for a Seminole quarterback with 146 yards vs. Cumberland 60 years ago in 1948. Prior to today’s performance by Ponder, the last FSU quarterback to rush for 100+ yards in a game was Charlie Ward with 111 yards vs. Maryland in 1992.

Game 6 — FSU 26 -- NC State 17 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Christian Ponder threw for the go-ahead touchdown and Antone Smith ran for a score Thursday night to help Florida State beat North Carolina State 26-17. Smith finished with 89 yards rushing for the Seminoles (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed by four points early in the final quarter before scoring 13 straight to end the game. Bert Reed added the 17-yard catch for the lead and Graham Gano kicked four field goals--including a 53-yarder with 1:53 left to seal the win. Russell Wilson threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Wolfpack (2-5, 0-3). The game marked a homecoming for Seminoles assistant Chuck Amato, who led the Wolfpack program for seven years before being fired at the end of the 2006 season and replaced by Tom O’Brien. Amato won 49 games and reached five bowl games, with most of that success coming during the career of four-year starter and NFL first-round draft pick Philip Rivers at quarterback. Last year, the Wolfpack started 1-5 in O’Brien’s first season heading into the off week, but came out of the break with four straight wins that put bowl eligibility within reach before closing with consecutive losses. The Wolfpack came out of this year’s break with another surge--this one behind a onceanemic ground game. N.C. State entered with an ACC-worst 80 yards rushing per game and faced the league’s top run defense (64 yards per game), but rolled to a seasonbest 157 yards on 22 carries. Jamelle Eugene led the team with 74 yards on six carries, while Andre Brown added 50 yards. That opened things downfield and set up Wilson’s long play-action pass over the middle to Owen Spencer, who sprinted away from defender Korey Mangum for a 67-yard score and a 17-13 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. But Ponder directed a 70-yard drive to answer, pushing to N.C. State’s 17 before finding Reed, who got a solid block at the line and then weaved through the Wolfpack defense for a 20-17 lead with 10:40 to play. Then, after forcing a three-and-out, the Seminoles put together a drive

that took more than 4 minutes. This one ended with a 44-yard field goal from Gano to make it 23-17 with 4:33 left, forcing the Wolfpack to go the distance to take the lead.

Graham Gano

That was too much to ask, as N.C. State made two critical mistakes on its last best chance. First, a holding penalty negated a 14-yard run by Wilson to midfield, then Wilson took a sack and a 9-yard loss instead of throwing it away on third down. That forced N.C. State into a fourth-and-14 from its own 30, and Rod Roberts tipped Wilson’s pass intended for Eugene to end the possession with 2:55 left. RUSHING ALONG Florida State ran for 138 yards in its victory over NC State. Florida State has now recorded 100+ rushing yards in each of its six games this season, marking the first time since 2004 that the Seminoles have recorded six straight 100 yard rushing games and the first time since 2002 that FSU has started a season with six straight 100 yard rushing games. SMITH’S OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION Antone Smith’s third quarter 27-yard touchdown run in tonight’s game, which put the Seminoles ahead 13-10, marked the senior’s third straight game with a rush of 20 yards or more for a TD. He also recorded a 60-yard TD run in the win vs. Colorado in Jacksonville and a 20-yarder in the win at Miami. The Pahokee, Fla., native now has 10 rushing touchdowns this season, after having 11 career rushing touchdowns heading into the 2008 season, which ranks 10th on FSU’s single-season rushing TD list.

Game 7 — FSU 30 -- Virginia Tech 20 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Greg Carr made two finger-tip catches on long pass plays to set up touchdowns in the third quarter Saturday and 24thranked Florida State rallied from an early 10-point deficit to defeat Virginia Tech 30-20. The win leaves Florida State (6-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) tied with Maryland for first place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division and in control of its own destiny for a shot at the league’s Dec. 6 championship game.

as they built a 10-0 lead. Dustin Keys’ 15th field goal of the season started the scoring and Glennon pushed in from the 1 for a 10-0 lead while Virginia Tech’s defense held Florida State to a minus 18 yards in the first quarter.

2008 SEASON

F O O T B A L L

But the Seminoles caught up quick with 10 points in a span of just over three minutes early in the second quarter.

Carr, who had three catches for 100 yards, beat Hokies star cornerback Victor Harris for a 48-yard pass from Christian Ponder to set up the go-ahead score. Moments later his 39-yard catch along the sideline set up another touchdown that gave Florida State a 24-13 lead.

On a third-and-1, Antone Smith broke free around his own left side and zipped 39 yards down the sideline untouched for a touchdown. Gano kicked a 50-yard field goal moments later after Derek Nicholson forced a fumble by Tech’s Josh Oglesby. Keys’ 20-yard field goal with three seconds left in the half that put the Hokies ahead 13-10.

Taiwan Easterling’s leaping catch just in front of the goal post on a high throw from Ponder gave Florida State its first lead, 17-13, and Marcus Sims scored from the 1 to hike the advantage to 24-13 after Carr’s grab put the ball on the Virginia Tech doorstep. Graham Gano added three more field goals and has now made a Florida State record 13 straight, including another from 50 yards or further for the fourth straight game.

Greg Carr

Virginia Tech (5-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor on the first play of the game and backup Sean Glennon was knocked out in the third quarter. Both players had left ankle injuries. Cory Holt finished for the Hokies and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andre Smith in the fourth quarter. Losing Taylor was about the only thing that went wrong for the Hokies early

Virginia Tech dominated the first half, rolling up 205 yards and 11 first downs while limited Florida State to only 70 yards and three first games, but the second half was a different story as Florida State’s defense, which collected six sacks in the game, limited the Hokies to 38 yards. It was coach Bobby Bowden’s 379th career win.

12, 13 In A Row For Gano Senior Graham Gano’s 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter was his second of the game. He added a 46-yard attempt with 2:14 left to play marking the third time this year that Gano has made three or more field goals in a game. His third field goal of the game was his 13th straight, setting the school record for consecutive field goals surpassing the previous record of 12 set by Bill Capece in 1980.ake Forest held the rushing advantage in 2005 (247-192), 2006 (169-26) and 2007 (180-47).

Game 8 — Georgia Tech 31 -- FSU 28 ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - FSU fumbled into the end zone to end the Seminoles comeback hopes in the final minute, and Georgia Tech held on to beat the Seminoles 31-28 on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets beat Florida State for the first time since 1975, after going 0-12 against Bobby Bowden and the Seminoles in the ACC. Cooper Taylor’s hit popped the ball loose and Rashaad Reid recovered it with 45 seconds left. Florida State trailed 31-20 before scoring with 6:04 left and then got the ball back with an interception. Florida State (6-2 overall, 3-2 ACC) ended its four-game winning streak because it couldn’t stop Georgia Tech’s big-play, option attack. Three of Georgia Tech’s four touchdown drives lasted no longer than three plays. The Yellow Jackets overcame the loss of quarterback Josh Nesbitt to an ankle injury. Florida State backup D’Vontrey Richardson threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Preston Parker with 6:04 left, and Christian Ponder’s pass to Greg Carr for the 2-point conversion cut Georgia Tech’s lead to 31-28. Florida State’s Patrick Robinson intercepted a pass from Georgia Tech freshman quarterback Jaybo Shaw with 5:49 left. Jermaine Thomas, who rushed for 130 yards, helped move Florida State into scoring position before Sims’ fumble.

and Graham Gano added a 45-yard field goal late in the half. Michael Ray Garvin had a 64-yard kickoff return in the first quarter to set up Gano’s first field goal before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. ANOTHER TFL Junior defensive end Everette Brown continues to make big plays for FSU. In the third quarter he forced a fumble and that tackle for loss brought his career total to 37 which ties him with Broderick Bunkley for 5th all time on FSU’s career tackles for loss list. It is the seventh time in eight games this season that Brown has been credited with a tackle for loss. JERMAINE HAS HIS BEST OUTING Freshman RB Jermaine Thomas had the best day of his young career with 130 yards on nine carries. His previous best was 13 carries for 91 against Western Carolina. Thomas is now just the eighth true freshman in FSU history to run for 300 yards or more in his first season. His 343 yards this season is the eighth highest rushing total by a true freshman Seminole in school history.

Everette Brown

Shaw fumbled on his first play when hit by defensive end Everette Brown. Kendrick Stewart recovered at the Seminoles’ 43, but Florida State gave the ball back when Ponder was stripped by Michael Johnson and Derrick Morgan recovered for the Yellow Jackets. Dwyer found a big lane between left tackle Andrew Gardner and left guard Joseph Gilbert for his first long touchdown run, and only 30 seconds later Taylor intercepted a pass for Greg Carr deflected by Michael Peterson and returned the ball 28 yards to the Florida State 4. Greg Smith scored on a pitch two plays later from the 4 for a 24-10 lead. Florida State recovered to score the final 10 points of the half. A 62-yard run by Thomas set up Ponder’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Seddrick Holloway,

Game 9 — FSU 41 -- Clemson 27 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Christian Ponder threw for a touchdown and ran for another Saturday and Antone Smith ran for two scores as No. 24 Florida State defeated Clemson 41-27 Saturday on coach Bobby Bowden’s 79th birthday. Clemson (4-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) had won the last three games in the series under Bowden’s son, Tommy Bowden, who was fired last month after a 3-3 start. Interim Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is 1-2 since taking over.

now the longest streak in the country--and keeps them tied with Wake Forest for first place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Clemson started fast with C.J. Spiller going 44 yards on a short pass from Cullen Harper to finish off a quick 80-yard opening drive. The Tigers went ahead 10-0 five minutes later Mark Buchholz’s 41-yard field goal.

2008 SEASON

F O O T B A L L

Harper threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns, but it was his costly interception that got Florida State started. Defensive end Neefy Moffett scored on an 18-yard interception of an illadvised throw by Harper to get the Seminoles a 10-10 tie, a minute and 40 seconds after Florida State’s Graham Gano stretched his school mark to 16 straight field goals with a 52-yard kick. After Gano put Florida State up 13-10 with his 17th consecutive made field goal, this from 37 yards, Clemson took its last lead at 17-13 on Harper’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Michael Palmer. The Tigers were set up when they recovered a fumbled punt by Florida State’s Tony Carter at the Seminoles 9. Ponder’s 1-yard TD run put Florida State the lead for keeps at 20-17 with 1:25 left in the half and he hit Corey Surrency on a 14-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half as the Seminoles stretched their advantage to 27-17.

A crowd of nearly 80,000 sang “Happy Birthday” to Bowden in the final moments of the game. The victory was the 380th for Bowden, which is second all-time among major college coaches. He is now 5-1 in games coached on his birthday and just one game behind Penn State’s Joe Paterno, whose team lost Saturday at Iowa. Florida State (7-2, 4-2) overcame an early 10-0 deficit to lead 20-17 at halftime after both teams converted turnovers into touchdowns. It was the fourth straight week the Seminoles have spotted an opponent at least 10 points--rallying for wins in three of those, losing the other on a last-minute fumble. The win makes Florida State bowl eligible for the 27th consecutive season--

Smith scored his 12th and 13th rushing touchdowns of the season on runs of 1 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter around Spiller’s 2-yard TD that got Clemson to within a touchdown with 2:20 left. It was coach Bobby Bowden’s 379th career win. Seminole Gain Over 200 Yards On The Ground With 266 yards on the ground in Saturday’s victory against Clemson, the Seminoles out rushed the opposition for the seventh time in nine games. It marks the fourth time this year the Seminoles have gained for over 200 rushing yards in a game, the most in a season since 2004. Multiple Rushing TD Games With three rushing touchdowns including a pair of 1-yard dives on Saturday night, Florida State has now registered six multiple rushing touchdowns in nine games in 2008.

Game 10 — Boston College 27 -- FSU 17 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Montel Harris ran for 121 yards and a touchdown and Marcellus Bowman went 87 yards with an interception for another score to help Boston College beat No. 20 Florida State 27-17 Saturday night, a day after five Seminoles players were suspended for fighting.

Coach Bowden and Christian Ponder

The Eagles picked off Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder three times and held the Seminoles to just 73 yards rushing. It was the fourth straight year the visiting team has won in this budding rivalry. Florida State knocked off a previously unbeaten and second-ranked Boston College team last year in Boston by an identical 27-17 score. Boston College (7-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) jumped to a 14-0 lead and never trailed while keeping its hopes alive for a spot in next month’s ACC title game in Tampa. BC can win the Atlantic Division with by beating Wake Forest and Maryland the next two weeks. Florida State (7-3, 4-3) needs to win at Maryland next week and hope for help to have any chance to make it to Tampa. The Seminoles have trailed by double digits in their last five games, though they’ve won three. Harris, from nearby Jacksonville, scored from a yard out to give Boston College a 24-10 lead in the final minute of the third quarter before Florida State briefly made it interesting. Preston Parker’s 29-yard touchdown pass to Greg Carr was set up by punter Graham Gano’s 24-yard run on a fake and got Florida State within a touchdown in the first minute of the final quarter. Ponder went to Carr moments later in the end zone trying for a tie, but was picked off by BC’s DeLeon Gause, killing Florida State’s last push. Boston College moved 69 yards on just five plays on the game’s opening drive to score on Chris Crane’s 14-yard pass to Rich Gunnell. Montel Harris 47-yard run on the first play sparked the drive. Bowman’s 87-yard interception return gave BC a 14-0 lead. Gano kicked a 39-yard field goal in the first half before having his string of consecutive field goals snapped at 18 when he missed a 50-yarder early in the second half.

Parker’s Pass Preston Parker now has two career pass completions and both have come against Boston College. In last year’s game, Parker completed a 17-yard pass to De’Cody Fagg in the third quarter. The Seminoles went on to miss a 47-yard field goal on that drive. Tonight’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Greg Carr was Parker’s first career passing TD. Carr And Homecoming Greg Carr and Homecoming just seem to go together. Tonight’s 19-yard touchdown reception marks Carr’s fourth touchdown in Homecoming games. Carr finished the game with two receptions for 40 yards. Carr now has eight receptions for 140 yards and four touchdowns in three career Homecoming games. He did not play in last year’s game against Duke. Homecoming Sorrows After tonight’s game, Florida State is now 21-4 in Homecoming games. The last time Florida State lost was in 2001 against NC State, who was coached by current Seminole linebackers coach Chuck Amato. Florida State lost the game 34-28.

Game 11 — FSU 37 -- Maryland 3 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Florida State kept alive its hopes of advancing to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and buried Maryland’s title hopes under a barrage of sacks and takeaways. Everette Brown had 3½ sacks and forced a fumble, part of an overwhelming performance by the Seminoles’ defense in a 37-3 rout of the 22nd-ranked Terrapins on Saturday night. Florida State (8-3, 5-3) turned two turnovers into touchdowns in taking a 21-0 halftime lead. That was enough to ensure Maryland (7-4, 4-3) its first home loss of the season and ruin the Terrapins’ bid to win the league’s Atlantic Division title. If Boston College beats Maryland next week, it will win the division and play in the championship game. After eliminating the Terrapins from contention, Florida State now must rely on them: If Maryland beats Boston College, the Seminoles will capture the division title. Florida State safety Myron Rolle earned a Rhodes Scholarship, then boarded a private plane and joined the team late in the first half. When he entered the game, the Seminoles had a secure three-touchdown lead. Seeking to go 7-0 at home, Maryland wasted two early chances to jump on top. By the time the Terrapins finally scored in the third quarter, on a 34-yard field goal by Obi Egekeze, Florida State

Myron Rolle

was ahead 24-0. Any chance the Terrapins had of mounting a comeback ended when Da’Rel Scott lost his second fumble with 13:19 left and the Seminoles up 27-3. It was Maryland’s fourth turnover - one more than in its previous three games - and FSU turned that into a touchdown, too.

F O O T B A L L

At that point, most of the fans in the crowd of 51,620 headed for the exits, happy to avoid watching the end of Maryland’s most lopsided loss of the season. The unpredictable Terrapins are 4-0 against Top 25 teams, 3-4 against unranked teams and 0-4 at night. Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder threw for a touchdown and ran for another. He went 19-for-24 for 143 yards and led the Seminoles with 81 yards rushing. But it was the defense that played the biggest part in FSU’s first win at Maryland in three tries since 2002. The Seminoles had six sacks, two interceptions and forced two fumbles in improving to 17-2 in this lopsided rivalry. On their first possession, the Terrapins moved to the Florida State 30 before a sack by Brown took them out of field goal range. Then, after forcing a punt, Maryland moved from its 39 to the FSU 27 before Egekeze missed a 44-yard field goal try. Following those two close calls, the Seminoles put together a 16-play, 73-yard drive capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Ponder to Preston Parker. Ponder passed for 26 yards and ran for 28 more during the march. Later in the second quarter, Brown forced a fumble by Scott and Florida State’s Derek Nicholson scooped up the loose ball and ran 22 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead. Another turnover led to another touchdown and a 21-0 lead with 1:35 left in the half. Chris Turner’s second interception of the game, this one by Toddrick Verdell, was returned 34 yards to the Maryland 38. Four plays later, Antone Smith ran in from the 1.

Game 12 — Florida 45 -- FSU 15 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Tim Tebow threw three touchdown passes, ran for 80 yards and another score, and the second-ranked Gators defeated No. 23 Florida State 45-15 in sloppy conditions Saturday.

ship Series national title game in Miami.

Florida (11-1) extended its winning streak to eight games, continued its dominance in the intrastate rivalry and set up a 1-2 showdown with Alabama in next week’s Southeastern Conference title game.

Christian Ponder threw two interceptions, including one on the first play of the second half. Brandon Spikes returned it to the 20-yard line, and Tebow took over from there.

The Seminoles did little to dampen Florida’s hopes of getting there.

The Gators have won five in a row against Bobby Bowden’s team, and this one was nearly as big a laugher as last season’s 45-12 victory in Gainesville.

He rolled right on third down and threw a strike across his body to Louis Murphy to make it 35-9. Tebow could have made it worse, but he got stuffed on a fourth-and-1 run near the goal line later in the quarter.

Florida scored on five of its first seven possessions, held the Seminoles (8-4) without a touchdown for the first 2 1/2 quarters and again proved that the gap between the two programs is as wide as ever.

Tebow also had TD passes to Aaron Hernandez and Harvin. Harvin, the team’s leading receiver, left the game in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle. He limped off the field with the help of trainers and didn’t return. The Gators hardly missed him, though.

Florida State’s day was ruined by Tebow - and Boston College. Tebow completed 12 of 21 passes for 185 yards and burned the Seminoles with a few scrambles and some key runs up the middle. He also made a key block on Percy Harvin’s TD run, recovered a fumble and made a touchdown-saving tackle following an early fumble.

Jeff Demps ran nine times for 89 yards and a touchdown. Chris Rainey added 97 yards rushing. Tebow and the defense did the rest.

The Eagles piled on by beating Maryland 2821, ending Florida State’s chance of getting to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

Jermaine Thomas

The Seminoles will wait until next weekend to know their bowl destination. Florida’s postseason outlook is much brighter. If the Gators can beat Alabama next Saturday in Atlanta, they would lock up a spot in the Bowl Champion-

Florida outgained the Seminoles 502-242 in yards and had a 3-to-1 advantage for most of the game.

Ponder was benched, and Drew Weatherford led the Seminoles on a touchdown drive midway through the third - it ended FSU’s span of 111 minutes, 44 seconds without a touchdown against Florida - but it did little to spark a comeback. The Seminoles missed the extra point, then failed to recover an onside kick.

Game 13 — FSU 42 -- Wisconsin 13 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Derek Nicholson and Dekoda Watson returned fumbles for touchdowns, Christian Ponder threw two TD passes and Florida State routed Wisconsin 42-13 Saturday in the Champs Sports Bowl.

Hill broke runs of 46 and 43 yards, both setting up Philip Welch field goals. But he fumbled deep in FSU territory late in the third quarter and Nicholson recovered to end the threat.

Florida State (9-4) finished with more than eight wins for the first time since 2004.

Florida State, playing in its NCAA-leading 27th-straight bowl game, improved coach Bobby Bowden’s career record to 21-10-1.

Nicholson had two fumble recoveries, including one he returned 75 yards for a first-quarter touchdown. Punter Graham Gano averaged 48.2 yards on five and had three downed inside the Badgers 5 to earn game MVP.

Antone Smith scored on a 6-yard run off right tackle to put the Seminoles up 21-6 in the third quarter and make the power running Badgers have to go to the pass to catch up.

P.J. Hill ran for 140 yards on 15 carries for the Badgers (7-6), but quarterback Dustin Sherer completed only four of nine for 55 yards through the first three quarters. His fumble early in the fourth quarter was returned 51 yards for a score by Watson to put FSU up 35-6.

Gano placed three first-quarter punts inside the 4, including two inside the 1. The Seminoles couldn’t turn that field position edge into points, though, and when Sherer hit Garrett Graham on a slant for a gain of 43, the game seemed to turn.

Ponder completed 18 of 31 passes for 199 yards.

But on second-and-9 at the Seminoles 19, Sherer took a one-step drop and tried to hit Hill on a quick screen. The ball, clearly a lateral, was deflected by end Neffey Moffett and picked up by Nicholson, who ran 75 yards for a score, high-stepping the last 20. FSU led 7-0 with about 12 minutes left in the first half.

MVP Graham Gano became the first kicker and second specialist in the history of the Champs Sports Bowl to win the game’s MVP award. Gano finished the game with six points going a perfect 6-for-6 in extra point attempts. The senior kicker also tallied five punts for an average of 48.2 yards per punt. He dropped four punts inside 10 and one went for a game-long 58 yards. Graham entered Saturday’s game with four of his 17 punts inside the 20. Attendance Record For the fourth time in the last five years, Florida State has helped set a new attendance record at a bowl game. In Saturday’s Champs Sports Bowl game against Wisconsin, the announced attendance was 52,692, the largest ever in Champs Sports Bowl history. It is the second largest crowd in the history of the bowl which dates to the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl at Dolphins Stadium, formerly known as Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Fla. That game drew 74,021 fans to see a match-up between Florida State and Penn State, a game won by the Seminoles 24-17.

Retired Seminole Numbers & Jerseys Since Florida State University first fielded an intercollegiate football team 62 years ago, only seven numbers/ jerseys have been retired. Those numbers/jerseys — 2, 16, 17, 25, 34, 28 and 50 — belonged to seven of the greatest players in Florida State football history — Deion Sanders, Chris Weinke, Charlie Ward, Fred Biletnikoff, Ron Sellers, Warrick Dunn and Ron Simmons. With his blessing, Sellers’ #34 was brought out of retirement in 2003 and was worn by standout linebacker Ernie Sims for 3 seasons.

#25 Fred Biletnikoff

HONORS AND AWARDS

F O O T B A L L

#34 Ron Sellers Flanker - 1966-68

Wide Receiver - 1962-64 Biletnikoff played wide receiver at Florida State from 1961-64 under Head Coach Bill Peterson. He was FSU’s first consensus All-American. As a senior, he ranked fourth in the nation with 57 receptions for 11 touchdowns, not including four touchdown catches in the Gator Bowl. Following his collegiate success, Biletnikoff went on to star for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League for 14 years. During that time, he played in four Pro Bowls and was the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XI.

Sellers remains the most prolific receiver in FSU history. He held most of the NCAA receiving records from the end of his senior season in 1968 until 1987. A flanker for Florida State from 1966 to 1968, he accumulated 3,979 yards on 240 receptions. Sellers’ career was marked by consistency, quality and quantity. He caught passes in 30 consecutive games, averaging 119.9 yards per game. Sellers also led Florida State to three bowl games during his playing days.

#50 Ron Simmons Noseguard - 1977-80 The greatest defender in Florida State history, Ron Simmons’ number 50 was retired in 1988. Simmons anchored the center of the defense that took FSU to a pair of Orange Bowl appearances in 1979 and 1980, resulting in FSU’s highest national rankings ever at that time. A dominating noseguard and the Tribe’s first two-time consensus AllAmerican, Simmons seemed to camp out in opponents’ backfields. He totaled an FSU record 25 quarterback sacks and 44 tackles for loss — a mark that held top ranking at FSU for 23 years. He was the first Seminole defender to have his number retired.

#2 Deion Sanders Defensive Back - 1985-88 Deion Sanders is the finest defensive back in Florida State history and was so recognized when his jersey was retired in 1995. The winner of the 1988 Jim Thorpe Award signifying the nation’s top defensive back, Sanders was a two-time All-American who electrified the nation with his acrobatic interceptions and remarkable moves as a punt returner. Sanders’ legend grew over his junior and senior seasons with the widespread use of his nickname “Prime Time,” but he remained one of the hardest working players in FSU history. His 14 career interceptions ranked second all-time when he left in 1988 and he held the career record for punt return yardage when he left with 1,429.

Running Back - 1993-96

Heisman Trophy Winner AAU Sulllivan Award Winner Davey O’Brien Award Winner Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Winner Walter Camp Player of the Year Chevrolet Offensive Player of the Year Scripps Howard Player of the Year ACC Player of the Year Toyota Leader of the Year The Sporting News Player of the Year UPI Player of the Year ACC Offensive Player of the Year Football News Offensive Player of the Year Florida State’s Charlie Ward began his senior season in 1993 chasing both the schools’ first national championship and the Heisman Trophy. The 6-foot 2-inch, 190-pound football/basketball star would catch both and much more finishing the year as the most heralded athlete in the history of college football. Thousands of fans poured into Doak Campbell Stadium for a celebration of the national championship and Ward’s Heisman, which included the surprise retirement of his number. He joined Fred Biletnikoff and Ron Sellers becoming only the third player in FSU history to be so honored. Ward’s passing and running skills were already well known qualities by 1993, but his inspired leadership and poise under pressure during his senior year elevated him to one of the game’s all-time greats. So exceptional was Ward’s command of the offense that coaches moved him into the shotgun to allow him to make adjustments during the play. Ward set 19 school and seven Atlantic Coast Conference records over his two years as the starting quarterback for the Seminoles. A consensus All-American, Ward won over 30 individual awards in addition to the Heisman. Ward ranks second in career total offense at FSU with 6,636 yards and has the highest completion rate for a career (62.3%) and lowest interception percentage (2.90%). Ward set the FSU record for touchdown passes in a season with 27 in 1993.

Warrick Dunn’s four-year career at Florida State established him as one of the most popular players in all of college football and the finest running back in school history. Dunn is the only Seminole ever to rush for over 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. His 3,959 career rushing yards broke Greg Allen’s school record set in 1984. He also broke Allen’s single season rushing record when he ran for 1,242 yards as a junior in 1995. Dunn has the record for most touchdowns scored in a career with 49 over four seasons and rushed for over 100 yards more times (21) than any player at FSU. He was a three-time All-ACC selection as well as a member of the ACC all-academic team. He was selected to the first team Football Writer’s All-America squad as a senior and earned second team Associated Press honors that same year.

He set 26 school records, including both the FSU and Atlantic Coast Conference records for career passing yards with 9,839. He led the Seminoles to an undefeated season and the national championship as a junior in 1999. He became FSU’s second Heisman Trophy winner as a senior in 2000, while leading the nation in passing with 4,167 yards and averaging 347.3 yards per game. Weinke compiled a remarkable 32-3 record as the starting quarterback at FSU, which ranked as the seventh best winning percentage in NCAA history. His 79 career touchdown passes ranked as the 12th best performance in NCAA history and his career passing yards placed him at 18th on the NCAA’s all-time list. Weinke owned the first, second and fourth best passing games in FSU history headlined by a school record 536 passing yards against Duke in 2000. His accomplishments were even more impressive considering he suffered a potentially careerending neck injury as a sophomore. Weinke’s place among Florida State’s all-time greatest players was recognized when his jersey No. 16 was retired in 2001, making it one of only seven retired numbers/jerseys in school history. His place among the ACC’s all-time best was recognized when he was voted one of the 50 best players in the history of the conference.

Jim Thorpe Award Honoring the best defensive back in the nation, presented by the Jim Thorpe Athletic Club of Oklahoma City.

Deion Sanders

Terrell Buckley

Cornerback, 1985-88 1988 Jim Thorpe Award Winner

Cornerback, 1989-91 1991 Jim Thorpe Award Winner

One of the best athletes ever to wear a Florida State uniform, cornerback Deion Sanders won the Jim Thorpe Award as the top defensive back of 1988.

In 1991, Terrell Buckley capped the best season ever by a Florida State cornerback by becoming the second Seminole ever to win the Jim Thorpe Award.

Sanders collected the prize after a career which saw him gather 14 career interceptions, not including three in bowl games. In his junior and senior seasons, FSU went 11-1 with a pair of New Year’s Day bowl wins. In 1988, Sanders ranked in the top 10 nationally with five interceptions in nine games. He was the nation’s top punt returner, averaging 15.2 yards per return. The Ft. Myers, Fla., native ranks third on the FSU career inter-ceptions chart and holds most of the school’s punt return records. A three-sport star in football, baseball and track at Florida State, Sanders was the fifth pick in the 1989 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons. He became a successful two-sport pro — elected to the Pro Bowl seven times in football and has started in centerfield for the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds.

HONORS AND AWARDS

F O O T B A L L

A junior, Buckley blew away the Florida State record for interceptions with 12 in 1991. He intercepted passes in eight of FSU’s 12 regular season contests to lead the country in pickoffs. Against Michigan in Ann Arbor, his interception and 40-yard return for a touchdown on the game’s first play set the stage for a 51-31 Florida State win. A native of Pascagoula, Miss., Buckley also demolished the Florida State career record with 21 INTs in just three seasons. His 470 career return yards broke an NCAA record that had stood since 1974. Following the year, Buckley entered the NFL draft and was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the fifth pick in the first round.

Butkus Award Emblematic of the nation’s top collegiate linebacker, established by the Downtown Athetic Club of Orlando and named for College Hall of Famer Dick Butkus of Illinois.

Paul McGowan

Marvin Jones

Inside Linebacker, 1984-87 1987 Butkus Award Winner

Inside Linebacker, 1990-92 1992 Butkus Award Winner

Calling the Butkus Award for linebackers, “the Heisman of the Bad Guys,” FSU inside linebacker Paul McGowan accepted the award from Dick Butkus himself in December of 1987. The 6-1, 230-pound McGowan won the award by a one-point margin over Ohio State’s Chris Spielman. McGowan won the award based on a senior season in which he totaled 150 tackles, including 97 solo stops and 11 behind the line of scrimmage. He was named to the Associated Press, Sporting News and Football News first team All-America squads.

The top player in the nation in 1992, Marvin Jones became the first Seminole to capture two national awards in the same year when he earned both the Butkus Award for linebackers and the Lombardi Award for linemen and linebackers following his junior season. Florida State’s third two-time consensus All-American, Jones tallied 111 tackles and seven tackles for a loss in 1992 while leading the Seminoles to an 11-1 record. He made 10 or more tackles in nine games and finished fourth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy. He finished his career seventh on FSU’s career tackle chart with 369, and third on the all-time list with 28 tackles for loss. A first team All-ACC choice out of Miami, Fla., Florida State tailored its nationally-ranked defense to Jones’ strength in 1992. Jones left Tallahassee for the NFL after his junior season, and at the time, was the highest Seminole draft choice when he was selected fourth overall by the New York Jets.

Florida State’s third two-time consensus All-American, Jones tallied 111 tackles and seven tackles for a loss in 1992 while leading the Seminoles to an 11-1 record.

369, and third on the all-time list with 28 tackles for loss. A first team All-ACC choice out of Miami, Fla., Florida State tailored its nationally-ranked defense to Jones’ strength in 1992. Jones left Tallahassee after his junior season for the NFL, and at the time, was the highest Seminole draft choice ever when he was selected fourth overall by the New York Jets.

Jamal Reynolds Defensive End, 1997-00 2000 Lombardi Award Winner Defensive end Jamal Reynolds became just the second Florida State player ever to win the Lombardi Award when he was named the nation’s most outstanding lineman/linebacker following his senior year. A consensus AllAmerican following the 2000 season, Reynolds was another in the prominent line of great defensive linemen for the Seminoles that included 1999 Lombardi runner-up Corey Simon. Reynolds joins Seminole star Marvin Jones who won the Lombardi in 1992 from his middle linebacker position. Reynolds led the Seminoles in sacks as a senior with 12 and forced four fumbles for a defense that was among the nation’s best in 2000. He finished the year with 58 tackles including 28 unassisted stops and had two safeties on the year. His 23.5 career quarterback sacks ranks fourth all-time at FSU and his 12 sacks as a senior ties him with Ron Simmons (1977) as the fifth best season ever. Reynolds was the first FSU player selected in the 2001 NFL draft when he was taken in the first round by the Green Bay Packers with the 10th pick. Reynolds’ distinction as a consensus All-American puts him in the company of Peter Boulware (1996), Reinard Wilson (1996) and Andre Wadsworth (1997), who also earned the distinction at defensive end.

Corey Simon

Andre Wadsworth

Nose Guard, 1996-99 Runner-up for 1999 Lombardi Award

Defensive End, 1994-97 Runner-up for 1997 Lombardi Award

One of the finest defensive linemen in FSU history, Corey Simon was a consensus AllAmerica selection in 1999, following a senior season in which he was a finalist for both the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy. Simon led the FSU defensive linemen and was fourth on the team with 84 tackles, including 48 solo stops. He led the ACC with 21 tackles for loss and also had four quarterbacks sacks and three passes broken up. Simon recorded eight games with at least seven tackles in 1999 and put together his two finest games in road wins over Clemson (with a career high 10 tackles, including three for loss) and Virginia. His interception while covering running back Thomas Jones of the Cavaliers was one of the most impressive plays by a lineman that season. He also blocked a punt against the Cavaliers and was named the ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his play in that game. Simon was selected ESPN Player of the Game vs. Clemson and Virginia. He had at least one tackle for loss in all 11 games and his play was instrumental in keeping Florida State ranked atop the polls for the entire season.

Defensive end Andre Wadsworth went from a walk-on at Florida State in 1993 to consensus All-America as a senior in 1997 and parlayed that success to become Florida State’s highest ever NFL Draft pick as he was taken with the third overall pick in the first round by the Arizona Cardinals. Wadsworth had an outstanding senior season, which resulted in being named the 1997 ACC Defensive Player of the Year as well as to the All-ACC first team. A finalist for the Lombardi Award, Wadsworth led the ACC in sacks with 16 during his senior season — a total that ranks second on the FSU all-time single season list. He finished his career with 233 total tackles and his 23 career sacks ranks tied for fifth in school history. Wadsworth started for two seasons at nose guard before moving to defensive end in his final year.

Bill Peterson (1960-70)

62-42-11

Bill Peterson took over a football program in deep trouble in 1960. When he left, 11 years and four bowl games later, he had become the most significant coach in the first 25 years of Florida State football. Under “Pete,” the Seminoles went 62-42-11. The most memorable Peterson year was 1964, when the “Seven Magnificents” led Florida State to a 9-1-1 record and FSU’s first ever win over Florida.

Larry Jones (1971-73)

15-19-0

Larry Jones compiled a 15-19 record in three years as the Seminole head coach. In his first two seasons, the popular coach led his teams to a 15-8 record; but he is probably remembered most for the 1973 campaign, when his team did not win a game.

Darrell Mudra (1974-75)

4-18-0

Darrell Mudra was a successful coach before arriving at Florida State, and he was successful after he left. At FSU, Mudra inherited an 0-11 team and wasn’t able to bring the program back to the glory years it enjoyed under Bill Peterson. Mudra coached from the press box instead of the sidelines.

Bobby Bowden

(1976-Present) 309-91-4 Current Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden enters his 34th season at the helm of the Seminole program that he resurrected beginning in 1976. By far the winningest coach in school history, Bowden has accumulated more wins (300) than the previous seven head coaches combined. He is currently major college football’s all-time second-winningest coach. Bowden has taken the Florida State program to the top of the college football world and has won two national championships (1993, 1999). Bowden’s Seminoles have been one of the most dominant bowl teams ever posting a 21-10-1 record with NCAA records for consecutive bowl wins (10) and consecutive bowl appearances without a loss (14). Bowden is the only coach in the history of college football to lead teams to 10 or more wins over 14 straight seasons. He is also the only coach ever to lead his team to 14 straight finishes among the Associated Press Top Five.

This is the Acc The Championships

The Tradition

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced

and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 57th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 113 national championships, including 60 in women’s competition and 53 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 145 times in men’s competition and 92 times in women’s action. The conference had an immediate impact on the national college football scene in the fall of 1953 when the University of Maryland captured the first of what would eventually be five national football titles for the ACC. Clemson laid claim to the league’s second national title in 1981 while Georgia Tech followed suit in 1990. Florida State pocketed national titles No. 4 and 5 in 1993 and 1999, respectively. Additionally, Miami has laid claim to five national gridiron titles over the past 22 seasons. Four of the Hurricanes’ five national titles (1983, 1987, 1989, 2001) were unanimous with both the sportswriters and coaches polls, while in 1991 Miami (AP) shared the national title with Washington (coaches). This past season nine ACC players earned first team All-America recognition, while six others garnered second or third team honors. The 12 institutions that take to the field this fall under the ACC banner have produced 547 first or second team gridiron All-Americans and 73 first team academic All-Americans. Since becoming a 12-team league in 2005, the ACC has consistently made history in the NFL’s annual professional football draft. In this past year’s draft the ACC had four of the top nine players chosen including the first linebacker (Aaron Curry, Wake Forest, 4th overall) chosen. In the past four years, no other league has achieved that feat and the ACC has accomplished it twice (also in 2006). In 2008, led by Virginia defensive end Chris Long, the second overall selection by the St. Louis Rams, and Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, the third overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons, the ACC achieved a first for any conference in the NFL Draft, having two of the top four players selected in each of three consecutive seasons. Over the past four years, the ACC has had more players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft (30) than any other conference and, in that time, has had more overall players taken in the NFL Draft (148) than any other intercollegiate league except one. In 2006, the ACC set NFL draft records with 12 first-round selections and 51 players drafted overall. Long, who was the first defensive player chosen in the 2008 draft, became the third straight ACC player to achieve that feat joining NC State’s Mario Williams, the top overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, and Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2007 Draft, as the first defensive players chosen. No other league has ever had the top defender chosen in the draft for three straight years. Heading into the 2009 football season, no league in America had sent more linebackers to the NFL, as no fewer than 62 former ACC standouts began the summer on NFL rosters, the next closest athletic conference had produced 51. The 12 current ACC schools have had 2,190 players selected in the annual professional football draft, including 222 first round selections. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC over the years has proven itself to be among the elite in Division I-A football. In 2008, the ACC won more non-conference games than ever before, posting a 41-17 record including 17-14 (.548 winning percentage) against teams from the SEC, Big Ten, PAC-10, Big 12 and Big East Conferences. This past season, the ACC set an NCAA record sending 10 of its teams to post-season bowl games. Since 2005, no conference has had as many bowl game participants as the ACC, which has sent 34 teams to bowls in the four-year span. Additionally, four of its teams—Boston College (4th, 13-7, .650), Florida State (7th, 22-14-2, .605), Georgia Tech (9th, 22-15, .595) and Miami (14th, 19-15, .559)—rank among the Top 15 winningest bowl programs of all-time. In 2008, the ACC broke its own NCAA record of percentage of teams going to bowl games set in 2002, as 83.3 percent of its teams were in post-season play. Also in 2008, the ACC recorded its second-highest total attendance figure in history, with 4,385,269 fans in 83 games. That marked the third straight year the Conference has exceeded 4.1 million fans in attendance. ACC Football was also No. 1 with a diploma in 2008 as the Conference, according to the NCAA, led all Football Bowl Subdivision Conferences in graduation rate and APR. Florida State’s All-ACC safety Myron Rolle was honored as one of two ACC studentathletes to be awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, the league’s first football player to be so honored in 47 years.

2008-09 in Review (as of June 10)

The 2008-09 academic year saw league teams capturing five national team titles and 10 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 48 national team titles over the last 13 years. The ACC has won two or more NCAA titles in 27 of the past 29 years. A total of 123 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2008-09. League teams compiled a 124-64-1 (.659) mark against non-conference opponents in NCAA championship competition. In addition, the ACC had 143 student-athletes earn first team All-America honors this past year. Overall, the league had 214 first, second or third team All-Americans and the ACC produced seven national Players of the Year and three national Coach of the Year honorees.

The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 200809 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet being held in tennis at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play.

A History

The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.

Athletics Administration Thomas Kent “T.K.” Wetherell PRESIDENT Dr. Thomas Kent “T.K.” Wetherell became the 13th president of Florida State University on January 6, 2003. A career educator with more than 30 years of experience in the State of Florida’s educational system, Dr. Wetherell is the only FSU president with experience in all four major divisions within higher education, having held positions in the offices of academic affairs, student services, business affairs, and college development. He has held leadership positions in two-year as well as four-year colleges, and he has served as a faculty member in both public and private institutions of higher education. An outstanding advocate for higher education who has been called the state’s most politically astute university president, Wetherell has proven to be a leader among his peers, and he pushed successfully for universities to assess a tuition differential in an effort to make up for budget shortfalls and continue to offer high-quality education to students. Soon after assuming the presidency, Wetherell, the first university alumnus to serve as president of Florida State, launched the innovative and ambitious Pathways of Excellence initiative that included hiring additional faculty members in interdisciplinary clusters built around academic themes, substantial investments in new facilities, and significant investments in graduate-level programs with emphasis on creating new interdisciplinary doctoral programs. Wetherell scored a major coup in 2005 when The Florida State University lured the Applied Superconductivity Center to campus from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where it had been housed for more than two decades. The center has become the material research division of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The most visible component of the Pathways initiative may be the $800 million worth of new construction and renovations, including state-of-the-art chemistry, biological science, psychology and medicine buildings, that have transformed the northwest corner of campus into a research quadrangle. In addition, other projects include several new research facilities, three new residence halls, dining halls, parking garages, a general classroom building and the Alumni Center. Under Wetherell’s leadership, the university has seen its students reach unprecedented national academic recognition, including three students who were named Rhodes Scholars -- one of the oldest and most prestigious awards for international study. The success is in part due to the Office of National Fellowships, which has guided students to win more than 40 nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships, including three Truman Scholarships, three Goldwater Scholarships, the Udall Scholarship and 22 Fulbright Fellowships, since Wetherell established it in 2005. During Wetherell’s tenure as president, Florida State University’s College of Medicine, the nation’s first new fully accredited public allopathic medical school in the past 25 years, graduated its first class in 2005, opened six regional campuses, and established important research collaborations with the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. Dr. Wetherell has been inducted into Florida State University’s Hall of Fame and was the recipient of the prestigious Moore-Stone Award, the Circle of Gold Award and the university’s Distinguished Service Award. In addition, he has also been awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Flagler College. Dr. Wetherell served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1980 to 1992, the last two years as Speaker of the House. During his tenure in the House he served as chairman of the appropriations committee and the higher education committee. The Miami Herald named him one of the Top

180

Ten Legislative Leaders in the House each year from 1987 until 1992. A third-generation Floridian, Dr. Wetherell was born on December 22, 1945 in Daytona Beach, Florida. He attended Port Orange Elementary School and Mainland Senior High School, where he was active in service clubs, student government and athletics. He attended Florida State University on a football scholarship and played on the 1963-67 football teams. He still holds the record for the longest kickoff return in Florida State University history. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social studies education from FSU in 1967 and 1968, respectively. He earned a doctorate in education administration from FSU in 1974. Wetherell is married to Virginia B. Wetherell, who served as Secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection from 1991 to 1998 and previously served as a state legislator representing Pensacola. She currently is president of Wetherell Consulting Services. They are the parents of three children, Kent, Blakely and Page, and have two grandchildren. Wetherell’s personal interests include athletics, outdoor recreation, travel and aviation.

Randy Spetman DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS While Randy Spetman’s first year and a half as Athletics Director at Florida State University has seen its share of challenges, it’s the numerous successes that the Seminoles have enjoyed that he wishes to emphasize. “No doubt we’ve had our share of challenges at Florida State,” Spetman said, “but we are blessed with a great staff, quality student-athletes and the best coaches in the nation and that is evident by all of the honors and successes we’ve celebrated over the past year.” The success under Spetman’s reign begins in the classroom. In November, football’s Myron Rolle highlighted the academic year when he became the second Seminole studentathlete in the past four years to earn the Rhodes Scholarship - one of the oldest and most prestigious awards for

international study. It was the first time in nearly 25 years they awarded the scholarship to a prominent college football player. Rolle is the fourth Florida State student ever to be named a Rhodes Scholar. Five Seminoles earned CoSIDA Academic All-American honors while 15 Seminole studentathletes were named District Academic All-Americans. Numerous Florida State student-athletes were also named to ACC Academic teams. From start to finish, the 2008-09 athletic season provided a great deal of excitement, culminating in a 3rd straight Top 15 finish in the NACDA Director’s Cup. Florida State had 18 of its 19 athletic teams participate in NCAA postseason competition and earned five ACC team championships while student-athletes garnered 11 NCAA individual national championships, 36 ACC individual championships, 90 All-America selections, 79 All-ACC honors and 17 end of the year ACC awards. In addition, Florida State coaches received 14 Coach of Year honors at the ACC, regional and national level. Florida State President Dr. T.K. Wetherell introduced Spetman as the university’s new Director of Athletics on February 4, 2008, following a national search. Spetman, a former Air Force colonel, took over at FSU after serving as Athletics Director at Utah State from 2004-2008 and at the United States Air Force Academy from 1996-2003. “Randy Spetman has a strong record of leadership with honesty and integrity. His experience and organizational and management skills set him apart as one of the best athletics directors in the country,” Wetherell said upon Spetman’s hiring. “We’re very pleased that he is joining the Florida State Family.” Spetman, 56, was lauded over his tenure at Utah State for the success of the Aggies’ athletic programs both on the field or court and in the classroom. Utah State joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 2005 and Utah State claimed four conference championships in its first two years. USU’s student-athletes led the WAC with a 78 percent graduation rate and maintained over a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Under Spetman’s leadership, Utah State made high profile improvements to the football stadium. He also spearheaded fundraising and building efforts for a $12.5 million facility and crafted a unique business partnership for medical health coverage that improved the overall coverage of USU student-athletes and reduced medical costs. In addition, he negotiated a lucrative new marketing agreement for Aggie Athletics with Learfield Sports Properties. Spetman spent eight successful years as Director of Athletics at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Co. During his tenure, he administered the school’s 27-sport intercollegiate program as well as the physical education and intramural programs. Under his command, the football team participated in four bowl games. Born and raised in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Spetman graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1976. He earned three letters as a defensive end for the Falcons and was a team captain as a senior. He also won a pair of heavyweight Wing Open Boxing Championships. Spetman’s 28 year military career took him around the world in a variety of positions. A command pilot with more than 3,000 hours of flight time, Spetman’s range of positions took him from assistant football coach at his alma mater to a pilot and from the Chief of Bomber Planning in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm to serving as Chief, Command and Control Division, Operations Directorate

of the U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, Germany. A graduate from Squadron Officer School, he attended the National War College and earned a master’s degree in National Security Strategy. Spetman also holds a master’s in management and supervision from Central Michigan University. He will serve at President of the National Association of Collegiate Director’s of Athletics (NACDA) in 2009-10. He and his wife, the former Becky Luhring of Des Moines, Iowa, are the parents of two grown children, Brian and Kim.

SERVICES AND PROGRAMS: Summer Academic Advising The advisors in Athletic Academic Support Services serve as the lower-division advising unit for all student-athletes. The staff advises students through the Liberal Studies curriculum and degree prerequisites. The advisors work with the students in a number of areas related to the academic experience at Florida State University, but with a primary emphasis in advising and monitoring the progress toward the selected degree program, taking into consideration, all variables, which would enhance or impede each student’s progress toward the goal of graduation. Study Hall Professionally supervised study sessions for each athletic team are organized in order to help ensure the academic success of the student-athletes. The main focus of the study hall program is to help students develop consistent and appropriate study patterns by

182

providing a structured setting to work on class assignments and to provide tutorial assistance before academic problems arise. Although the criteria for study hall is left to the discretion of each academic advisor, typically, most freshmen, first year transfers, and upperclassmen who have not yet achieved a satisfactory cumulative grade point average are requested to attend study hall. Tutor and Mentor Program The tutorial program is available to all student-athletes as they progress towards their ultimate goal of obtaining a college degree. Approximately, 100 tutors are hired each year, from a variety of academic departments. Every tutor is committed to providing a proactive, individualized approach in assisting student-athletes with course comprehension and study skills. The tutors are graduate level students who excel in a specific area of study. All mentors are graduate students

who have outstanding academic backgrounds. Mentors are academic role models who have demonstrated the ability to teach and give guidance in areas of academic developmental skills. They are responsible for providing assistance in the development of skills such as note taking, test preparation, and communication with faculty. In essence, mentors become an extension of the academic advisor as they keep the academic performance of their student-athletes under close observation and report to the academic advisors each week. Computer Lab The Athletic Academic Support Services computer labs are located in the Moore Athletics Center and in the new Learning Center located on the 9th floor of the University Center. FSU has 47 PC compatible computers and several laser printers available for use by the studentathletes. A computer lab is

available 24/7 to student-athletes with a current FSU ID card. The entire Athletic Academic Support Services wing is also equipped with wireless internet. Bridge Program Athletic Academic Support Services, in conjunction with Athletic Student Services and the University, offers incoming student-athletes a “Summer Bridge Program” to aid in the transition from high school to college and highlights many different topics that are important for student-athlete success. The program is a week-long intensive orientation that incorporates the University orientation with the athletics department orientation and continues throughout the six-week summer session. Seminars, designed to acclimate the students to the University community, are conducted weekly. Seminar topics include media training, health promotions, academic mapping requirements, the Academic Honor Policy and Student Code of Conduct as well as faculty communications and expectations. Academic Honors and Awards Program Athletic Academic Support Services is committed to recognizing the academic success of all student-athletes. The annual “Golden Torch Gala,” is an academic awards banquet that occurs each fall and is the highlight of the year. At this event, the ACC Honor Roll student-athletes, as well as the

individuals with the highest GPA on their respective teams, and the men’s and women’s teams with the highest GPA are recognized. Team meetings are held each year, during which time student-athletes are notified of potential honors and awards and are encouraged to apply. Combining a strong grade point average with athletic accomplishments, community service activities, and leadership experiences make for a studentathlete capable of obtaining unlimited academic honors, awards and postgraduate opportunities. Florida State University student-athletes have achieved great success in obtaining recognition for academic excellence and that was no different in 2008-09. In November, football’s Myron Rolle became the second Seminole student-athlete in the past four years to earn the Rhodes Scholarship - one of the oldest and most prestigious awards for international study. It was the first time in nearly 25 years they awarded the scholarship to a prominent college football player. Rolle is the fourth Florida State student ever to be named a Rhodes Scholar. He follows in the footsteps of former Student Body President Joe O’Shea (2008), student-athlete (track and field) Garrett Johnson (2006) and Caroline Alexander (1976). The scholarships provide all expenses for up to two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England. Over the past 15 years, more than $450,000 in Postgraduate Scholarship monies has been granted to FSU student-athletes, as well as numerous other academic honors and awards. During the 2008-09 academic year, five Seminoles earned CoSIDA Academic All-American honors including track’s Javier Garcia-Tunon and Susan Kuijken (first team), and Gonzalo Barriolhet (second team), Rolle (second team) and softball’s Carly Wynn (third team) Fifteen Seminole student-athletes were named District Academic All-Americans, including Myron Rolle (Football), Becky Edwards, Marissa Kazbour, Katrin Schmidt, Lauren Switzer, Sanna Talonen (Soccer), Michelle Snyder, Carly Wynn (Softball), Brianna Barry and Taylor Wilson (Volleyball), Mara Freshour (Women’s Basketball) and Gonzalo Barroilhet, Javier GarciaTunon, Susan Kuijken and Lydia Willemse (Track & Cross Country). At the conclusion of the 2008-09 school year, 175 Seminole student-athletes were named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll while seven of Florida State’s athletic teams had a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average. In the spring 2009 semester, 202 Seminoles achieved a 3.0 GPA or better, 10 athletic teams had a 3.0 or better GPA and the average team semester GPA was a 2.8. Ten studentathletes made the spring 2009 President’s List with a perfect 4.0 GPA while 62 student-athletes earned Dean’s List status with a GPA of 3.5 or better. Track and field’s Keyla Smith and Matt Wernke and Ania Rynarzewska of the women’s tennis team were among 42 Atlantic Coast Conference scholar-athletes named 2009 ACC Weaver-JamesCorrigan Postgraduate Scholarship Award recipients. Rynarzewska was also the female recipient of the first ever Jim McKay Scholarship, which will be presented annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and plan to pursue postgraduate studies in the communications industry.

Serving the community is the focus of the Seminole Spirit program. Student-athletes are challenged to provide service to our community and individuals who are in need. With a clearly defined program of service, student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop lifelong commitment to volunteerism. Over the years, the commitment to community service has grown leaps and bounds. The FSU athletic department was recently recognized by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports for the most successful outreach and community service program in which FSU student-athletes impacted the lives of over 150,000 youths.

Leadership Development The Florida State University Department of Athletics is committed to developing programs of excellence that foster leadership development. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) has been in place in the Florida State University Athletic Department for many years, and consists of a fantastic group of motivated student-athletes. The SAAC consists of 42 student-athletes, at least two from every team, and they meet every two weeks to discuss issues confronting student-athletes, here at FSU, as well as in the Atlantic Coast Conference and across the nation. The SAAC at FSU has many responsibilities: they take the lead on a variety of events, starting with the New Student-Athlete Orientation, Peers Helping Athletes Transition (PHAT) Tuesdays with freshmen student-athletes, the Culture Fest (student-athletes celebrating diversity within the athletic department), the Welcome Back Picnic and culminating with the Golden Nole Awards year ending banquet where seniors from each team are honored and studentathletes who have excelled in the area of community service are awarded.

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COMPLIANCE OFFICE The following information is provided by the Florida State University Compliance Office for prospective student-athletes, alumni and boosters. It is intended as a guideline to introduce you to some of the rules governing NCAA athletics. KEY DEFINITIONS YOU SHOULD KNOW Representatives of Athletics Interests: A representative of athletics interests,

commonly called a booster, is any individual who is known (or should have been known) by a member of the institution’s athletic department that has ever: • • • • • •

Contributed financially to the athletics department or to its booster club. Joined the institution’s booster club or any sport specific support group. Provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families. Assisted in any manner in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. Promoted the institution’s athletics program. Purchased season tickets.

*** Once an individual is identified as a representative, the person retains that identity forever. *** Prospective Student-Athlete: A prospective student-athlete “prospect” is any

student who has started classes for the ninth grade regardless of his/her athletics ability and/or participation. Any student younger who receives any benefit from an institution or representatives of athletics interests immediately becomes a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges or officially withdrawn from a four-year institution are considered prospective student-athletes. A prospective student-athlete remains a prospect even after he or she has signed a National Letter of Intent or accepts an offer of financial aid or admissions to attend an institution. The prospect remains a prospect until he/she reports for the first day of classes for a regular term (fall or spring) or the first official day of practice, whichever occurs earlier. Contact: A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the

prospect’s parents, relatives or legal guardian(s) and an institutional staff member during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting.

Brian Battle

Associate Athletics Director for Compliance

Jody Smith

Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance

Bret Cowley

Compliance Assistant

Evaluation: An evaluation is any off-campus activity designed to assess the

prospect’s academic qualifications or athletic ability, including any visit to his/her high school (during which no contact occurs) or the observation of a prospect’s practice or competition at any site. PHONE CALLS AND LETTERS

Phone calls from coaches (but not boosters) are permitted beginning July 1 before the prospect’s senior year in high school. A coach is limited to one phone call per week except that unlimited phone calls may be made:

MEDIA & UNIVERSITY

F O O T B A L L

• During the five days immediately before an official visit to the university; • On the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect; or • During the time beginning with the National Letter of Intent signing date through the two days after the signing date and the day after a National Letter of Intent or scholarship agreement is signed. A PROSPECT OF ANY AGE COULD RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING FROM A COACH: • Questionnaire • Camp brochure • NCAA educational information • Non-athletics institutional publications (official academic, admission and student services publications and videotapes produced by the institution and are available to all students) AFTER SEPTEMBER 1ST OF A PROSPECT’S JUNIOR YEAR, A COACH COULD PROVIDE: • Written correspondence, including letters and e-mails • Business Cards • Media Guide • Game programs (only on an official or unofficial visit) • Pre-enrollment information after prospect signs National Letter of Intent or has been admitted • Any other information may be provided via the institution’s web site WHO IS PERMITTED TO RECRUIT FOR FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY?

Only Florida State coaches who have successfully completed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination on an annual basis may be involved in the recruitment process. Boosters may not make any recruiting contacts. This includes letters, telephone calls or face-to-face contact on or off campus with a prospect or the prospect’s parents. ALUMNI AND BOOSTERS DO’S AND DON’TS • You may forward information about prospects to the appropriate coaches. • You may have contact with a prospect regarding permissible pre-enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has already signed a National Letter of Intent and the Compliance Office is aware you are making these contacts in regard to employment. • You may have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletic programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. • You may view a prospect’s contest at your own initiative provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect. • You may continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted as long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Florida State University coaches. • You may not become involved in making arrangements to receive money or financial aid of any kind for a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends. • You may not make contact with a prospect and his/her parents when the prospect is on campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit. • You may not transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). • You may not pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect. • You may not provide anything to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

The Don Fauls Athletic Training Room • Construction on the state-of-the-art Don Fauls Athletic Training Room was completed in 2004. The 15,000 square foot athletic training room is housed off Doak Campbell Stadium and is used by all 19 Seminole varsity teams. • This facility is adequately equipped with the latest advances that the field of sports medicine has to offer. Some of the attractions include an in-house pharmacy, x-ray machine and two physician evaluation rooms. • There is also a 4,000 square foot rehabilitation room with the latest version of a Biodex isokinetic testing machine. • The treatment area includes 24 treatment tables with various modalities, computer injury tracking devices, and 18 taping benches. • Florida State’s athletes have amply accessibility for aquatic therapy as the Don Fauls Athletic Training Room includes a 8’ x 40’ in-ground workout pool, a 9’ x 16’ in-ground old whirlpool, a 9’ x 16’ in-ground warm whirlpool and nine extremity whirlpools.

One of the most important aspects of a top athletic program is the athletic training staff and Florida State’s sports medicine operation is headed by one of the best in the country in Randy Oravetz, who enters his 23rd year as the Director of Sports Medicine and his 31st year as an employee at Florida State. A 1979 graduate of Florida State, Oravetz was instrumental in the design of the Don Fauls Athletic Training Room, named in honor of the legendary FSU athletic trainer. He supervises a staff of 10 assistant athletic trainers, six graduate-assistant athletic trainers and 42 student athletic trainers. He also oversees the medical care of over 500 athletes in 19 varsity sports. He is the primary liaison between the Florida State team doctors and the coaching staff and is directly responsible for the everyday care and treatment of the FSU football team. Well-respected nationally, Oravetz has been recognized for excellence in his field. He was named to the Hall of Fame, Class of 2007 for the Athletic Trainers’ Association of Florida (ATAF) and was honored by the National Association of Athletic Trainers in 1988 when he was awarded the National Service Award and again in 2000 when he received the Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award.

Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium

From a maximum capacity of 15,000 in 1953 to a record crowd of 84,347 in 2005 against Miami, Doak S. Campbell Stadium has risen along with the Florida State football program to the top of the college football ladder. In a special ceremony prior to the Florida game on November 20, 2004, the home of Florida State football took on a meaning even more special when Bobby Bowden Field was dedicated. Now, with numerous additions to enhance the gameday experience, Seminole fans are treated to one of college football’s greatest venues. The 2008 season saw Doak Campbell Stadium come alive with new and exciting features. The north endzone scoreboard went from a video board that was 33 feet wide to a new 100 foot wide high quality digital board. The south endzone, which did not have any scoreboard prior to 2008, now dons a 24’x 45’ video board. The video boards weren’t the only improvements, however, as 500 feet of ribbon board was also added around the stadium which display colorful graphics. The LED displays, which stand four-feet high, were placed in all four corners of the stadium. There are also ribbon boards running under the scoreboard in the north end zone and one just below where the band is located on the south side. In 2007 a new sound system was installed improving the sound quality and smoothness. The system provides high quality sound to each and every person in the 83,000+ seat stadium. The newest structural portions of the stadium are a second deck of the Varsity Club in the northwest corner of the stadium and additional Skyboxes leased through Seminole Boosters in the northeast corner. A brand new playing surface was installed in March of 2004. The entire floor of the stadium was excavated eight inches deep and the old pump drainage system was replaced with a complete wall-to-wall system built exactly to USGA golf green standards. Sod, with the same variety of 419 Tiftway Bermuda that the Seminoles have been playing on for most of the previous 12 years, was laid on the entire field in 2004 and again in the spring of 2009.

The south end zone houses the Florida State University School of Hospitality, where students in the program receive hands-on experience in various aspects of the food and beverage industry. The multi-level facility includes a restaurant and a sports grill on the top floor that gives a breathtaking panoramic view of Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium. The north end zone, which consisted of wood bleachers until the 1994 season kicked off, is topped by the offices of the football coaches. The offices are just part of the Daisy Parker Flory wing of the Moore Athletic Center which includes a number of amenities for the football staff. An even more drastic change came to completion in June of 2005 when the athletics department offices moved back into the newly rebuilt Moore Center. Towering above college football action from the east side are skyboxes, which stretch from goal line to goal line. New skyboxes are located above the west stands on the eighth floor. The west addition also houses the president’s level on the seventh floor (which includes an open air terrace in the northwest corner) and one of the largest press boxes in college football with seating for over 250 members of the media.

A brick facade surrounds the stadium, matching the architectural design of most of the buildings on the Florida State campus. The University Center surrounds Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium and houses numerous offices that were located on the interior of the FSU campus. Inside the stadium, the lowest tier of field level seats were removed, providing increased sideline space and better viewing lines for the first few rows of fans. A matching brick wall was constructed along the east and west sidelines, limiting field access, increasing safety and giving the inside of the stadium a whole new look. In its last 130 home games, FSU is 113-16-1. Bobby Bowden’s Florida State teams have lost only 30 games at home in 32 years, giving the coach an impressive 164-30-2 record and an .842 winning percentage in Tallahassee. A milestone was reached on September 28, 1996 when Bowden won his 100th game in Doak Campbell Stadium as FSU’s head coach with a 13-0 victory over North Carolina. In 2007, Bowden won his 300th career game at FSU right on the field that bears his name with a 24-16 win over Maryland. But the winning tradition of Doak S. Campbell Stadium, which was named after the former FSU president of the same name, goes back before Bowden. All-time, Florida State is 254-83-4 in 341 home games for a winning percentage of .751. Since the stadium opened on Oct. 7, 1950 with Florida State University taking a 40-7 victory over Randolph-Macon, millions of fans have packed Doak S. Campbell to see the finest in college football action. In 2003, Florida State set a single season attendance mark by drawing 498,895 fans over six home games. The latest expansion is the ninth in the history of the stadium. The current capacity of 82,300 reflects an increase of 28,281 since the end of the 1991 season. Florida State first began play at Centennial Field during the inaugural 1947 season. In the three seasons that the Seminoles called Centennial Field their home, FSU had an overall home record of 8-4, including Coach Don Veller’s undefeated 8-0 home mark over the 1948 and ’49 seasons. It’s hard to imagine the first Doak Campbell Stadium, with a capacity of 15,000 back in 1950 was built at a cost of $250,000. In 1954, the stadium grew to a capacity of 19,000. Six thousand more seats were added in 1961. During the Bill Peterson era (1960-70), the stadium was expanded to 40,500 seats, and it remained at that capacity for the next 14 years. Between 1978 and 1982, there were three more additions. Doak Campbell continues to grow and improve and has become an outstanding showcase for Florida State University.

brief History of Florida state football...

1851:

Florida State University actually began in 1851 when a legislative act established the Seminary West of the Suwannee. The first students enrolled in 1857 and the Florida State College was co-educational until 1905 when the Buckman Bill sent all the female students to the “new” Florida State College for Women. The huge numbers of male college students wishing to enter school on the G.I. Bill after World War II forced the legislature to make FSU co-educational in 1946.

1960-70:

33 years after Princeton and Rutgers kicked off American college football, the Florida State College played three seasons of football in Tallahassee. From 1902-1904, FSC played wearing the colors purple and gold. The 1904 squad was crowned state champions after defeating the University of Florida at Lake City and Stetson.

Florida State’s arrival on the national map occurred during Bill Peterson’s 11 seasons as head coach. He came in 1960 when free substitution was still five years away in the game. He moved FSU boldly into the forefront of the passing game and led the Tribe to its biggest win yet when they topped No. 5 Kentucky 48-6 in 1964. He would post a 62-42-11 record in Tallahassee. Among a host of other things, Peterson developed the concept of the “hot receiver” in 1964 that remains in most offenses today.

1946:

1964:

1902-04:

Florida State University became a co-educational institution in 1946 when the first male students were enrolled, most of who were coming back from World War II. The transition from FSCW, which was regarded as one of the nation’s top colleges, to the new institution was remarkably quick and the development of an athletics program was almost as rapid.

1947:

Florida State University fielded a football team in 1947 coached by Ed Williamson. On October 18, 1947, Stetson kicked off to the FSU three yard line. Don Grant returned the kickoff to the FSU 32 and 7,165 fans at Centennial Field celebrated the first football game. The team finished 0-5 on the season.

1948:

Don Veller became FSU’s second football coach in 1948 and would coach the team until 1952. An outstanding player at Indiana University, Veller inherited 20 lettermen from the first year, but only 12 would letter in 1948. Veller would lose just two games over his first three years, including an undefeated 8-0 campaign in 1950. His attention to detail and high standard for himself and his program were instrumental in FSU getting such a solid start.

1950:

Florida State played its first football game in Doak S. Campbell Stadium on October 7, 1950 against Randolph Macon. 9,676 fans watched the Seminoles win 40-7, but the new home field was a story in itself. It was built on a former cow pasture and was completed in just five months. Tallahassean Rainey Cawthon was instrumental in selling over 1,000 season tickets at $50.00 each to fund the stadium and won a wheelbarrow ride down Monroe Street from contractor Red Coleman, who missed the completion date by two days. FSU players painted the stadium over the next summer for $1 per hour.

1953:

Tom Nugent became FSU’s third head coach in 1953 and would coach the Seminoles until leaving to become Maryland’s head coach in 1958. An innovator on a national level, Nugent developed the I-formation and the typewriter huddle used by most teams today. Among the players he coached were FSU greats Bobby Renn and Lee Corso as well as a talented tailback named Burt Reynolds whose career was cut short by injury.

1959:

Perry Moss lasted just one season as FSU head coach in 1959. He was hired

194

at a salary of $14,000 and left at the end of the year for triple that figure to coach the Montreal Alouttes. His staff that year included future head coaches Don James (Washington and Kent State), John Coatta (Wisconsin and Mankato State), Vince Gibson (Louisville, Kansas St. and Tulane), and Ken Shipp (NY Jets). His FSU team posted a 4-6-0 record.

Fred Biletnikoff became FSU’s first consensus All-American as a senior in 1964. He ranked fourth nationally with 57 receptions for 11 touchdowns which did not include his four touchdowns in the Gator Bowl win over Oklahoma. Biletnikoff put FSU on the map and he was married under the goalposts at Doak Campbell in 1965. He would go on to have a Hall of Fame career with the Oakland Raiders. The national award given to the top college receiver in the country is named after him.

1966:

Ron Seller’s began a career at Florida State that would prove one of the most prolific in college history. He gained an unheard of 3,979 yards over his career. His statistics were so impressive that most lasted as national records all the way until 1987. He caught passes in 30 consecutive games and averaged 119.9 yards per game. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. 1970: While integration of schools throughout the country came painfully slow, Florida State’s first African-American player took the field in 1970. J.T. Thomas was a starter from the first game he played at FSU and he backed a sterling college career with three Super Bowl rings earned as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1971:

Larry Jones coached the Seminoles from 1971-1973. An 0-11 campaign in his last year spelled the end for the coach. Among notable players during his era were outstanding wide receiver Barry Smith, quarterback Gary Huff and Alabama transfer Billy Sexton.

1974-75:

Darryl Mudra coached the Seminoles for two seasons and did his work from the pressbox on game day. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of Mudra’s brief tenure, that included the NCAA mandated scholarship limits for the first time, was the signing of an unheralded running back named Larry Key. Key would prove to be one of the finest running backs in Seminole history.

1976:

FSU president Stanley Marshall and athletic director John Bridgers set up a dinner meeting at an airport hotel in Tampa where West Virginia head coach Bobby Bowden was coaching an all-star game known as the American Bowl. They offered him a four-year contract worth $37,500 and he became the Seminoles’ eighth head coach on January 12. Bowden was interviewed for the job six years earlier when it went to Larry Jones, but FSU officials felt he lacked the experience.

2000:

Chris Weinke literally rewrote the FSU record book over his senior season and took home the second Heisman Trophy for a Seminole player when he won the award in December of 2000. He would finish his career with a record of 32-3 as a starter.

1979-80:

Florida State got its first taste of the real big-time in 1979 and 1980 going to back-to-back Orange Bowls against Oklahoma. FSU went undefeated (11-0) over the regular season in 1979, but lost 24-7 to the Sooners and finished sixth in the final AP poll. The Tribe took a 10-1 record into the Orange Bowl showdown the next year before losing a heartbreaker 18-17.

1980:

If one game can be singled out as the most important in the recent run of unprecedented success at Florida State, it would by the contest at Nebraska on September 7, 1980. FSU won in Lincoln by a 18-14 score that opened the eyes of the entire country. Nebraska fans shook of a mixture of shock and confusion to stand and give Bobby Bowden and his Seminoles a standing ovation as they left the field.

2002:

Bobby Bowden passed Bear Bryant into second place on the all-time coaching wins list.

2003:

Bobby Bowden defeats Wake Forest to become all-time winningest major college coach. The Seminoles won the ACC and earned the BCS bid.

2004:

Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium was dedicated on November 20, 2004 prior to the Florida game.

1981:

FSU takes on the following schools in order all on the road: Nebraska, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and LSU. FSU won at Ohio State, Notre Dame and LSU, but, more importantly, won fans coast to coast for its undaunted spirit.

2005:

Florida State wins the inaugural ACC Championship game by a score of 27-22 over Virginia Tech in Jacksonville. Willie Reid was named the game’s MVP. The conference title was FSU’s 12th since joining the league in 1992.

1981:

In 1981 a freshman tailback named Greg Allen was given the football in the middle of legendary Death Valley with a sea of LSU fans around him. He finished the day with a remarkable school record 202 yards that signaled the arrival of a superstar for the Seminoles. Later that year, he would rip Western Carolina for 322 rushing yards, which still stands as the best rushing game ever for a Seminole.

1986:

Deion Sanders spent a quiet first two years at Florida State before exploding on the national scene in a preseason press conference. He would become one of the most popular players ever in college football and one of the greatest athletes in FSU history. Florida State and college football would never be the same after Sanders’ career.

2006:

The College Football Hall of Fame announced that Bobby Bowden and Charlie Ward would be two of the year’s 15 inductees. Bowden and Joe Paterno, who was also inducted, are the first two active coaches to be honored.

2007:

1992:

On July 1, 1991, the Atlantic Coast Conference accepted Florida State University, as its ninth member and the first addition to the league since Georgia Tech joined in 1978. FSU had competed in the Metro Conference for all sports other than football, which had been an independent. FSU’s first ACC football game was a 48-21 win over Duke on September 7, 1992.

1993:

The Seminoles won their first national championship behind Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward in 1993. FSU played Nebraska in the national title game at the Orange Bowl and used freshman Scott Bentley’s late field goal to win 18-16.

Head Coach Bobby Bowden won his 300th career game at FSU with a 24-16 victory over Maryland.

2008:

The College Football Hall of Fame announced that Ron Simmons would be one of 15 inductees. The Rhodes Trust named junior Myron Rolle one of 32 U.S. Rhodes Scholars for 2009 - the first time in nearly 25 years it has awarded the scholarship to a prominent college football player. Senior kicker Graham Gano was named the Lou Groza Award winner, making him just the second Seminole to ever garner the honor.

1995:

A 31-26 come-from-behind win in the fourth quarter of the Orange Bowl against Notre Dame was FSU’s 11th consecutive bowl win. The streak set an NCAA record as was FSU’s 14-game unbeaten streak in bowls that was spoiled only by a 17-17 tie with Georgia in the 1984 Citrus Bowl.

1999:

Bobby Bowden used to keep an empty picture frame in his office, which was reserved for his first perfect season. He filled the frame with a 1999 team photo. The Seminoles finished the year 12-0 and topped off the record run with a 46-29 win over Virginia Tech for the national championship in the Sugar Bowl.

Seminole Tradition Dunn Named 2005 No. 1 Good Guy In Pro Sports And NFL Man Of The Year

Bowden, Ward And Simmons - College Football Hall Of Famers

Former Seminole tailback Warrick Dunn was named the 2005 No. 1 Good Guy in pro sports by The Sporting News. It was the second such award Dunn received as he was recognized by the NFL with the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2004 for his efforts to help those less fortunate. Dunn started a foundation to help single mothers soon after he entered the NFL. Through his “Homes for the Holidays” program, the Warrick Dunn Foundation has secured new homes for more than 70 single parents in Dunn’s hometown of Baton Rouge, La. as well as in Tampa, Fla., Atlanta, Ga. and in Tallahassee. The FSU Hall of Fame member joined Derrick Brooks, who was named The Sporting News 2000 Good Guy Award’s list, as the two Seminoles to receive the impressive honor.

Seminole head coach Bobby Bowden and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Charlie Ward were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006. The 2006 class included 13 All-America players and two legendary coaches. Florida State University was the only school with two inductees. The College Football Hall of Fame 2006 Class was inducted at the 49th Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and was officially enshrined at the Hall in South Bend, Ind. during ceremonies held in the summer of 2007. This past year a sixth Seminole made the hall when nose guard Ron Simmons was named a member of the most recent class of inductees.

He Has Won Awards And Now He Is An Award A national award named after Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden was initiated by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization in 2003. Named after the legendary coach, the National Bobby Bowden Award highlights the collegiate football player who best epitomizes the term student-athlete. The player selected is one of character, classroom excellence, athletic achievement and community involvement. The award combines the role modeling of the NFL Player of the Year Award, the Heisman for best collegiate player performance on the field and the CoSIDA Academic Award for classroom excellence. The award is presented annually during the week of the BCS Championship game. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes compiles the nominees each year.

Andrews Inducted Into Alabama Sports Hall Of Fame Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews was one of eight individuals inducted into the State of Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2006. A native of Daleville, Ala., Andrews played collegiately at the University of Alabama where he earned secondteam All-American honors as a wide receiver and defensive back. He was also an All-SEC choice in baseball. In 1964, he received the Hugo Friedman Award as the Tide’s best all-around athlete. He has been involved in five national championships (two as a player at Alabama in 1961 and 1964, as head coach at Livingston in 1971 and two at Florida State in 1993 and 1999). He was inducted with Joe Ciampi (basketball), Jim Davenport (baseball), Tim Flock (NASCAR), Mia Hamm (soccer), Lionel James (football), Buddy McClinton (football) and Bob Veale (baseball).

Seminoles In The College Football Hall Of Fame

MEDIA & UNIVERSITY

F O O T B A L L

Producing The Nfl’s Top Players In August of 2006 the Wall Street Journal published the findings of what the paper labeled “The Dow Jones CollegeFootball Success Index”. The study sought a different way to determine the success of college football programs by determining how many of a school’s alumni made it to the NFL and how effective those players were once they made it to the National Football League. Florida State not only finished No. 1 in their index but the Seminoles blew away the field. FSU finished ahead of its nearest competitor by 11 percent, causing the paper to exclaim, “No contest.”

Seminole Quarterback Pajcic Gives To The Warrick Dunn Foundation Florida State alumnus and former quarterback Gary Pajcic made a sizable contribution to the Warrick Dunn Foundation at the Seminoles’ annual spring game in 2006. Although separated by a couple of decades, both Pajcic and Warrick Dunn were star football players who later made it a priority to give back to their communities. The two former players met on Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium during the annual Garnet & Gold Game to help others in need. Pajcic, on behalf of FSU and his law firm Pajcic and Pajcic, presented Dunn with $100,000 for the Warrick Dunn Foundation — an effort to expand the “Homes for the Holidays” program that he started after being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1997. Pajcic passed away at the age of 58 just months after making his generous donation.

Seminole Tradition Afca Recognizes Florida State For Graduation Rate

Florida State Is Top Title Team

Florida State was among nine Atlantic Coast Conference schools to be recognized for graduating at least 70 percent of their football studentathletes according to the American Football Coaches Association annual Academic Achievement Awards data in 2006. SMU won top honors with a 100 percent graduation rate while Boston College and Duke were among six Division I institutions with a graduation rate of 90 percent or better. The ACC led all conferences with nine schools on the honors list, followed by the Big East and Big 12 with four.

ACC: . Florida State (12) Big East: Miami (8) Big 10.: Ohio State (7)

Fsu President Was A Football Star

Goal Posts Salute Peterson

Florida State president Dr. T.K. Wetherell starred on the football field from 1965-67. Wetherell was coached by Bobby Bowden as a wide receiver in his first two years. The president was part of two of the longest kickoff returns in school history. In 1965, Wetherell took a lateral from Bill Moreman and raced 100 yards for a touchdown against Kentucky. The two pulled off another touchdown of 94 yards in a 23-20 victory over Miami on Sept. 24, 1966. He is still tied for the school record for the longest kickoff return.

The Bill Peterson era as head football coach at FSU was a time of great offensive innovation and of many firsts for the upstart Seminole program, including the first Seminole coach to beat the Gators at Florida Field, coaching the program’s first All-American in Fred Biletnikoff and recruiting James Thomas, the first African American player to ever play football at FSU. A tradition of the Peterson era was to enter the field through the goal posts. As a tribute to the players and coaches of the Peterson era and their many firsts, “H” style goal posts were added to the field at Doak Campbell Stadium prior to the 2002 season and will forever be referred to as “Pete’s Posts.”

Six Feet Under Florida State’s sod cemetery holds chunks of the field from great Seminole road wins. See the complete list on page 7 of the media guide.

Doak Campbell Seats 82,300 The football home for the Seminoles since 1950, Doak Campbell Stadium was named after the popular Florida State president who was instrumental in the development of intercollegiate athletics at the new university. In order to help finance the stadium, a five-year season ticket was offered for $50 and FSU players helped paint the stadium at $1 per hour. The stadium was built at a cost of $250,000 in 1950. Today, Doak Campbell Stadium holds 82,300 fans after new structures were added in the north endzone and a second deck of the Varsity Club opened in the northwest corner just above the existing structure. A mirror image of that was then built in the northeast corner of the stadium, but contains skyboxes leased through the Seminole Boosters. The new additions brought the total to 94 private boxes within the stadium. Prior to the start of the 2008 season, the stadium received another upgrade as the north endzone scoreboard went from a video board that was 33 feet wide to a new 100-foot wide high-quality digital board. The south endzone, which did not have any scoreboard prior to 2008, was then given a 24-foot by 45-foot video board. Last season also marked the addition of 500 feet of ribbon board.

198

Florida State has won 12 ACC championships (ten outright and two shared) and is the national leader in conference championships among BCS conferences since joining the ACC in 1992.

Major College Football’s Second-Winningest Coach After passing Penn State’s Joe Paterno on the list for most wins in Division I-FBS history with a 48-24 victory over Wake Forest in 2003, FSU head coach Bobby Bowden is currently in second place in the category with a career record of 382-123-4. Just one victory behind Paterno, who is 383-172-3 in his career, Bowden will be looking to move back to the top of the list in 2009.

Brooks On Board Of Trustees Derrick Brooks established himself as one of the greatest players in school history during his career at Florida State. He also made a name for himself academically as a First-Team Academic All-American in 1994 and the winner of an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship. He has also established himself as one of the finest players in the NFL and led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in 2002. Brooks is currently in his sixth year as a member of Florida State’s Board of Trustees having been named to the board in 2003.

Seminole Tradition “Unconquered”

Dedicated on Oct.10, 2003, Fritz White’s bronze statue “Unconquered” was designed to capture the indomitable spirit of the Seminole people and those who have adopted that spirit as a symbol for their university. The massive structure, including its granite-covered pedestal base, stands approximately 31 feet in the air and depicts a spear-brandishing Seminole astride a rearing horse. At sunset the night before each home game, the spear is ignited and burns until sunrise on the next morning after the game. George Langford’s endowment of the project for up to $1 million helped make the statue a reality. Fifty-one artists were then considered before White eventually saw the statue dedicated 10 years after the concept was inspired by attorney and FSU graduate Stephen Reilly’s trip to South Bend, Ind. for an FSU football game.

Bowden In Bronze

Head coach Bobby Bowden is bigger than life in front of the Moore Athletics Center at Florida State as a bronze statue of his likeness was unveiled in a ceremony on Sept. 24, 2004. The statue is oneand-a-half life-size of Bowden and was sculpted by Tallahassee artist Stanley Proctor. The artist has also created a smaller piece of artwork, measuring just over 12 inches high, featuring Bowden and Doak Campbell Stadium.

No New Home For the Bowdens Bobby and Ann Bowden live in the same home that they bought when he took the FSU head coaching job in 1976, although they have made some additions. The Bowdens have even had the same phone number for the past 30 years. Bobby Bowden still maintains a grueling off-season schedule that includes a 24-stop Seminole Booster speaking and golfing tour. He is an early riser, generally waking before 4:30 a.m. He also reads and often watches film before coming into the office. He plays golf nearly every day from the end of spring practice until after the family vacation in July then does not touch the clubs again until the next spring.

Sealed Lockers The retirement (or permanent sealing) of lockers in the Florida State locker room began after Deion Sanders’ senior season in 1988. The criterion for locker retirement allows only the dressing area of a two-time consensus All-American and/or Heisman Trophy winners to be retired. Ron Simmons (1979-80), Sanders (1987-88), Marvin Jones (1991-92), Derrick Brooks (1993-94), Sebastian Janikowski (1998-99), Peter Warrick (1998-99) and Alex Barron (2003-04) have had their lockers sealed as two-time consensus All-Americans while Heisman Trophy winners Charlie Ward (1993) and Chris Weinke (2000) have had their lockers forever retired. The lockers are encased in glass with the player’s final home uniform and gear intact right down to the sweat bands.

Sportsmanship Statue Between Gates B and C of Doak Campbell Stadium stands the one ton, 15-foot tall Sportsmanship Statue given in honor of Pappy Strum by his daughter Margaret Strum Allesee, who is an FSU graduate and former Seminole cheerleader. The enduring symbol of the most important aspect of athletic competition was sculpted by FSU alumnus and accomplished artist Edward Jonas.

Could Have Had Bowden in 1970 Bobby Bowden signed his first contract as head coach at FSU on January 12, 1976 with a four-year deal that called for a salary of $37,500 per season. Many did not know, however, that Bowden actually interviewed for the FSU job in 1970. It went to University of Tennessee assistant Larry Jones, who was 15-19 over three seasons before he was succeeded by Darrell Mudra in 1974.

Scholarships In ’51 It was not until 1951 that Florida State began to grant athletic scholarships and the move put added pressure on the program to win. FSU left the Dixie Conference and petitioned for membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference but were rebuffed. Interestingly, it was the University of Florida that sponsored FSU for admission to the SEC.

Seminoles First To Score Two The late Vic Prinzi, who is a member of the Florida State Hall of Fame and was the color commentator for the radio network until his death in 1997, was the first college player ever to score a twopoint conversion. On Sept. 13, 1958, the Seminoles took the season-opening drive of the Tennessee Tech game in for a touchdown and Prinzi, playing quarterback, ran in the two-point conversion to beat the other national games by just minutes.

Football Since 1902 Actually Florida State College actually played football during the 1902-1904 school years and played it well. The first game in 1902 was a 5-0 win over South Georgia Military on Nov. 21 when touchdowns were worth five points. The NCAA nor the governing body at the time recognizes the early games for FSC, although the school won the state championship in 1904. The 1904 season included a 23-0 win over Florida in Lake City, Fla. The school then became the Florida State College for Women and would remain one of the nation’s top all-female institutions until the large number of returning veterans from World War II triggered the state system to open Florida State University to men in 1946. The school resumed football in 1947, taking on Stetson in its first game.

Seminole Tradition Three Different Helmets

History of the Garnet and Gold

For one season in 1962 the Florida State Seminoles took the field with three different helmets. Coach Bill Peterson’s three-team system featured the two-way Chiefs, the defensive Renegades and the offensive Warriors with each group wearing a different helmet. By 1963 the Seminoles were back to just one helmet, an all-gold version which once again lasted just one season as the word “State” was added in 1964.

Florida State’s school colors of garnet and gold date back to the Florida State College championship football teams of 1904 and 1905. In those championship seasons, FSC donned purple and gold uniforms. When Florida State College became Florida Female College in 1905, the football team was forced to attend the University of Florida. The following year the FFC student body selected crimson as the official school color of 1905. The administration in 1905 took crimson and combined it with the recognizable purple of the championship football teams to achieve the color garnet. The now-famous garnet and gold colors were first used on an FSU uniform in a 14-6 loss to Stetson on Oct. 18, 1947.

Tomahawks Can Be Won and Lost Florida State’s coaching staff and academic staff award tomahawks to individual players for great plays or contributions on the field and in the classroom. Players may get a tomahawk for a crucial play, a touchdown, a saving tackle or various other achievements on the field. In 1997 the Seminoles began receiving tomahawks for outstanding academic achievements as well. They look identical except the word academics runs down the handle of the tomahawk. What many fans don’t know is that Florida State players can actually lose tomahawks as well. Poor performance on the field or in the classroom can cause a player to be stripped of the coveted decals.

14 National Championships Florida State’s women’s programs were brought to national prominence in the early 1980s when the Seminoles earned five national championships in four sports within a four-year period. The golf program earned the AIAW championship in 1981 while the softball team had back-to-back AIAW titles in 1981 and 1982. The women’s track and field program ran away with the 1984 NCAA Outdoor and 1985 NCAA Indoor Championships. Florida State’s other national titles include men’s gymnastics in 1950-51 and again in 1951-52. The men’s volleyball team won the national championship in 1955 and 1957, while football claimed a championship in 1993 and 1999. Most recently, the men’s track and field team took home the 2006, 2007 and 2008 national outdoor title and nearly pulled off a fourpeat by finishing second in the nation in 2009.

FSU Fight Song While the “war chant” has become familiar at FSU games, the Florida State fight song still remains the definitive sound of Seminole sports. FSU’s band became the Marching Chiefs in 1950 and with that came the fight song. Tommy Wright, a member of the faculty in the School of Music, was perturbed that the Seminoles had been using “On Wisconsin” and the “Notre Dame Victory March” so he introduced the song in the Sewanee game, setting to music a poem by FSU Alumni Doug Alley.

Osceola & Renegade Perhaps the most spectacular tradition in all of college football occurs in Doak Campbell Stadium when Osceola charges down the field riding an Appaloosa horse named Renegade and plants a flaming spear at midfield to begin every home game. The tradition was born on Sept. 16, 1978 against Oklahoma State when a student led the team from the tunnel riding a horse. Since the beginning of the FSU tradition, three different horses and 10 different riders have actually appeared at a game. However, there have been a total of 16 horses trained in the Renegade program. The original Osceola and Renegade were Jim Kidder and Reo. In 2003, local businessman Bill Durham, who had trained the riders and horses for 20 years, passed the honor and responsibility to his son Allen, who was a former rider in the 1990s. The clothing and rigging that Osceola and Renegade use were designed and approved by the Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida.

War Chant Florida State’s “war chant” appears to have begun with a random occurrence that took place during a 1984 game against Auburn. In the 1960s, the Marching Chiefs would chant the melody of a popular FSU cheer. In a sense, that chant was the long version of FSU’s current “war chant.” During a thrilling game with Auburn in 1984, the Marching Chiefs began to perform the dormant melody. Some students behind the band joined in and continued the “war chant” portion after the band had ceased. Most agree the chant came from the fraternity section, but many spirited Seminole fans added the hand motion to symbolize the brandishing of a tomahawk. The chant continued among the student body during the 1985 season, and by the 1986 season, it was a stadium-wide phenomenon. Of course, the Marching Chiefs refined the chant, plus put their own special brand of accompaniment to the “war chant,” for the sound we hear today. Atlanta Braves fans took up their version of the song and chant when former FSU star Deion Sanders came to the plate as an outfielder. The Kansas City Chiefs first heard it when the Northwest Missouri State band, directed by 1969 FSU graduate Al Sergel, performed the chant while the players were warming up for a game against San Diego.

Excerpt from GAME TIME Magazine: October, 2007

20 Years of “Sunshine” With Paul and Keith By: Rob Wilson, Assistant Athletics Director

Let’s roll back the calendar 20 years ago and remember… The year is 1988… Deion Sanders is a senior along with Pat Tomberlin, Steve Gabbard, Chip Ferguson and Dayne Williams among others. The junior class features Odell Haggins, Sammie Smith, LeRoy Butler, Terry Anthony, Dexter Carter and Peter Tom Willis. Lawrence Dawsey is a sophomore and the Fab Four is just good – one year away from fabulous.

TV’s were not so flat panel that you could hang them on your wall 20 years ago. In fact, they weren’t even flat at all. But a television venture began in 1988 that has meant a great deal to Florida State University and reshaped the way people view televised sports in our state. Sunshine Network launched in 1988 with ambitious plans to serve the sports hungry state of Florida with cable television access to the very best that the Sunshine State (get it?) had to offer. Some critics predicted the concept was doomed to failure. Looking for a sports program to anchor the network in its infancy, Sunshine knocked first on Florida State’s door in hopes that the Seminoles would agree to be that partner in the innovative effort. Thanks to great foresight by both the FSU administration and the good folks at Sunshine – now Sun Sports and FOX Sports Florida – we have enjoyed 20 years of FSU sports on cable homes throughout Florida and the nation. Paul Kennedy and Keith Jones

Launched in March 1988, Sun Sports (formerly known as Sunshine Network), a Fox owned and managed regional sports network, currently reaches over six million cable and satellite homes throughout the state of Florida and via satellite across the United States. FOX Sports Florida (launched in 1997 as SportsChannel Florida), another Fox owned and managed network, also serves the state of Florida via cable and satellite and is also available in over five million homes. While they are unique and separate channels, both Sun Sports and FOX Sports Florida are managed from headquarters in Florida. In addition, Sun Sports airs and produces numerous FSU games/programs, including its own production of every FSU regular season football game, which replay statewide on Sun Sports on Sunday evenings during “Prime Time ‘Noles,” and again on Monday afternoon. “The Bobby Bowden Show” can be seen statewide Sunday afternoons. Weekly highlights of FSU athletics air Saturdays with “Seminole Sports Magazine.”

Adding to the unique nature of the relationship is that for the entire 20 years, the announcers have remained the same giving FSU football on Sun Sports a uniquely rich and familiar feel. The 2007 season is the 20th for broadcast partners Paul Kennedy and Keith Jones. Now the Sports Director for Sun Sports & FOX Sports Florida and serves as one of the Fox-owned regional sports networks’ primary hosts and play-byplay announcers, Kennedy is a consummate professional with Sun Sports, moving with ease and grace from professional hockey to baseball to football and everywhere in between. His smooth style and genuine enthusiasm for his work shows every time he is on camera. Few people appear to love their work as much as Kennedy does, but in that mountain of television he manages to bring the viewers every year, it’s clear that his work with the Seminoles is special. While Kennedy was a fresh face who has become synonymous with FSU athletics, his 20-year partner is a Seminole all the way. Keith Jones roamed the FSU secondary from his safety position from 1978-80 playing on some of the finest defenses in the history of FSU football. He jokes that Warrick Dunn selected jersey No. 28 to emulate him, but we all know better. KJ, as he is known within FSU circles, has dissected the action of nearly 250 FSU football games and has become one of the most respected color commentators around. His broadcasting talents made him an easy pick as the radio color analyst for Seminole men’s basketball games. Twenty years ago the Sunshine Network cable venture seemed risky, but after two decades FSU’s partnership with the state’s premier broadcasting network has proven to be a stroke of genius – for both parties.

CREDENTIAL REQUESTS

All requests for working press, radio, television, photography or scouting credentials should be directed to Sports Information Director Tina Dechausay no later than four days prior to the game. Requests for season credentials should be made at least two weeks prior to the first game. Space for the working press, radio and television is allocated by the FSU Sports Information Office.

FOOTBALL GAMEDAY

All media, with the exception of the live network telecast crew, will work from the 9th level of the press box. Media can access the press box only through the designated elevator in the northwest tower of the University Center. After parking, media should proceed down Stadium Drive and move towards Gate B in the northwest corner of the end zone. To enter the press box, Do not enter the stadium but proceed to the right and enter through the external doors marked “Press Entrance.”

RADIO-TV

Florida State will host network television and both home and visiting radio in booths in the press box. Network television (or the network broadcasting live) will be working from a mid-field booth on the 8th Level (one below working press). Both home and visiting radio will broadcast from booths at the south end of the 9th level.

PHOTOGRAPHERS

Florida State reserves the right to admit only those photographers deemed to be on the premises for legitimate media purposes. All photographers working FSU games should be prepared to show a media ID card and equipment designed to photograph major college football. Florida State uses a double photo line system on its sidelines. Only those photographers actually shooting the game will be allowed on the “front” line. These shooters will be given photo armbands upon check-in to allow them front line access. All other photo personnel will be required to stay behind a second line as not to obstruct the view of the shooters. This would include grips, runners and sideline reporters. No media personnel are allowed in the team area of the sidelines at any time during a game. Sideline passes for local television will be severely curtailed for televised games and each station will be restricted to two passes. Still photographers may have access to the sidelines only. Those holding a photography credential should report to the Press Box where they will be issued an armband, rosters and a pre-game meal. The only access to the field is through the gate at the northwest corner of the stadium near Gate A.

Florida’s Seminoles By Barry Ray FSU Office of News and Public Affairs

The Unconquered People

As a people, few have prevailed ovemore trying circumstances than the Seminole Indians of Florida. Over the course of almost two centuries, Florida’s Seminoles endured three wars with the U.S. government, resisted numerous efforts to relocate them to federal reservations in the West, and ultimately made their home in one of the world’s most inhospitable environments, the Florida Everglades. That they have not only survived, but thrived — all while maintaining their fierce independence and rich culture — is a tribute to their courage and perseverance. This is their story. Long before European explorers ever visited the area now known as Florida, native peoples had been living here for thousands of years. In fact, as many as 100,000 members of four Indian nations — the Apalachee, the Tequesta, the Timucua and the Calusa — were living in highly organized settlements throughout the peninsula when the Spanish first arrived in 1513. The native peoples’ lack of resistance to smallpox, yellow fever and other “European” diseases, as well as later slaving raids from the English colonies of Georgia and South Carolina, eventually decimated their numbers. By the mid-18th century, the Indian nations of Florida had ceased to exist. In their place, groups of Indians from a confederation of tribes collectively referred to as the Lower Creeks began moving into Florida from Alabama and Georgia. They had been pushed out of their former homes by the encroachment of white settlers, as well as by conflicts with other tribes. It was around this time that the name “Seminoles” first appeared; there are several possible explanations as to its origins. When the first English speakers began arriving in Florida in 1763, they found many Creeks living as yat’siminoli, or “free people,” across the northern part of the Florida peninsula. (“Yat’siminoli” was a term used in the Mikisúkî, or Miccosukee, language, which still is spoken today.) The settlers may have simply ignored the Indians’ separate tribal affiliations and called them all Seminolies, or Seminoles. Others believe that the Seminole name comes from the Spanish word cimarron, meaning “wild men” or “unconquered.” The Indians may have been given this name because they had escaped from slavery in the English-controlled colonies to the north. With the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1784, Englishspeaking settlers began moving southward in ever greater numbers, buying or seizing land from the native inhabitants. By 1813, some of the Creek tribes in Alabama rose up against the white settlers and the Indian tribes that supported them. This conflict, known as the Creek War of 1813-14, proved disastrous to all of the tribes. U.S. troops led by Gen. Andrew Jackson crushed the uprising and forced a treaty on the Creeks that took more than 2 million acres of land from them. Several thousand Creek warriors and their families migrated south into Spanish Florida, where they and the Seminoles increased their resistance to white settlement. In 1814, such conflicts escalated into the first of three Seminole wars. Over the next four years, Jackson illegally entered Spanish Florida numerous times to burn Seminole villages and kill resistance leaders. With the end of the First Seminole War in 1818, many Indians moved further into Florida. By 1820, the year before Spanish Florida became a U.S. territory, there were at least 5,000 Seminoles, Creeks and Mikisúkî people living here. However, a series of federal treaties failed to protect their rights and, in 1835, war broke out again. The Second Seminole War (1835-42) proved to be the longest, most costly, and the last of the U.S. wars of Indian removal fought

east of the Mississippi River. It also would be the first guerilla-style war faced by U.S. troops. Led by the fierce warrior Osceola, the Seminoles were aided by runaway slaves, who received protection from their allies in return for a portion of the agricultural staples that they grew. These so-called “Black Seminoles” also had a reputation as fierce fighters, and were equally determined to preserve their freedom. The fighting ended in a stalemate in 1842, and an uneasy peace lasted for 14 years. In 1856, however, Seminole leader Billy Bowlegs and his followers were provoked by U.S. soldiers. They retaliated, and the ensuing series of skirmishes became known as the Third Seminole War (1856-58). When U.S. troops once more withdrew — again with no treaty or victory — the Seminole Wars finally ended. All told, more than 3,000 Seminoles had been forcibly removed from Florida to the Western territories of Arkansas and Oklahoma. As few as 300 remained in Florida, and they took refuge within the dense swamps of the Everglades. However, their place in history was assured as the only American Indian tribe never to have signed a peace treaty with the U.S. government. From the 1920s onward, as the development boom exploded in South Florida, the Seminoles lost more and more of their hunting lands to tourists and settlers. They became agricultural workers in the vegetable fields of South Florida, and also ran tourist attractions, wearing their colorful patchwork clothing, producing souvenirs and wrestling alligators. On Aug. 21, 1957, the Seminole Tribe of Florida was established through a majority vote of Florida’s Seminole Indians. This vote gave the Seminoles federal recognition as a self-governing tribe with a constitutional form of government. The Seminole Tribe of Florida now has almost 3,000 members living on five reservations across the peninsula at Hollywood, Big Cypress, Brighton, Immokalee and Tampa. The Seminoles work hard to be economically independent. Tourism and gaming profits pay for infrastructure and schools on their reservations, while citrus groves, cattle agriculture, aircraft production, tobacco sales, land leases and aquaculture are other significant sources of revenue. Having persevered through two centuries of adversity, the Seminole Indians of Florida have earned the right to call themselves “the unconquered people.” Their indomitable spirit is one that Florida State University proudly seeks to emulate in all of its endeavors.

The Symbol: Seminoles Florida State would play two games in 1947 before students demanded the school acquire a symbol. While details conflict, most believe the account of a poll of the student body is accurate. The Florida Flambeau reported that Seminoles had won by 110 votes over Statesmen. The rest of the top contenders (in order) were Rebels, Tarpons, Fighting Warriors and Crackers. In the 1950s, a pair of students dressed in Native American costumes and joined the cheerleaders on the field which eventually evolved into the majestic symbol of Osceola and Renegade that FSU now enjoys. Today, the Seminole Indian Tribe participates in many campus activities. Florida State University is proud of its longstanding cooperative relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The Seminole people have suffered many hardships and injustices, but they have remained brave, dignified and proud. The Seminoles are unconquered. They symbolize what we hope will be the traits of all of our graduates, including our student-athletes.
