FLORIDA sTATE FOOTBALL WHAT 2 WATCH 4 1 – Number of field goals needed by Dustin Hopkins to become the FBS alltime leader in career field goals. Hopkins is tied with Georgia’s Billy Bennett at 87. 3 – Quarterback EJ Manuel is 3-0 as a starter in bowl games for the Seminoles. Manuel has led FSU to wins in the 2010 Gator Bowl, 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl and 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. 5 – Florida State is looking for its fifth consecutive bowl win. FSU currently is tied with rival Florida for the most consecutive wins (4) heading into the 2012 bowl season. 10 – Dustin Hopkins needs just 10 points to move into second place all-time in FBS overall scoring. At 459 career points, Hopkins is just behind Miami (Ohio) running back Travis Prentice (468) and Wisconsin running back Montee Ball (494). 11 – Florida State’s offense has put up 6,057 yards in 2012 and are just 11 yards away from putting up thirdmost yards in school history. The 2000 (6,588), 1993 (6,576) and 1995 teams (6,067) are currently ahead. 12 – FSU had a league best 12 Seminoles earn All-ACC honors. Five Seminole defenders - S Lamarcus Joyner, K Dustin Hopkins, CB Xavier Rhodes, DE Cornellius Carradine and DE Bjoern Werner earned first team honors. Seven Seminoles earned second team honors and four more registered honorable mention honors. 17 – FSU James Wilder, Jr. needs just 17 rushing yards in the Orange Bowl to join Chris Thompson and Devonta Freeman as the first trio of 600-yard rushers for the Seminoles since 1984. 39– Senior wide receiver Rodney Smith is looking to make it 39 straight games with a catch which will break his tie with former great E.G. Green. Both have a reception in 38 straight games.
NOTING THE NOLES • Florida State (No. 13 AP/No. 12 USA Today Coaches/No. 12 BCS) and Northern Illinois (No. 16 AP/No. 16 USA Today Coaches/No. 15 BCS) will face off for the first time on Tuesday, Jan. 1 at 8:30 p.m. ET at the Discover Orange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Fla. • The Huskies of the Mid-American Conference will mark the sixth different opponent Florida State faces at the Orange Bowl. The MAC is also the fourth different conference the Seminoles have faced in the Orange Bowl, which includes the Big Eight (now the Big 12), the BIG EAST and the Big Ten. • Florida State captured its 13th ACC Championship by defeating Georgia Tech, 21-15, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The victory gave the Seminoles a berth in the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl. • The Seminoles improved to 2-1 all-time in the ACC Championship game. FSU defeated Virginia Tech, 27-22, in the inaugural ACC title game in 2005 in Jacksonville and fell to the Hokies, 44-33, in the 2010 game in Charlotte. • The Seminoles will be making their ninth appearance ever in the Orange Bowl. The Seminoles hold a 3-5 all-time record in the game. This is also FSU’s seventh BCS Bowl. The Noles are 1-5 all-time in BCS Bowls since playing in the first-ever BCS National Championship Game (1999 Fiesta Bowl). The last BCS Bowl Florida State competed in was the 2006 Orange Bowl, where the Noles lost to Penn State, 26-23 (3 OT). • Senior Quarterback EJ Manuel will look to become just the second quarterback to capture four consecutive bowl victories, joining former West Virginia star Pat White (2005-08). Manuel and Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones both are 3-0 in bowl games. Manuel has led FSU to wins in the 2009 Gator Bowl, 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl and the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. He was named 2009 Gator Bowl MVP in a 33-21 win over West Virginia and came off the bench in the second quarter to lead the Noles past South Carolina, 26-17, in the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Last season, Manuel captained the Noles to an 18-14 win over Notre Dame in the Champs Bowl. It’s the last time the No. 1-ranked Fighting Irish has lost. • Sophomore running back James Wilder, Jr., was named MVP of the ACC Championship game. He led an FSU rushing unit that tallied 194 yards on the ground to gain more yards than Georgia Tech’s rushing offense (183 yards), which ranks third nationally. Wilder had 69 yards on 10 carries and scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. It was Wilder’s fourth two-score game of the season. He became just the eighth Seminole ever to rush for 10 or more touchdowns in a season. • Senior kicker Dustin Hopkins added to his incredible list of career accomplishments by kicking three extra points versus the Yellow Jackets. Those three points gave him 133 points this season, setting a new ACC record. The previous mark was 132, set by former Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams in 2009. Hopkins already claimed the NCAA FBS all-time kick scorer record to go along with all-time career scorer in ACC and FSU history. He is tied for the NCAA FBS career field goal mark. • Senior wideout Rodney Smith made it 38 consecutive games with a catch against Georgia Tech which ties the FSU school record held by E.G. Green (1994-97). • Since 2010, only nine DI programs have more total wins than Fisher’s Seminoles. FSU leads the ACC for most wins over the period. Only two teams from the SEC have compiled more wins over the same stretch (Alabama and LSU). • FSU is the only team in the country to rank in the top 25 in 10 statistical categories nationally. The FSU defense ranks second nationally in total defense (253.77) while ranking in the top 10 in five statistical categories: rushing defense (93.00 ypg, 5th), scoring defense (15.08 ppg, 7th), pass defense (160.77, 3rd) and pass efficiency defense (97.37, 3rd). The ‘Noles’ offense caps the regular season at No. 14 in scoring offense (39.92 ppg), No. 14 in passing efficiency (155.26) and No. 17 in kickoff returns (24.65 ypr). FSU also ranks No. 23 in total offense (466.69 ypg), No. 7 in punt return average (14.49 ypr) and No. 25 in rushing offense (203.38 ypg). • Eight different FSU players have at least 10 catches on the season while another six Seminoles have at least 20 catches. Rashad Greene’s 52 catches is tops on the team followed by Rodney Smith (35), Kelvin Benjamin (29), Kenny Shaw (27), Greg Dent (24) and Chris Thompson (21). • Rashad Greene has now scored twice on punt returns, five times receiving and once rushing in 2012. He becomes the first Seminole to score three different ways in a season since Peter Warrick in 1999. • The Seminole defense recorded two more three-and-outs against Georgia Tech to push its nation-leading total to 80 three-and-out series. Florida State has now forced a three-and-out in 80 of its 172 series played, ranking first in the nation with a 46.5 percentage. • Bjoern Werner and Tank Carradine rank 1-2 in the ACC in sacks. Carradine ended his season leading the team in total tackles (80) after matching a career-high with 11 tackles. Carradine has 13.0 tackles for loss, 11.0 sacks and nine quarterback hurries. Of Werner’s 40 tackles on the season, 18.0 of those are tackles for loss including 13.0 sacks. Werner has seven pass break-ups and five quarterback hurries. He picked up 3.5 sacks against Florida and was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week. • The best regular season performance by a Florida State football team since 2003 didn’t go unnoticed as a leagueleading 12 Seminoles were named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference football team on Monday. FSU placed five players on the first team and seven players on the second team. Four Noles garnered Honorable Mention honors.
this is fsu football • FSU extended the nation’s longest active streak to 31 consecutive bowl appearances, which ranks second all-time among FBS programs. • The ‘Noles are 25-14-2 in 41 bowl appearances and their 25* wins rank fifth all-time while the .634 winning percentage is the sixth-best nationally for any school with 15 or more bowl appearances. • The Seminoles have won two national championships (1993, 1999). • The ‘Noles hold the nation’s longest active streak of consecutive winning seasons at 35, which ranks seventh all-time. • Florida State, in its 66th season of football, boasts an all-time record of 483-237-17*. That’s good for a .667 winning percentage which ranks 12th in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history. * Totals have been adjusted by the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

Since making the switch to the Football Bowl Subdivision, NIU is 4-3 in major college bowl games and has won in its last two appearances. In last season’s GoDaddy.com Bowl against Arkansas State, the Huskies won 38-20.

MIAMI, Fla. (Jan. 1, 1980) – Julius Caesar Watts and Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims each rushed for more than 100 yards, and the Sooner defense held Florida State to 182 total yards as Oklahoma defeated Florida State 24-7 in the 46th Orange Bowl.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (Jan. 3, 2001) – Oklahoma used its trademark smothering defense to shut down Florida State to give No.1 ranked Oklahoma a startling 13-2 victory in the Orange Bowl and it’s first national title in 15 years. Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke completed 25-of-51 passes for 274 yards,but had two interceptions and the offense obviously missed top receiver Snoop Minnis, who was ineligible for the game.
1981 Orange Bowl OKLAHOMA......................................... 18 FLORIDA STATE.................................17 MIAMI, Fla. (Jan. 1, 1981) – Oklahoma was not supposed to be able to pass. But that’s what it took for the Sooners to beat Florida State in the 1981 Orange Bowl. With time running out and the Seminoles leading 17-10,J.C.Watts — a swift quarterback who led a notorious Oklahoma running game — drilled an 11-yard touchdown pass to split end Steve Rhodes with 1:27 remaining.
1993 Orange Bowl FLORIDA STATE.................................27 NEBRASKA.......................................... 14 MIAMI, Fla. (Jan. 1, 1993) – The Orange Bowl provided the perfect setting for a reunion. Afterall, the bowl itself was one Florida State had not visited since 1981, and FSU had never won the game. In addition, the matchup between Big Eight champ Nebraska and Florida State provided a chance for the two teams to get reacquainted.

NOTING THE NOLES: OFFENSE PRODUCTION Ranks among FSU’s BEST
Florida State is enjoying one of its finest offensive seasons in the last 20 years, which includes both the 1993 and 1999 national championship teams… • The Seminoles currently rank 23rd nationally in total offense (466.69 ypg), having eclipsed 6,000 yards for just the fourth time since 1993. FSU has amassed 6,057 total yards, which trails only the 2000 (6,588), 1993 (6,576) and 1995 (6,067) squads; • FSU’s offense shares the national lead among 124 FBS programs, averaging 7.01 yards per play, which is tied with Oklahoma State and incrementally better than Baylor (7.00). Over the past 20 seasons only the 2000 Seminoles had a better per-play season average (7.1), while the 1993 team averaged 7.0 yards; • With a 39.9 ppg scoring average, Florida State ranks 14th nationally in scoring offense. That’s the highest per game point production for a Seminole squad since 2000 and the fourth-highest since 1993. The ’95 ‘Noles top that chart after averaging 48.4 ppg, followed by the ’93 (43.2) and 2000 (42.4) squads.

MY HOW THEY’VE GROWN
When FSU offensive line coach Rick Trickett arrived in 2007 he was forced to field a starting unit that was void of depth and woefully undersized. Six seasons later, Trickett boasts the biggest and possibly deepest offensive line segment in Seminole history. Here’s a look at weights of the opening day starters and how they have grown over that span. Season LT LG C RG RT Avg.

offense back in 600 club
For a single-season tying fourth time this season and just the sixth time since the 2000 season, Florida State’s offense eclipsed the 600-yard mark against Boston College. The Seminoles piled up 649 total yards against the Eagles in the 51-7 victory. Only the 1995 Seminoles have eclipsed 600 yards four times in one season. In addition to posting the 10th-best total offense mark in school history against BC, the 2012 ‘Noles have also gone over 600 yards against Clemson (667), Wake Forest (612) and Murray State (606). FSU has produced 29 600-yard games in its 66-year football history, including five in the last two seasons. Here are the top 10 total offense games in FSU history: Yards Opponent Year 858 vs. Maryland 1992 797 vs. Duke* 1995 771 vs. Clemson 2000 748 vs. Wake Forest 1995 745 vs. NC State 1995 731 at Maryland 1994 706 vs. East Carolina 1982 667 vs. Clemson 2012 649 vs. Boston College 2012 647 vs. Chas.

More on 600-yard games
Here are a few additional notes regarding FSU’s 600-yard games: • FSU’s 667-yard performance against Clemson is its highest output since rolling up 771 against the Tigers in 2000. It ranks as the eighth-most productive performance in school history; • Of the 29 games of 600 yards or more in program history, FSU has eclipsed 700 yards seven times; • The single-game FSU school record for total offense is 858 yards, set at home against Maryland during a 69-21 victory in 1992; • FSU has rolled up 600 or more yards 15 times against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents as a conference member; • Only six of the 29 600-yard performances have come against Football Championship Subdivision (or Div. I-AA) opponents; • The 2000 FSU team, which played for the national championship, was the last to record three 600-yard games in a season; • From 1992-2000 the Seminoles hit or exceeded the mark 12 times – all against ACC opponents; • Only seven of FSU’s 600-yard performances have come outside of Doak Campbell Stadium, including the 1995 game against Duke in Orlando; • Florida State didn’t post its first 600-yard game of total offense until 1968, when it went for 622 against Wake Forest. •
seminoles rushing depth shows
Florida State is one of only five Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the country that has had four or more players rush for 100 yards or more this season, which is a testament to both the Seminoles’ depth of playmakers and continued improvement of the offensive line: No. School Athletes (position) 5 Army Trent Steelman (QB), Terry Baggett (RB), Raymond Maples (RB), Larry Dixon (FB), Hayden Tippett (FB) 4 Florida State EJ Manuel (QB), Chris Thompson (TB), Devonta Freeman (TB), James Wilder, Jr. (TB) 4 Georgia Tech Tevin Washington (QB), Orwin Smith (RB), Zach Laskey (RB), Vad Lee (QB) 4 Navy Trey Miller (QB), Keenan Reynolds (QB), Noah Copeland (FB), Gee Gee Greene (SB) 4 Nebraska Taylor Martinez (QB), Ameer Abdullah (RB), Rex Burkhead (RB), Imani Cross (RB) 4 Oregon Kenjon Barner (RB), De’Anthony Thomas (RB), Byron Marshall (RB), Marcus Mariota (QB 4 Rice Taylor McHargue (QB), Turner Petersen (RB), Charles Ross (RB), Luke Turner (RB)

NOTING THE NOLES: OFFENSE IN a rush to get better
Florida State has renewed its emphasis on the running game in 2012 with dramatic results. The Seminoles rank 25th nationally and second in the ACC in rushing offense at 203.38 yards per game. It is one of several areas where the team has made significant strides... • FSU ranks No. 6 among all FBS schools by averaging 5.55 yards per carry (4762,639), trailing the school’s single-season record average 5.83 yards per carry (1995); • With 2,639 rushing yards, the 2012 ‘Noles have blown past last season’s total of 1,458; • The Seminoles are tied for 8th nationally with 37 rushing touchdowns, establishing a new FSU single-season record for total rushing touchdowns; • The Seminoles are averaging 2.85 rushing touchdowns per game, which trails the school record per-game pace of 3.18, set by the 1995 team which tallied 35 rushing touchdowns and featured Warrick Dunn, Pooh Bear Williams and Rock Preston.
NOt wasting Time
The Florida State offense has been both quick and efficient when it comes to scoring drives... • Of the 60 offensive touchdowns, 30 have come on drives of two minutes or less and 13 of those have not required a full minute to run off the clock; • The ‘Noles added two quick TD drives - 1:04 and 1:49 - to take a third quarter lead against Florida; • FSU matched its shortest TD drive of the season at Maryland on Nick O’Leary’s 10yard pass reception from EJ Manuel. The one-play drive took just :04 off the clock; • The longest of FSU’s three TD drives at Virginia Tech took just 1:58 off the clock; • Three of FSU’s five offensive TD’s against Duke came on drives of less than one minute; • The ‘Noles have authored four, one-play and five, two-play touchdown drives on offense; • FSU’s longest scoring drive based on plays came against Wake Forest (13-80-5:34), while a 12-play, 81-yard mark against USF took a season-high 6:20 off the clock, culminating with a field goal. • The ‘Noles opened the Boston College game with a six-play, 99-yard drive TD drive
WHAT A SEASON FOR CT Florida State senior tailback Chris Thompson suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the second quarter of the Miami game. Thompson was in the midst of a sensational senior campaign. He earned second team All-ACC honors and was named co-winner of the ACC’s Brian Piccolo Award given to the “most courageous” player in the conference. Below are some notes on the Noles’ leading rusher in 2012.
WE’LL TAKE THOMPSON FOR 100
Thompson rushed for 141 yards at NC State, marking the third time this season he has eclipsed the century mark... • With six career 100-yard rushing games,Thompson is tied for ninth in FSU history for 100-yard rushing performances, joining Leon Washington, Sam Platt, Mark Lyles and Jermaine Smith; • Thompson has a team-leading 687 rushing yards on 91 carries and was on pace to become FSU’s first 1,000-yard rusher since all-time rushing leader Warrick Dunn in 1996 (1,180); • Thompson’s 7.54 yards per carry, is ahead of Dunn’s single-season school record pace of 7.48, established in 1995.
CT Chased greatness in 2012
Thompson authored one of the most compelling stories in Seminole history when he ran for 197 yards on nine carries in FSU’s 52-0 shutout win over Wake Forest. In 2011, Thompson suffered two broken vertebrae in his back against the Demon Deacons, which threatened to end his career. With TD runs of 74 and 80 yards, the Greenville, Fla., native showed he was clearly back to 2010 form, when he led the ‘Noles in rushing... • He followed up his breakout Wake Forest game with 103 rushing yards on 15 carries in FSU’s 49-37 win over then-No. 10 Clemson; • His 141 yards on 25 carries - matching his career high in totes - at NC State was the second-highest total by an FSU back in 33 meetings with the Wolfpack; • After eight games, Thompson amassed 1,735 career rushing yards on 277 carries; • With 47 yards on seven carries at Miami, Thompson moved into 15th place on FSU’s all-time rushing list, passing Tom Bailey; • His 6.26 career yards per carry average ranks third all-time among Seminoles with at least 200 carries. Only Dunn (6.88) and Roosevelt Snipes (6.46) boast better averages.
that took only 1:44 off the clock; • In all, only 11 scoring drives - 10 of which culminated in touchdowns - have come on marches of 10 plays or more; • Fourteen of FSU’s TD drives have culminated with scoring plays in excess of 20 yards.
See Red And Score
Through 13 games the FSU offense has ventured into the red zone 68 times and come away with 62 scores (91 percent)... • The Seminoles converted 3-of-4 red zone ventures against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game, with all three conversions coming in the form of touchdowns; • Florida State converted 3-of-3 red zone scoring opportunities against Florida, with all three resulting in touchdowns; • FSU has scored on every red zone trip in eight of 13 games this season; • The ‘Noles were 22-of-22 on the year before driving to the Wake Forest 17 when time expired in their 52-0 victory; • For the year, the ‘Noles have converted 48 of their 68 red zone trips into touchdowns (71 percent), to go along with 14 field goals.
rushing for 200 equals victory
Since Jimbo Fisher arrived at Florida State as offensive coordinator in 2007 the Seminoles have excelled when the running game is working... • FSU improved to 22-1 in games when they have rushed for 200 or more yards against Maryland when the ‘Noles ran for 237 yards, including each of the last 22 times; • The Seminoles narrowly missed making it 23-1 when they finished with 194 rushing yards against Georgia Tech, largely because they chose to take a knee on the final two plays to run out the clock at the end of the game; • The 237-yard rushing game at Maryland marked the seventh time this season FSU has eclipsed 200 yards; • The last time the ‘Noles ran for 200 yards or more and lost came in a 35-28 Music City Bowl setback to Kentucky on Dec. 31, 2007 when FSU rushed for 204 yards. The top six rushing performances since the start of the 2007 season are: Yards Opponent Outcome 385 vs. Wake Forest, 2012 W, 52-0 313 at BYU, 2009 W, 54-28 310 at Miami, 2008 W, 41-39 298 at Miami, 2010 W, 45-17 290 vs. Western Carolina, 2008 W, 69-0 287 vs. Clemson, 2012 W, 49-37 Bold - indicates 2012 season games
200-yard rushing games the new norm
With its 237-yard rushing performance at Maryland, Florida State has eclipsed 200 yards seven times this season. It’s the first time since 1995 that a Florida State offense has registered seven 200-yard rushing performances in a season. Maryland became the sixth ACC team this season to surrender 200 yards on the ground to the Seminoles. It is the first time in 21 years of ACC membership that a Florida State team has posted six 200-yard games against league opponents.

Greene has been on a tear
Sophomore wide receiver Rashad Greene has been on a tear in recent weeks, following a slow start to the 2012 campaign... • Greene leads the Seminoles in receptions (52), receiving yards (696) and touchdown receptions (5); • He has done most of his damage over the last five games, totaling 25 receptions for 393 yards and four touchdowns against Duke, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Florida and Georgia Tech; • If you take that timeline back to six games his production jumps to 32 receptions for 442 yards and four touchdowns; • Greene had managed just 20 receptions and one touchdown through the first seven games of the 2012 season.
Spreading the scoring wealth
Florida State has demonstrated its outstanding, playmaking depth on offense during its 11-2 season... • Thirteen different Seminoles have found their way into the end zone on offense to this point in the season; • Those 13 Seminoles have teamed to produce 60 offensive touchdowns; • Rashad Greene has returned a pair of punts for touchdowns, as well; • Linebacker Christian Jones raced 12 yards with a fumble for a touchdown at USF for the lone defensive score of the season; • Tyler Hunter became the 15th ‘Nole to find the end zone following his punt return for a touchdown against Duke; • In all, 15 Seminoles have scored touchdowns, matching the 2011 team total.
Passing the protection test
Florida State’s revamped offensive line is vastly improved when it comes to protecting the passer in 2012... • The unit has yielded 26 sacks in 866 offensive snaps, which is one every 33.3 snaps and a significant improvement over the 2011 unit; • Last season, the ‘Noles surrendered 41 quarterback sacks in 820 offensive snaps, which converts to one every 20 plays. Only eight teams in the nation yielded more sacks; • The Seminoles have had three sack-free performances this season, most recently against Duke.

‘NOLES eclipse 6,000 YARDS
Florida State’s 2012 offense ranks as one of the most prolific in school history. Through 13 games the Seminoles have amassed 6,057 yards of total offense, which is the highest output by an FSU unit since the 2000 team piled up a single-season school record 6,588 yards… • The Seminoles’ 6,057 total yards – 2,639 rushing and 3,418 passing – rank as the fourth-best single-season total in program history; • FSU’s 2012 teams trails three teams that each eclipsed 6,000 yards – 2000, 1993 (6,576 yards) and 1995 (6,067).
TD TOTAL APPROACHING RECORD
With a three first half rushing touchdowns against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship game, Florida State players have raced into the end zone 64 times; their highest output since 2000… • FSU’s touchdown production breaks down this way: 37 rushing, 23 passing, 3 punt returns and 1 fumble return; • Only four Florida State teams have managed more touchdowns than the current team; • The 2000 squad was the last to crack the 60-touchdown barrier, finishing with 67; • The single-season school record for touchdowns was set by the 1995 teams, which recorded 72; • FSU’s 1993 national championship team reached 70 touchdowns for the first time in program history.
PENALTIES ON THE WANE
One season after being penalized 103 times in 13 games, the 2012 Florida State squad has cleaned up its act. Through 13 games this season the ‘Noles have only been penalized 81 times for 713 yards, marking a significant improvement… • Over the previous 16 seasons, the fewest penalties ever assessed against the Seminoles was 76 in 1995; • Since that ’95 campaign Florida State has never had fewer than 88 penalties in a season; • Florida State has been penalized at least 100 times in 10 of the last 16 seasons.
BALANCED ATTACK
Jimbo Fisher spent three seasons as FSU’s offensive coordinator before taking over as the head coach, and while he is well known for developing quarterbacks and the passing game, he steadfastly believes in a balanced attack. The Seminoles’ offense has been just that – balanced, with a slight edge to the run game – since Fisher arrived.

EJ Manuel’s magnificent all-around performance versus Clemson on Sept. 22 was truly one for the record books as he became just the second Seminole quarterback ever to eclipse 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the same game, finishing with career-high marks of 380 yards passing and 102 yards rushing... • Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward accomplished the feat once in 1992, passing for 395 yards and rushing for 111 against Maryland in a 69-21 win over the Terrapins on Nov. 7, 1992 in Tallahassee. • Manuel’s 482 yards of total offense ranks as the sixth-highest total in FSU history and the most since Chris Weinke compiled 527 yards versus Clemson on Nov. 4, 2000.
In just his second season as the full-time starter, senior quarterback EJ Manuel won’t finish his career at the top of many Florida State statistical lists. Here are a few numbers that quantify Manuel’s effectiveness numerically: • Manuel is FSU’s career leader for completion percentage. He has completed 574 of 859 attempts – 66.8 percent – which is significantly ahead of current No. 2 Charlie Ward (62.3); • The Virginia Beach, Va. native ranks third in ACC history for all-time completion percentage, trailing former Virginia star Matt Schaub (67.0) and Wake Forest’s Riley Skinner (66.9); • Manuel’s completion rate does not come from statpadding via short routes. He is averaging 13.0 yards per completion and 8.7 yards per attempt over the course of his career; • Only three FSU quarterbacks – Chris Weinke, Chris Rix and Christian Ponder – had more wins as a starter entering their senior seasons than Manuel, who began the season with 13. With 29 game appearances through his junior year, Manuel had more career appearances at that juncture than all but Rix; • With 24 wins as the starter, Manuel ranks third in school history, while his .800 winning percentage (246) is ninth all-time among ‘Noles; • He came into the 2012 campaign ranked No. 3 all-time in the Atlantic Coast Conference in career passing efficiency with a 146.10 rating, trailing only Weinke (151.15) and Georgia Tech’s Joe Hamilton (148.19); • Manuel’s current 150.78 rating ranks third in ACC history, behind current UNC QB Bryn Renner (154.59) and Weinke.

Winning when it matters
EJ Manuel’s first game-winning TD pass on FSU’s final possession - a 39-yard strike to Rashad Greene with :40 seconds remaining - delivered a 28-22 win at Virginia Tech. It marked the fourth, fourth quarter winning drive by Manuel in games he has started: • Manuel last pulled it off in FSU’s 18-14 Champs Sports Bowl win over Notre Dame as a junior in 2011, when he rallied the ‘Noles from a 14-3 deficit in the fourth quarter; • He drove the ‘Noles down the field to set up Dustin Hopkins’ game-winning FG as time expired to beat Clemson 16-13 in 2010; • As a freshman in 2009, he led the ‘Noles on a 44-yard TD drive, capped by Lonnie Pryor’s 3-yard TD run with 1:14 to go in a 29-26 win over Maryland.
EJ AMONG ACC ACTIVE LEADERS
In 30 career starts, Manuel ranks highly among the active ACC quarterback statistical leaders – no small feat considering 10 of 12 starters returned in 2012. Here’s how the Virginia Beach, Va. native stacks up: • Manuel ranks third among league quarterbacks with 8,246 yards of total offense, trailing Duke’s Sean Renfree (8,934) and Clemson’s Tajh Boyd (8,450); • Ranks third in career passing yards among active starters with 7,445, trailing Boyd (7,707) and Renfree (9,107); • With 18 200-yard passing games Manuel is ffifth behind Renfree (27), Boyd (20), UNC’s Bryn Renner (20) and NC State’s Mike Glennon (19); • With 46 career touchdown passes, Manuel ranks fifth, trailing Boyd (71), Glennon (62), Renner (54) and Renfree (50); • Manuel is tied for fifth on the active list in career touchdown responsibility with 56, which trails Boyd (86), Glennon (65), Renfree (60), and Georgia Tech’s Tevin Washington (57).
No. 3 is one of only two
EJ Manuel is one of only two Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) quarterbacks in the country to have played a significant role in three consecutive bowl victories. He was the Gator Bowl MVP as a redshirt freshman, threw the clinching TD pass in the Chick-fil-A Bowl after Christian Ponder was injured as a sophomore, and guided the ‘Noles past Notre Dame in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl despite playing much of the second half with a broken bone in his leg. Oklahoma’s Landry Jones is 3-0 as a bowl starter.

FLORIDA sTATE FOOTBALL Wilder delivering in relief
Punishing sophomore tailback James Wilder, Jr. has used his 6-foot-2, 226-pound frame quite effectively for the Seminoles this season, primarily in a reserve role... • With a pair of rushing touchdowns in an ACC Championship MVP performance against Georgia Tech, Wilder pushed his team-leading rushing touchdown total to 11, which ranks third in the ACC and second among league running backs; • With a pair of receiving touchdowns, Wilder has 13 on the season, which is the most by a Florida State player since Antone Smith scored 16 touchdowns in 2008; • He has five two-touchdown games on the year, which also leads the team; • Wilder collected the first two touchdown receptions of his career - from 7 and 12 yards out - from EJ Manuel in the 51-7 win over Boston College. That marked the fourth, two-touchdown performance of the season for Wilder; • He came up huge with a pair of 5-yard scoring runs in the win over Clemson; • Wilder opened the season with the first 100-yard rushing game of his career against Murray State (12-106), highlighted by a career-best 42-yard dash. He added touchdown runs of 9 and 7 yards for the first two-touchdown rushing performance of his career; • The Tampa, Fla., native followed up with two more rushing touchdowns against Savannah State, highlighted by a bruising, 19-yard run; • Wilder flirted with a second 100-yard performance against Wake Forest, finishing with 94 on a career-high 16 carries; • On the year, Wilder has 583 rushing yards on 99 carries (5.9 ypc) and 19 receptions for 136 yards.
Pryor Production
Senior Lonnie Pryor plays a variety of roles out of the Seminole backfield, from his primary position at fullback, to tailback and third-down back. His value is difficult to quantify in any one category, but his across the board numbers provide an impressive barometer... • Pryor ran for a pair of short-yardage touchdowns in Florida State’s 51-7 victory over Boston College. Those two scores give him six on the season, which ranks third; • Pryor rushed for a career-high 65 yards on seven carries, highlighted by his careerlong, 44-yard run in the first half against USF; • Pryor’s 21 career touchdowns – 16 rushing and five receiving – lead all active ‘Noles; • His 16 career rushing touchdowns tie him for 13th on FSU’s all-time list with William McCray and William Floyd, a pair of former Seminole fullbacks; • With 126 career points, Pryor is 18 shy of moving into a share of 20th place on FSU’s career scoring list; • The Okeechobee native’s 34 career receptions and 311 career receiving yards leads all active Seminole backs.
Rushing TD’s come in multiples
Since opening the season with seven rushing touchdowns in a win over Murray State, Florida State’s running backs have incredibly productive when it comes to finding the end zone. FSU has already set a single-season record with 37 rushing scores, many of which have come in multiples of two (or more). In fact, there have been 13, multi-rushing touchdown performances by the Seminoles this season... • Lonnie Pryor set the standard when he ran for a career-high three touchdowns in the opener against Murray State and was joined by James Wilder,Jr. and Debrale Smiley, with two rushing scores each; • The Murray State game marked the first time that three FSU backs rushed for two or more scores in the same game since Sam Platt, Larry Harris and Ken Burnett had two each in a 63-7 win over East Carolina in 1980; • Wilder, Jr. leads the team with four, two-touchdown performances, most recently matching that feat in the ACC Championship game against Georgia Tech; • Senior Chris Thompson and Wilder both found the end zone twice on runs against No. 10 Clemson in FSU’s 49-37; • Thompson had two long scoring runs in FSU’s blowout win over Wake Forest, when he rambled for a career-best 197 yards; • Sophomore tailback Devonta Freeman joined the fray when he stepped in after Thompson’s season-ending knee injury. He has three two-touchdown rushing performances in wins over Miami, Duke and Maryland; • Quarterback EJ Manuel joined the group with two rushing TD’s against Florida.
Division-clinching 41-14 win at Maryland; • With an expanded role in the past six games, Freeman has rushed for 488 yards on 67 carries (7.3 ypc) and six rushing touchdowns; • Freeman cracked the century mark with 104 yards on 12 carries, including two TD’s, against Duke. It was his second consecutive two TD effort and the fourth of his career; • His two TD performance against Miami was the his first since Nov. 3, 2011 at Boston College; • Freeman ranks second on the team in rushing touchdowns with eight and his 6.5 ypc average is second only to Thompson’s 7.5.
Smith matches receptions streak
Senior wide receiver Rodney Smith continues to demonstrate that he is one of the most reliable and productive pass-catchers for the Seminoles... • Smith collected one reception for 12 yards against Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game, extending his team-leading receptions streak to 38 consecutive games, which ties the school record held by E.G. Green (1994-97); • Smith’s 38-game streak is tied for the seventh-longest active streak among NCAA FBS players; • Since becoming a mainstay in FSU’s offense as a sophomore, Smith has caught at least one pass in 39 of 40 games played; • The last time he did not log a reception was Sept. 11, 2010 at Oklahoma; • Smith’s 112-yard receiving performance against Duke marked his second 100-yard performance of the season; • Smith has 103 career receptions, 1,387 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns and needs four catches, 94 yards and two touchdowns to move into the top 20 on FSU’s career lists.
Tight End contributions
Since Jimbo Fisher’s arrival as offensive coordinator in 2007, the tight end position has become more active in the offensive game plan. That has clearly been the case in 2012... • Sophomore Nick O’Leary has 19 receptions for 223 yards and three touchdowns – all single-season career bests – in just his second year with the Seminoles; • O’Leary recorded TD receptions in consecutive games when he followed up a 10-yard scoring toss from EJ Manuel at Maryland with a 6-yard touchdown reception against Florida; • He also has a two-point conversion reception against Virginia Tech; • Junior transfer tight end Kevin Haplea collected his first career TD reception as a Seminole; a 1-yard grab of an EJ Manuel pass which gave the ‘Noles a 20-10 lead at USF; • On the year, FSU’s tight ends have 23 receptions for 251 yards and four touchdowns.
SCORING IS WHAT ‘Noles Do
Florida State’s scoring production in 2012 has a very 1990s look. The Seminoles currently rank 14th nationally in scoring offense (39.92 ppg)... • With its 51-7 win over Boston College, FSU has eclipsed 50 points four times this season; • FSU last scored 50 points four times in a season back in 2000, when it did it five times en route to playing for the national championship against Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl; • The Seminoles have eclipsed 40 points seven times on the year; • Heading into the Orange Bowl the Seminoles are on pace to have their most productive scoring campaign since the 2000 team averaged 42.4 points per game; • The single-season school scoring record is 48.4 points per game, set in 1995; • Only five Florida State teams in program history have averaged better than 40 ppg.
welcome Home devo
FSU sophomore tailback Devonta Freeman made the most of the return trip to his hometown of Miami when he helped put the final nail in the Hurricanes’ coffin, rushing for two fourth quarter touchdowns as the Seminoles pulled away for a 33-20 win at Sun Life Stadium. He returns to the scene of that performance against Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl… • Freeman’s performance against the Hurricanes kick-started a late-season surge by the Seminoles’ 2011 rushing leader in the absence of senior Chris Thompson. He currently ranks second on the team with 630 rushing yards and trails Thompson for the team lead by only 57 yards; • Freeman ran for a career-high 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns in FSU’s Atlantic

NOTING THE NOLES: DEFENSE BOWL’D OVER
Since Jimbo Fisher took control of the Seminole football program, FSU has been perfect in bowl games and a lot of that has to do with defensive success… • In his only two bowl games as a head coach, Fisher’s teams have allowed just 31 combined points. • Notre Dame was averaging 30.5 points per game before FSU limited the Fighting Irish to just 14 points in last year’s Champs Sports Bowl. • South Carolina came into the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl averaging 32 points per game versus an SEC schedule and scored just 17 on the Seminole defense. • In five bowl games preceding Fisher, FSU only held one opponent under 20 points and allowed an average of more than 24 points per game. In Fisher’s two games as head coach the Seminoles allowed an average of 15.5 points per game.
TOP ATTACK
Florida State will face one of the most prolific offenses it has seen all year, statistically speaking, when its meets Northern Illinois in the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl… • Georgia Tech came into the ACC Championship Game with the nation’s third-ranked running offense and NIU will bring the nation’s ninth-best attack into the game with FSU. • This will be the second top 10 scoring offense FSU has faced. The Seminoles played Clemson earlier this year (No. 6 scoring offense) and now gears up for a Huskie attack ranked ninth in the NCAA. • The only other team FSU faced with a top 15 total offense was Clemson (9th).

Rebirth Of The D
The Seminole defense has undergone a renaissance the last three seasons and is putting up numbers reminiscent of the team’s heyday… • Last season the FSU defense ranked in the top five for rushing defense and total defense and in the top 10 for sacks and tackles for loss. • FSU was the only school in the country last year to rank in the top 10 of each of the following categories: total defense, rushing defense, scoring defense, sacks and TFL. • This season FSU and Alabama are the only defenses to rank in the top 10 for total defense, rush defense, pass defense and scoring defense. FSU and Alabama are also in the top 10 for pass efficiency defense, 3rd down conversion defense, 1st down defense and 3-and-outs. • In just three seasons, the FSU defense has improved from 108th in the nation in total defense to No. 2 in 2012.

ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE
Facing Georgia Tech’s triple option attack is a challenge for any defense and even more so when you only face it every four years. The Seminoles did an excellent job on a short turnaround, corralling the Yellow Jacket offense… • FSU held GT’s ground game to 140 fewer yards (323/183) than the squad averaged coming into the ACC Championship Game. • Georgia Tech’s 3.5 yards per rush versus Florida State was tied for the second-lowest by the Yellow Jackets this season. • The Yellow Jackets came into the game with the 28th-ranked offense in the nation helped by the NCAA’s third-best rushing attack. FSU held Tech to 158 yards fewer than its average (459/301). • While the Seminoles had just one sack in the game, FSU was able to rack up seven TFL versus the Jackets.
WERNER-KIND
The rise to dominance by German defensive end Bjoern Werner is nothing short of remarkable especially when you consider the Berlin native played just two years of high school football in the US... • In just 40 career games, Werner has already amassed 23.5 sacks, 35 TFL and 16 passes batted down. • Werner has already moved into the top 10 all-time at FSU for TFL in just his third season and just 26 career starts. • Versus Murray State, Werner showed off all aspects of his dynamic game with five TFL, four sacks and a pass batted down, winning ACC and national accolades for his performance in the opener. • His five TFL versus the Racers was one shy of tying a record set 45 years ago. • His numbers for sacks and TFL were both single game career highs. • Werner is tied for seventh in the nation in sacks per game after registering 3.5 versus Florida and he is tied for second in the nation for solo sacks 11. • After 13 games in 2012, Werner is already stacking up with the best totals ever compiled for TFL in the first three years of a Seminole career.

In 13 games, Florida State has held opponents to just a 27.23 percent (55-202) thirddown conversion rate… • Included in that staggering number is a 0-15 stretch dating from the second quarter of the Savannah State game to the third quarter of the Wake Forest game. • Wake Forest went 1-for-16 on third downs versus FSU. • Savannah State went 1-for-10 and Murray State converted 3-of-18. • FSU is second in the nation in not allowing opponents to convert on third down.
DIFFERENT TYPE OF PICK 6
With an interception versus Georgia Tech, Xavier Rhodes notched his third pick of the season and the eighth of his career… • Rhodes and Tyler Hunter each have three interceptions to lead the team. • While it may not seem like a huge feat to have two players with at least three interceptions each, it has happened just four times in the last seven years. • From 2001-2005 FSU had at least two players with a minimum of three interceptions every season. • In Jimbo Fisher’s first three years at the helm of the program, FSU has returned to having multiple players with three interceptions or more twice already.
• Of the four DL who have seven or more pass break-ups, none have more sacks than Werner (13). The next closest player has just 3.5. • The same goes for TFL. Werner leads the group (18) and has six more than the next closest DL. • Werner is seventh in the NCAA for sacks per game and is second in the nation in total sacks despite teams focusing on the dominating end. • He is tied for 21st in nation in TFL. • Maybe the biggest testament to what Werner did in 2012 was the success of Jenkins’ replacement, Tank Carradine. The former JUCO National Player of the Year was having a breakout season opposite Werner before suffering a season-ending injury. Carradine ended the year with 11 sacks, 13 TFL, 9 QB hurries and 80 tackles (second-most on the team).

jones-ing for tackleS
When preseason All-ACC selection Brandon Jenkins went out for the season after just one game, a star was born in Cornelius “Tank” Carradine. Carradine had a monster year but was lost for the rest of the season versus Florida in the regular season finale… • With Carradine out, FSU turned to young guns Mario Edwards, Jr. (FR) and Timmy Jernigan (SO). • Versus Georgia Tech Jernigan and Edwards combined for 16 tackles, one sack and 2.5 TFL. • Jernigan had a monster night with nine tackles, a sack and 1.5 TFL. • Jernigan set career highs for tackles (9) and tied his career high for sacks (1). • Edwards Jr. came into the ACC Championship Game with seven tackles on the season and doubled that total in one night.
Following the season finale versus Florida, Tank Carradine led FSU in tackles thanks his career-high tying 11 stops. Before suffering a season-ending injury he was in a battle to become the first defensive lineman to lead FSU in tackles since Reinard Wilson did it in 1996. Linebacker Christian Jones has taken the lead now mainly due to a big second half of the season… • Jones has recorded eight or more tackles in six of the last eight games, including two games with double-digit tackles. • In the first five games Jones had 17 tackles. He had 14 in the next game versus NC State and 68 over the current eight-game stretch. • In the last eight games, Jones has lead FSU in tackles three times and was second on the team in three other games. • The junior linebacker recorded a near-career high 11 tackles and a career high three tackles for loss versus Duke. • Most of his damage versus the Blue Devils came in the first quarter as he amassed eight of the 11 tackles and all three TFL in the opening stanza. • His three TFL in the Duke game doubled his season total in just one quarter of play.

STEPPING IT UP
If you needed any more proof pointing out why defensive end Bjoern Werner is a consensus All-American, just put on the tape from the game against No. 3 Florida… • Werner had arguably the best game of his stellar FSU career recording 3.5 sacks, a career-high tying six tackles and a fumble recovery for nine yards. • Coming into 2012, Werner’s career high for sacks in a game was two. He shattered that number in the opener with four versus Murray State but his 3.5 versus a top five team showed how dominant he can be versus an SEC power. • Werner is now seventh in the nation for sacks which are calculated on a per game basis. But on pure totals, his is just one half sack off the NCAA lead. • There is only one player in FSU history to record more sacks in their first three seasons than Werner and that is Peter Boulware who had 34 in his first three years at FSU. • Two of the six players with the best three-year start to a career for sacks are on the 2012 team in Werner and Jenkins who was lost for the season after just one game. • The junior DE is now fourth all-time in Seminole history for QB sacks tying Lombardi Award winner Jamal Reynolds with 23.5.

SWAT TEAM
Defensive end Bjoern Werner came into 2012 with high expectations. In week one he lost his bookend defensive end partner and All-American candidate Brandon Jenkins. Despite seeing teams focus more on Werner, he has found numerous ways to impact the game on top of being second in the nation in sacks… • When he isn’t getting to the QB he is finding ways to disrupt the offense by batting balls down. Werner is one of just four defensive linemen in the NCAA to have seven or more pass break-ups.
Offensive line coaches were pulling out their hair all season long trying to figure out ways to contain the FSU defensive end pairing of Bjoern Werner and Brandon Jenkins and then Werner and Tank Carradine… • With 31 TFL’s and 24 sacks between them, Werner and Carradine are ranking with the most prolific pairs of FSU defenders in school history. • Only two pairs of FSU defensive players have ever combined for more sacks in a season the Werner and Carradine. • The productivity at defensive end will be tested once again in the Discover Orange Bowl with Carradine out for the season and Mario Edwards, Jr. expected to make his second straight start. FSU’s Most Prolific Pairs – Sacks and TFL Pair (Year) Total Sacks Boulware/Wilson (1996) 32.5 Spiers/Wadsworth (1997) 26 Werner/Carradine (2012) 24 Jenkins/White (2010) 21.5 Boulware/Wilson (1995) 19

BREAKING A BILL
When you have the nation’s fifth-ranked rush defense, it is fairly obvious there are not a lot of backs having great days against you… • Since allowing back-to-back 100 yard games to Montel Harris (BC) and Damien Berry (UM) in week 6 and week 7 in 2010, only four backs (Mike Gillislee of UF 2012, Andre Williams of BC 2012, Josh Harris of Wake Forest in 2011, Jamie Harper of Clemson in 2010) have broken 100 yards versus the FSU defense in the last 33 games.

• In that 33 game stretch, the opposing team’s top rusher has been held below 50 yards 15 times. • What makes that run so special is some of the backs FSU limited during that span: - Chris Rainey (Pittsburgh Steelers) - Jeff Demps (New England Patriots) - Lamar Miller (Miami Dolphins) - Andre Ellington (Clemson) - twice - Dominique Whaley (Oklahoma) - Marcus Lattimore (South Carolina) - Da’Rel Scott (NY Giants) - Mike James (Miami)
FLORIDA sTATE FOOTBALL end game
The battle among defensive ends Bjoern Werner and Tank Carradine to lead FSU in sacks became more of a battle to lead the conference and the NCAA in sacks. With Carradine suffering a season-ending injury versus Florida, one of the most prolific pass rushing pairs in college football won’t be on display in the Discover Orange Bowl… • The pair is first and second in the ACC in sacks (Werner 1 and Carradine 2). • You have to go back to 2005 to find the last teammates to finish the year ranked one and two in sacks in the ACC. That year NFL overall first round pick Mario Williams (1) and Wolfpack teammate Manny Lawson (2) accomplished the feat. • Werner and Carradine are currently seventh and 14th in the NCAA in sacks, respectively. • Werner and Carradine are the only set of teammates in the top 15 for sacks in the FBS.
WERNER’S VALUE
Following a deflating loss on the road to NC State, the FSU defense opened the Boston College game by allowing the Eagles to take the opening kick-off and march 68 yards in six plays to the FSU one-yard line. The drive set the tone for the game but not in the way the Eagles would have hoped… • The FSU defense, with its back to the wall and the goal line, had a four-play stand that left the Eagles with no points and led to a 99-yard TD drive by the offense on the ensuing series. • All-American candidate Bjoern Werner had an influence on almost every play from the one-yard line. • On the first play Werner batted down a Chase Rettig pass. • On second down, Werner combined with Timmy Jernigan to record a tackle for no gain. • After a third down no gain, Werner blew up the final BC chance by busting through the middle of the line and forcing an incomplete pass while being credited with a QB hurry.
INT HUNTING
With the nation’s No. 2 defense residing in Tallahassee, the last piece of the defensive puzzle has been creating more turnovers. FSU may have found the answer… • Tyler Hunter recorded his second interception of the game to seal FSU’s comeback victory over the Hokies as Virginia Tech attempted to drive for a last ditch winning score. • It was the first time a Seminole picked off two passes in a game since Greg Reid did it versus Virginia in 2010. • It was the third interception for Hunter in his first season seeing significant action on the defense. • Hunter’s first career interception came against Miami.
TELL THEM ABOUT TELVIN
Although he has not started a game in 2013, Junior Telvin Smith has had another great season appearing in all 13 games… • Smith is third on the team with 60 tackles, which is 18 more than his previous season best. • With 9.5 tackles for loss, Smith has set a new career high in that area as well, besting the 8.5 he posted in 2011. • He established a single-game high for tackles with 11 versus Georgia Tech in his last game. That broke his own personal best mark he set earlier this year versus NC State (10). • Smith led FSU versus Miami in tackles (8) and TFL (2.0).
Long streak for long catches
FSU will enter the Discover Orange Bowl with the nation’s third-ranked pass defense. One of the main reasons is they have not given up many big passing plays… • The 54-yard pass surrendered by the FSU defense on the opening Virginia Tech drive was the longest allowed since a 60 yard TD in the first quarter of the Clemson game. • The Tigers later completed a 52 yard pass in the third quarter. • Since that 52-yard pass allowed versus Clemson, opponents had thrown the ball 218 times without completing a pass of 50 yards or more before the Virginia Tech game. • The trend continued versus Maryland, Florida and Georgia Tech as the Seminole defense did not allow a completion over 50 yards in any of those games.
FAST STARTS
Florida State’s defense is doing its part to put games out of reach by halftime with its stingy play in the first half of the game… • In 94 first half possessions by Seminole opponents, FSU’s defense has forced 57 punts (61.0 pct).
• Even more impressive than forcing a punt 61 percent of the time is the fact the Seminoles have allowed just 16 scores on those 94 first half possessions meaning opponents are scoring just 17 percent of the time. • The Seminoles have forced 57 punts, seven turnovers, four turnovers on downs and had seven opponents end the half with the football. • Seven times this year an FSU opponent has failed to score in the first quarter.
THREE AND DONE
The Seminole defense will head into the Discover Orange Bowl forcing an NCAAleading 81 three-and-out series... • Following the ACC Championship Game, the Seminoles added to their totals with three more three-and-outs to reach a total of 81. • The Seminoles lead the nation in forcing three-and-outs at 6.23 a game. • Florida State has now forced a three-and-out in 81 of its 172 series played, ranking first in the nation in that category as well at 47.1 percent.

TWO OF THE BEST MEET
While there may not seem to be a lot of similarities between the Seminoles and Huskies on the surface, you can bet both coaches would agree one of the reasons the two teams are meeting in the BCS is due to both teams ability to run the ball and stop the run… • Northern Illinois and Florida State rank 11th and 12th respectively in the nation in greatest disparity between rushing yards gained and rushing yards allowed. • Florida State and Alabama are the only two teams in the top 12 of this list allowing less than 100 rushing yards per game. • The average difference in rushing yards per game for FSU is plus-110 yards. • The Seminoles have out-rushed their opponents by 200 yards or more three times and by 148 yards or more four other times. • FSU has gained more rushing yards than its opponent in 11 of 13 games this year (Virginia Tech and Florida were the only exceptions). • The Seminoles even outrushed Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game despite 15 fewer rushes (52-37).

Florida State’s defense is once again ranked among the best units in the nation in multiple defensive categories but there is one that hasn’t been mentioned much… • The Seminole defense is second in the nation at limiting opponent first downs, allowing 14.31 per game. • Alabama (13.54) is the only team in the nation joining FSU in allowing less than 14.75 a game. • The Seminoles are at the top due to the fact the defense is second in the NCAA in third down conversion percentage (27.2 pct).

BREAK UP THE ‘NOLES
The Seminoles are working on getting their turnover numbers up. Despite the fact FSU has just eight interceptions in 2012, the Seminoles have done something this year they haven’t done since 2010… • With five pass break ups versus Clemson and Wake Forest and then five versus BC and UM, the Seminoles recorded back-to-back games with five PBUs twice this year. • The last time the Seminoles had consecutive games with as many as five PBUs was October 9 (8 vs. UM) and October 16 (10 vs. BC) in 2010. • In 2011, FSU’s highest number of PBUs in a game was five and that happened on just one occasion. • This season the Seminoles have now recorded five PBUs in four of their 13 games.
shutting down the best WR’s
The Seminole secondary has taken a back seat at times compared to the vaunted front four and the rushing defense, but this group is establishing itself week-by-week… • The Seminoles have faced each of the ACC’s top nine receivers (yds/game) and held them all below their season average in both catches and yards per game. • The top nine ACC receivers have combine to average 743 yards per game receiving but against the FSU defense these nine wide outs totaled just 320 yards. • This group has combined to catch an average of almost 52 passes per game. Versus the Seminoles the nine star receivers totaled just 28 receptions. • Five of the nine receivers totaled less than 25 yards in their game versus the FSU.

QUARTER NUMBERS
Not only has the FSU defense become one of the nation’s best but the group has shown a knack for stretches of utter dominance… • In the ACC opener Wake Forest posted 54 total yards in the first quarter and just 21 in the second. • Clemson had a huge first quarter with 173 yards but that total was more than halved in the second to 85. • In the USF game the Bulls put up 144 first quarter yards but then totaled just 39 in the second and third quarters combined. • While the high-powered NC State offense got going in the second half, the Wolfpack mustered just 28 yards in the first quarter and only 40 in the second. • After putting up 175 yards in the first half, BC posted 32 yards in the third quarter and 23 total yards in the fourth quarter. • Miami rushed for -12 yards in the second half. • Versus Duke, the defense limited the Blue Devils to -1 total yards in the fourth quarter on 12 yards passing and -13 rushing. • Virginia Tech rushed for just 16 yards in the opening quarter versus FSU and managed just 11 yards on the ground in the third. • Against Maryland, the Terps managed zero rushing yards and just 27 passing yards in the entire first half. • In the pivotal third quarter versus UF, where Florida State came back to take a lead,
NOWHERE TO RUN It is easy to see why the Seminoles defense led the nation in average per rush in
2011 and is fifth in the nation in rush defense this year when you look inside the numbers… • FSU has limited 18 of the last 26 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. • Only three backs have rushed for more than 100 yards in all of 2011 and 2012. • In the team’s last 20 wins, FSU allowed 77.7 rushing yards per game. • Ten of the Seminoles’ last 26 opponents rushed for less than 65 yards versus the Seminole defense and one just passed that number (NC State 66).

RED ZONE NUMBERS
If you look at the NCAA Statistics concerning red zone defense the Seminoles show up at 95th, but when you dissect those numbers, you’ll see that stats and rankings can sometimes be misleading… • One of the interesting numbers inside those numbers is the fact the Seminoles are one of just five teams in all of the FBS to allow opponents inside the red zone fewer than 30 times. • FSU tied for second in the NCAA in trips allowed inside the 20 by an opponent on a per game basis.

He is ranked in the top 10 amongst six running backs, one quarterbacks, two kickers and one wide receiver.
.... and the acc, as well
Dustin Hopkins is looking to lead the ACC in scoring for the second consecutive season.

BEATTY ENJOYING effective 1ST SEASON
Freshman Cason Beatty is enjoying a truly effective first season as Florida State’s punter... • Since the Seminoles are ranked third in the ACC and are ranked 14th nationally in scoring (39.9 points per game), Beatty is not ranked among the ACC or national leaders because he has been credited with only 42 punts (3.2 punts per game). • Beatty and the Seminoles’ outstanding punt coverage team have allowed only seven of his punts to be returned for a total of 81 yards. The Seminoles allowed one punt return for two yards against Murray State, two returns for 18 yards by USF and two returns for 10 yards by Virginia Tech, one for one yard against Maryland and only one return by Florida. • Beatty is ranked second in the ACC with 19 punts dropped inside of the 20 and is one of three punters to record as few as two touchbacks. • The Seminoles have been forced to make only four tackles on Beatty’s first 42 punts of his career and -- one on his second punt of the season in the second quarter of the first game against Murray State, two against Virginia Tech and one against Virginia.
NEARLY NON RETURNABLE
Cason Beatty has punted 42 times and the Seminoles’ special teams have limited their opponents to a total of 81 total yards on seven total returns... • Beatty has dropped two of his 42 punts at the five–yard line, six of his 42 punts (14 percent) between the six and the 10-yard line, eight of his 42 punts (19 percent) inside of the 10-yard line and 12 of his 42 punts (29 percent) inside of the 15-yard line. He has dropped 19 of his 42 punts (45 percent) inside the 20-yard line. • Beatty has been charged with only two touchbacks in the first 42 punts of his career.
SPECIAL TEAMS SPECIAL
Florida State’s punt and kickoff units are both among the top special teams units in the nation... • Of the Seminoles’ 143 total kicks (99 kickoffs and 44 punts), the Seminoles’ opponents have 1,005 total return yards – an average of 7.0 yards per return. • Against Murray State, Hopkins and Beatty combined for 15 kicks – only eight of which were returned for a total of 114 yards • Against Savannah State, Hopkins and Beatty combined for 10 kicks – only three of which were returned for a total of 41 yards
Sophomore Rashad Greene leads the Seminoles and ranks second in the ACC with a 15.8 yards per punt return average on a career-high 20 punt returns. • He has allowed the Seminoles to increase their punt return average from 10.4 yards per return in 2011 to 14.4 yards per return in 2012. • Greene has returned two punts for touchdowns (60 yards against Wake Forest and 47 yards against Murray State) this year.
FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
Tyler Hunter and Rashad Greene have both returned a punt for a touchdown this season marking the first time more than one player had a “true” punt return (one that wasn’t returned on a blocked punt) in a season in FSU history... • On just his third punt return ever, sophomore Tyler Hunter returned Duke’s third punt of the game 75 yards for a touchdown... • It was the longest punt return of the season and the longest punt return since Greg Reid’s 83-yard return against Miami in 2011. • Hunter’s punt return score gave FSU three punt return touchdowns in a season for the first time since 2005 when Willie Reid had three punt return scores. • Rashad Greene has two punt return touchdowns this season
JOYNER IS Fsu’S ALL-TIME LEADER
Junior Lamarcus Joyner currently sits as the Seminoles’ all-time career leader for average yards per kickoff return (24.5 yards per return on 47 career returns)... • Joyner is currently averaging just 0.2-yard per return less than Greg Reid (24.7) as the Seminoles’ primary return man from 2009-11. • Joyner is currently fifth in school history in career kickoff return yards (1,150) and became only the sixth player in school history with 1,000 or more career kickoff return yards against Virginia Tech with four returns for 99 yards. • He became only the sixth player in school history with 1,000 or more career kickoff return yards with four returns for 99 yards against Virginia Tech.

COACHES PLAYERS 2012 SEASON REVIEW
2013 orange bowl guide •
25
FLORIDA sTATE FOOTBALL In his first three seasons at the helm of the Florida State football program, head coach Jimbo Fisher has carried the Seminoles back to a place of prominence on the national stage. With a 30-10 record entering the Discover Orange Bowl, Fisher has won more games than all but three men in Atlantic Coast Conference history after three seasons. Bobby Bowden, the legendary Seminole coach whom he succeeded, has the best record among ACC coaches in their first three seasons (33-3-1). With an Orange Bowl victory over Northern Illinois, Fisher can pull even with Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer and former Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen, who posted 31-8 marks at the conclusion of their first three campaigns in the ACC. After 22 seasons as a college assistant, including three as FSU’s offensive coordinator, Fisher became the first new coach of the Seminoles in 35 years in 2010. He led the ‘Noles to a 10-4 mark – the most by a firstyear coach in FSU history - and the first of two ACC Atlantic Division titles. He followed with a 9-4 season in 2011 and improved to 11-2 in year three, delivering FSU its first ACC Championship since 2005. Known for his keen offensive mind, Fisher has dutifully led a commitment to recruiting, which has produced a pair of top-two signing classes. In addition to landing nationallyheralded classes, he has carefully placed a strong emphasis on defense. That decision has paid off as the ‘Noles have made the climb from 108th nationally in total defense in 2009, to second in 2012. Player development has also been a top priority, with the Seminoles continually showing improvement both on the field and in terms of recognition. His first two teams produced seven NFL Draft picks, highlighted by quarterback Christian Ponder’s first-round selection in the 2011 draft. Under Fisher’s watch six Seminoles have earned All-American honors, including current standouts Bjoern Werner and Dustin Hopkins. After producing a total of nine All-ACC honorees in his first two seasons, Fisher saw a league-leading 12 ‘Noles honored in 2012. Werner was the ACC Defensive Player of Year, while Ronald Darby earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Fisher cut his coaching teeth first at Samford, where he was an All-American quarterback and Division III National Player of the Year, before moving on to Auburn in 1993, where he spent six seasons. After one season at Cincinnati, he joined the LSU staff. During a seven-year run as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator he developed six quarterbacks who were selected in the NFL Draft and helped the Tigers claim the 2003 BCS National Championship. He joined Bowden’s

Florida State staff in January 2007 and within a year was tabbed as the legendary coach’s successor. His vision for building a championship program was heavily influenced by Nick Saban and Bowden, but Fisher credits his parents John James and Gloria Fisher, for instilling the qualities – hard work, accountability and the importance of family and academics – that have shaped him and his program. Fisher’s wife, Candi Fisher, and their sons, Trey and Ethan, are regular visitors to the football office and practice fields. In August 2011, the Fisher’s announced the creation of the Kidz 1st Fund, in a quest to find a cure for Fanconi anemia which afflicts their son, Ethan.

A CLOSER LOOK
• Jimbo Fisher and his wife, Candi, announced on Aug. 5, 2011 the creation of a new national fund to fuel the quest for a cure for Fanconi anemia, a very rare life-threatening disorder that afflicts their 7-year-old son, Ethan, and many others. • Money raised through a campaign called “I Fight Fanconi” will support research into Fanconi anemia at the University of Minnesota, one of the leading universities pioneering better ways to treat the disorder, in advance of finding a cure. The campaign will raise research dollars for the Kidz 1st Fund, established by the Fishers, through the sale of t-shirts, wristbands and other products and through online donations. Less than seven months after creating the fund, Coach Fisher and his wife Candi along with their sons, presented the University of Minnesota’s Amplatz Children’s Hospital with a check for $500,000 for Fanconi anemia research during the first half of a University of a Minnesota men’s basketball game on Mar. 3, 2012. The $500,000 doubled the University’s current research budget for Fanconi anemia. • This type of hereditary anemia, primarily a blood disease, can affect all systems in the body and leads to bone marrow failure. For decades, the disorder was thought to be untreatable, but promising advances in medical research have improved the prognosis. To extend their lives, most children suffering from Fanconi anemia will require a stem cell transplant, either bone marrow or cord blood, yet many wait years to find a donor who is a perfect match – or never find one. • Kidz1stFund’s ultimate goal is not a dollar figure. It is a cure, so that Ethan and other kids with Fanconi anemia may lead full, happy lives. Together we can fight FA for the thousands affected by this disease. Through your gift to Kidz1stFund, we can all say “I FIGHT FANCONI.” • The Fishers also are making a widespread appeal for people to join the National Marrow Donor Registry to determine if they are a match for any of the thousands of people whose lives depend on a bone marrow transplant.

• Led FSU to its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 2005 with a 21-15 title game victory over Georgia Tech on Dec. 1 in Charlotte, N.C. The Seminoles have won two ACC Atlantic Division titles in three years and with their 13th conference championship, trail Clemson by one title for the all-time league record. • Has led FSU to its 31st consecutive bowl appearance - the longest active streak in the nation and second all-time to Nebraska’s 35 and extended its streak of four consecutive bowl victories, which also is the longest active streak in the nation. • With 30 victories, he has collected more than any previous Florida State coach in their first three seasons. FSU’s 51-7 win over Boston College on Oct. 13 was the 25th of his career, which moved him past Don Veller (24) for most wins in his first three seasons. Bobby Bowden registered 23 between 1976 and 1978. Has reached 30 wins in 40 games, matching the legendary Bowden to reach that standard. • Ranks second among all-time Atlantic Coast Conference coaches for career wins in three seasons, trailing only former Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen (31). • Highlighted by the first back-to-back sweeps of Miami and Florida since 1998 and 1999, he led the Seminoles to five consecutive wins over their in-state rivals, matching the longest such streak in school history (1977-79). • Under his three-season watch the Seminoles have recorded five shutout victories, including two in 2012. Only two Seminole coaches have recorded more shutout wins in their first three seasons at the helm. Don Veller notched seven shutout wins from 1948 through 1950 and Bill Peterson registered six between 1960 and 1962. • In 2010 he guided FSU to its best home record (6-1) since 1999 and 2000, then matched that mark with a 6-1 record at Doak Campbell Stadium in 2012. The Seminoles are 17-4 defending their home turf over his last three seasons.

• Named the 2010 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-America Team Coach. • Won the most games (10) by a first-year coach in Florida State history and tied for the second most by a rookie coach in ACC history. • Put together back-to-back top five recruiting classes with the 2011 class ranking either first or second nationally by ESPN.com, Scout.com and Rivals.com, and the 2012 class ranking No. 2 by ESPN.com. • In posting the first season sweep of in-state rivals Florida and Miami, he joined former Florida coaches Ray Graves (1960) and Galen Hall (1985) as the only men in the state to pull off the feat as a first-year coach. The 52-point combined margin of victory over the rival Hurricanes and Gators was the widest margin in a season sweep by the Seminoles. • By winning six of his first seven games in his first year, Fisher joined former FSU coaches Don Veller (`48) and Larry Jones (`71) to notch that feat as a first-year coach with the `Noles. • Responsible for developing FSU QB Christian Ponder who, as a second-year starter, led the ACC in total offense and passing yards per game in 2009. Ponder capped off his senior season in 2010 by becoming the 12th overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2011 NFL Draft. • Has already turned out seven NFL Draft picks in his first two seasons, matching the total produced by the Seminoles over the three previous seasons. • As FSU’s offensive coordinator from 2007-09, the Seminoles improved each season to rank among the ACC leaders in total offense. • Offensive coordinator for the 2003 National Champion LSU Tigers. • Coached three players selected in the first round of the 2007 NFL draft, including No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell.

• Florida State graduate James Coley is completing his fifth season with the Seminoles and his third as offensive coordinator, in addition to his ongoing responsibilities as the tight ends coach. In his eighth season at the collegiate level, Coley is heavily involved in game-planning and provides invaluable game-day assistance down to the sideline from the press box. • Coley has been instrumental in helping an FSU offense rack up more than 6,000 yards of total offense - only the fourth team in school history to do so. The 2012 offense also became just the second team to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 2,500 yards in a season. • Coley has a wide range of coaching experience, including a season as the offensive coordinator at Florida International (2007). He cut his coaching teeth at the high school level over a six-season stretch in Miami. • Coley served two years as a graduate assistant at LSU, working alongside offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher. He followed that with a two-year stint on Nick Saban’s Miami Dolphins staff as an offensive assistant. • Coley spent his first two seasons with the Seminoles as the recruiting coordinator, where he was responsible for landing back-to-back Top 10 signing classes and re-stocking the talent pool which has been instrumental in FSU’s 18 wins over the past two seasons. • On the field, Coley’s work has been instrumental in bringing the tight end position back to a place of prominence for the Seminoles.
• Eddie Gran is completing his 26th season of collegiate coaching and his third at Florida State, where he serves as associate head coach, tutoring the running backs and coordinating special teams. Prior to his arrival, Gran spent 15 seasons as a running backs coach and special teams coordinator in the SEC, including 10 years at Auburn, followed by one season at Tennessee. • Under Gran’s direction, Florida State boasts the most productive kicker in FBS history in senior Dustin Hopkins, who has earned multiple All-American honors and was a Lou Groza Award finalist for the second consecutive year. Two different punt returners – Rashad Greene and Tyler Hunter – have returned three for touchdowns; a first in FSU history. Lamarcus Joyner has the top career kickoff return average in school history. • Gran has continued his tradition of developing backfield talent is storied. James Wilder, Jr. needs just 17 rushing yards in the Orange Bowl to join Chris Thompson and Devonta Freeman as the first trio of 600-yard rushers for the Seminoles since 1984. • During his 14 seasons as the assistant to Tommy Tuberville at Ole Miss and Auburn, he sent eight ball carriers on to the NFL, including former Tigers Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown, Rudi Johnson, Brandon Jacobs, Heath Evans and Kenny Irons. They were preceded by former Rebels Deuce McCallister and John Avery.
• Rick Trickett is in his sixth season at Florida State and his 40th overall as one of the nation’s most respected offensive line coaches. He is nationally recognized for his ability to identify, recruit and develop talent, which has paid dividends throughout his tenure with the Seminoles. • Trickett’s history of molding young units has been instrumental in 2012 as the Seminoles opened the year with just one seasoned veteran starter and developed into a sound group. With junior center Bryan Stork providing the bulk of the experience, two true sophomores, a redshirt sophomore who moved from the defensive line, and a junior college transfer have helped the offense average 465.9 total yards, 39.9 points and amass a school-record 37 rushing touchdowns. All five starters – Cameron Erving, Josue Matias, Stork, Tre’ Jackson and Menelik Watson – were nominated for All-ACC honors. • The line’s development is following a similar arc as the 2008-2010 groups under Trickett, which evolved from one of the nation’s youngest units to become one of its finest. As veterans in 2010, they helped deliver the most productive offensive season (421.4 ypg) since 2001. • Trickett has twice re-stocked the talent pool along the FSU offensive line, including the current starting group which is both the largest (319 lb. avg) and statistically most productive during his tenure, with all five starters eligible to return in 2013. • All five ‘Noles were recognized as either All-ACC secondteam or honorable mention honorees.

• Greg Hudson is completing his 22st season of collegiate coaching as Florida State’s assistant head coach and linebackers coach in 2012, his third with the Seminoles. Prior to his arrival he spent five seasons as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at East Carolina. Along the way, Hudson has made coaching stops at Minnesota, Cincinnati and Connecticut. He was on the Cincinnati staff when FSU coach Jimbo Fisher was the Bearcats’ offensive coordinator in 1999. • Hudson has been instrumental in the reshaping of the FSU linebacker unit, led by team-leading tackler Christian Jones, who moved from the weakside to strongside in 2012. With senior Vince Williams and junior Telvin Smith combining for 109 stops (15 for losses) from the middle and converted senior safety Nick Moody stepping at the weakside, the unit has allayed all preseason concerns. • Hudson’s linebacker corps has played a pivotal role in FSU’s climb as one of the nation’s top defensive units in three short seasons, as the ‘Noles currently ranked second nationally in total defense. • During his tenure at East Carolina, where he worked for one-time FSU graduate assistant Skip Holtz, the Pirates set new standards for excellence. ECU posted four consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 30 years and made four consecutive bowl appearances for the first time in school history. The Pirates also became the first team to win consecutive Conference USA championship games in 2008 and 2009.
• Dameyune Craig is in his ninth season as a college coach – his third at Florida State - following a two-year run at South Alabama where he directed the wide receivers for Joey Jones. Jones made Craig his first hire when he was charged with starting the Jaguars’ football program, which played its first season in 2009 and is in the process of becoming a Football Bowl Subdivision program. • Charged with coordinating FSU’s recruiting efforts, Craig has had a profound impact on the trail for promising new talent, especially in his home state of Alabama. • In addition to his recruiting duties, Craig also assists Fisher in the day-to-day instruction of Seminole quarterbacks. Like FSU veteran EJ Manuel, and Christian Ponder before him, Craig was an exceptional student-athlete on and off the field, earning Academic All-SEC honors as a senior at Auburn in 2007. • In 2012, Craig moved from the press box to the field, where he provides face-to-face feedback with Manuel between series. Manuel went on to have his one of his best season throwing for more than 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns as he will finish his career ranked in the top five all-time in passing yards and total offense. • Craig has a close relationship with Fisher, who was his quarterbacks coach throughout his record-setting career at Auburn. He still holds numerous Auburn passing records, including completions (216) and passing yards (3,227) in a season.
• D.J. Eliot is completing his 15th season of collegiate coaching and the Seminoles’ third-year defensive ends coach is the youngest member of Jimbo Fisher’s staff. Eliot spent three seasons as the recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach at Rice. • Eliot has already made his mark, tutoring the players who have helped return FSU to its place among programs with elite pass rushers. Junior defensive end Bjoern Werner earned unanimous All-American honors, while Cornellius Carradine led the team in tackles with 80 before injuring his knee in the season finale. Eliot’s group has prospered despite the loss of senior All-American Brandon Jenkins to injury in the first half of the season-opener. • In addition to his hands-on work with the ends, Eliot’s contributions to the FSU defensive scheme have not gone unnoticed. He was instrumental in the Seminoles shutting down Georgia Tech’s triple-option in the ACC Championship game, and as he has done since arriving, provides vital feedback from his in-game spot in the coaches box for one of the nation’s elite units. • Eliot was a member of the 2008 Rice staff which guided the Owls to a 10-3 record, capped by a Texas Bowl victory. It was the program’s first 10-win season since 1949 and first bowl triumph since the 1950 Cotton Bowl. • He and Odell Haggins coach one of the nation’s top defensive fronts. Over the past three seasons the Seminoles have combined for 119 quarterback sacks, just under 40 per season and 2.975 per game.

• Lawrence Dawsey is in his sixth season on the FSU staff as the receivers coach after adding passing game coordinator duties to his responsibilities coach in 2010. The additional duty is a nod to Dawsey’s budding career on the sideline, where he has already established himself as an outstanding recruiter. • Florida State’s receivers have prospered under Dawsey’s direction. In 2012, six different receivers have caught at least 20 passes and two others are just one reception shy of giving the Seminoles eight with 20 or more for the first time in FSU history. Collectively, receivers are averaging 13 yards per reception, with eight different men finding their way into the end zone. Sophomore Rashad Greene leads the team with 52 catches for 696 yards and five TD’s, while Rodney Smith has tied the school record with an active streak of 38 games with at least one reception. • Dawsey was an integral part of the Seminoles football dynasty as a player. His four seasons at wide receiver coincided with the first four 10-win, top-five poll finishes by FSU. As a player, he was known for his work ethic, accountability, precision route-running, down-field blocking and the ability to rise to the occasion in big games. Those are the same qualities he is charged with imparting on the Seminoles receiver corps.
• Odell Haggins is the longest-tenured member of the Florida State coaching staff as he completes his 19th season at the school where he starred on the defensive line from 1986-89. He began his career as a tight ends/ offensive line coach in 1994 with the Seminoles and took over the interior defensive line duties in 1996, where he has remained a fixture. • Haggins has been instrumental in developing one of the nation’s finest interior defensive lines, building a deep group led by senior vets Everett Dawkins and Anthony McCloud, junior Demonte McAllister and rising stars in sophomore Timmy Jernigan and true freshman Eddie Goldman. FSU’s run defense is allowing opposing backs to average just 2.77 yards per carry and 93 yards per game, which rank fourth and fifth, respectively, among FBS programs. • FSU’s interior line dominance has freed defensive ends Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine to amass 24 sacks and 31 tackles for loss as the most dynamic tandem nationally. • Haggins has repeatedly turned out top-flight talent. Since the 2000 season he has coached eight defensive tackles that have been selected in the NFL Draft. The litany of standouts that Haggins has coached includes four first round draft picks: Brodrick Bunkley (2006), Travis Johnson (2005), Corey Simon (2000) and Andre Wadsworth (1998).
• Veteran NFL and SEC defensive coach Sal Sunseri joined the Florida State staff in December and will oversee the defensive ends. • Sunseri, who just completed his 28th season in the coaching ranks, served as the defensive coordinator at Tennessee in 2012 following a three-year run at Alabama where he helped the Crimson Tide capture the 2009 and 2011 BCS National Championships. • At Alabama he served as assistant head coach to Nick Saban while mentoring the linebackers, including standouts Rolando McClain, Dont’a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw. His work did not go unrecognized as he was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award in 2011, presented to the nation’s top assistant coach. The Crimson Tide consistently ranked among the nation’s top defenses in multiple categories during his stay. • Sunseri joined the Alabama staff following a seven-year run with the Carolina Panthers, including six seasons as the defensive line coach. Carolina won an NFC title and reached the Super Bowl, thanks in no small part to his work with an impressive collection of stars led by Pro Bowlers Julius Peppers, Mike Rucker and Kris Jenkins. • Prior to joining the Panthers’ staff, he was the special teams coordinator and linebackers coach at Michigan State (2001), which was the same posts he held a year earlier under Saban at LSU in 2000.

strength & conditioning • Vic Viloria joined Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher’s staff in January 2010 from SMU - his alma mater - where he spent the previous three seasons as the head strength & conditioning coach. Under his guidance the Seminoles have made noticeable physical gains across the board in just three seasons. • Prior to his time at SMU, Viloria spent the previous three years as an assistant strength coach at LSU under the supervision of Tom Moffitt, working with the Tigers’ nationally-ranked football and baseball programs, as well as the swimming and golf teams. • A disciple of renowned weightlifting coach Gayle Hatch, Viloria endorses the “Hatch System” which develops functional and explosive strength in players through the use of free weights, plyometrics and jumping drills. • Viloria was a four-year letter winner at linebacker for SMU and a three-time member of the All-Western Athletic Conference team. He led the Mustangs in tackles each of his final three seasons and recorded at least 10 tackles in 21 games over the course of his career. He wrapped up his playing career as a member of the NFL Europe’s Scottish Claymores. • Viloria holds his certification through USA Weightlifting.

2012: One of the most versatile and disruptive defensive ends in the nation who finds numerous ways to make his presence felt despite constant double teams...ranks seventh in the NCAA in sacks per game, second in total sacks and first in the ACC… leads the nation in yards accumulated on tackles behind the line of scrimmage (134)… only one player in FSU history has recorded more sacks in their first three seasons than Werner and that is Peter Boulware…after just two years of high school football in the US, Werner has amassed 35 TFL, 23.5 sacks, 17 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in three seasons in Tallahassee…moved into the top 10 all-time at FSU for TFL in just his third season and just 26 career starts…currently fourth all-time at FSU for TFL recorded in the first three seasons of a career…over the last two seasons, Werner has recorded a sack of TFL in 17 of FSU’s 26 games and he has recorded a tackle in 33 consecutive games…one of just four defensive linemen in the NCAA to have seven or more pass break-ups and none of the other three players have more than five sacks compared to 13 for the FSU defensive end and none have more TFL…second in the ACC in TFL…ranks among the ACC leaders for PBU (the only defensive lineman on that list)…in the season opener Werner came one TFL shy of tying a 45-year old FSU record when he racked up five in the game, also recorded four sacks and a pass batted down…versus Boston College, Werner almost single-handedly thwarted BC on four attempts to score from the FSU one-yard line in a 0-0 game by recording a PBU on first down, a tackle for no gain on second down and a QB hurry on fourth down causing an incomplete pass…FSU would go on to march 99 yards on the ensuing series for the TD…had arguably the best game of his stellar FSU career recording 3.5 sacks, a career-high tying six tackles and a fumble recovery for nine yards versus No. 4 Florida in the regular season finale.

Game 2, Sept. 8 (6/6) Florida State 55, Savannah State 0 tallahassee, FLA.
• Leading the charge in the season-opening win over FCS opponent Murray State was defensive end Bjoern Werner. The German-born pass rusher set career highs in tackles for loss (five) and sacks (four). • Florida State rushed for 285 yards on 42 carries. • Sophomore running back James Wilder, Jr. earned the team’s game ball for his twotouchdown, 106-yards on just 12 carries performance. • Senior running back Chris Thompson officially returned from the broken back he sustained last year and racked up 32 yards on six carries while getting the start. • Sophomore running back Devonta Freeman rattled off 64 yards on 10 carries and fullbacks Lonnie Pryor and Debrale Smiley combined for five rushing scores, as FSU scored seven times on the ground for just the third time in school history. • Quarterback EJ Manuel connected on 16 of his 22 pass attempts for 188 yards and one touchdown to help balance out the offense and Clint Trickett added 117 yards in back-up duty in the second half. • Kenny Shaw grabbed four passes for 82 yards and one score and Kelvin Benjamin and Rashad Greene combined for 92 yards receiving. • Greene also added a punt return for a touchdown -- the team’s first score of the year and Greene’s first such score of his career. • Senior defensive end Brandon Jenkins missed all of the second half with a foot contusion but his backup and classmate, Cornellius Carradine, stepped in and finished the night with a team-high nine tackles to go along with one sack and two tackles for loss.

2012 SEASON RECAPS & BOX SCORES Game 9, o t. 27 (11/10/12) Florida State 48, Du e 7 tallahassee, Fla.
Game 10, NOV. 8 (8/6/10) Florida State 28, VIRGINIA TECH 22 BLACKSBURG, Va.
• Florida State moved to 18-0 all time against the Blue Devils (6-3, 3-2) with a 48-7 victory thanks to an offense that exploded for 560 yards and a defense that allowed just 232. • EJ Manuel averaged a little more than 35 yards per completion as his 8-of-16 night resulted in 282 yards and two touchdowns -- one to Rashad Greene and another to Kelvin Benjamin. Rodney Smith finished with a season-best 112 yards and Benjamin had 77. • James Wilder, Jr. earned his first career start and carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards and a score while Freeman ran 12 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns. The latter averaged a staggering 8.7 yards per carry en route to becoming the fourth different FSU player this season to hit the century mark in rushing yards (Wilder, Jr., Lonnie Pryor and Chris Thompson were the others). • FSU finished the night with 261 yards -- the sixth time this year that the ‘Noles have run for at least 200 in a game after accomplishing that feat just twice last year. • While FSU’s offense was racking up big yards, the defense was preventing Duke from doing much of the same. The Blue Devils entered the game with the ACC’s second most potent passing attack with an average of nearly 290 yards through the air each game, but finished with just 129 yards through the air. • Defensive end Cornellius Carradine had a career-high four quarterback hurries and linebacker Christian Jones had a game-high 11 tackles, including three for loss in the first quarter. • Sophomore Tyler Hunter took his third career punt return to the end zone for a 75 yard score in the first quarter, while senior kicker Dustin Hopkins set the ACC’s alltime field goal record as his 81st sailed a career-long 56 yards in the fourth quarter. • Sophomore wide receiver Rashad Greene hauled in a 71-yard touchdown pass from Manuel to get the scoring going just under four minutes into the contest.
• Florida State moved to 9-1 for the first time since the 2000 season with a 28-22 come-from-behind victory over Virginia Tech at a hostile Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. • With the Seminoles trailing 22-20, senior quarterback EJ Manuel got the ball with 2:19 left in the game an engineered the game-winning drive, finding sophomore receiver Rashad Greene for a touchdown on a slant pass that Greene took 39 yards for the score with 40 seconds left to play. It was Manuels third touchdown pass and second to Greene. Manuel found sophomore tight end Nick O’Leary for the ensuing two-point conversion to put FSU ahead by 6. • Sophomore nickel back Tyler Hunter nabbed his second interception of the game a few plays later off a Logan Thomas pass with 27 seconds left to seal the victory. • The Hokies held the Seminoles to just -15 yards rushing (fourth-worst in FSU history) and sacked Manuel five times, but the senior signal-caller passed for 326 yards on 25-of-42 passing. • Four plays before the game-winning score, James Wilder, Jr., ran for seven yards on a critical fourth-and-one conversion – FSU’s first fourth down conversion of the year. • Senior defensive end Cornellius Carradine had a game-high 11 tackles and one sack, while junior linebacker Christian Jones added nine stops. • Virginia Tech went ahead 22-20 on Cody Journell’s 21-yard field goal with 2:19 remaining in the game. • Senior kicker Dustin Hopkins drilled a pair of field goals and finished with eight points, leaving him just three points shy of setting the all-time NCAA record for kicker scoring. • The Seminoles led 13-10 at halftime after Manuel found Greene for the first time with 48 seconds remaining in the first half.

2012 SEASON RECAPS & BOX SCORES Game 11, NOV. 17 (10/6/10) Florida State 41, MARYLAND 14 COLLEGE PARK, MD.
Game 12, NOV. 22 (6/6/4) Florida 37, (10/5/10) Florida State 26 Tallahassee, FLA.
• Florida State moved to 10-1 for the first time since the 2000 season and reached the 10-win mark in the regular season for the first time since 2003. • The win clinched the Atlantic Division title of the ACC for FSU for the second time in Jimbo Fisher’s three seasons at the helm. • Florida State will play in the ACC title game with the win for the third time in school history (2005, 2010, 2012). • The Seminoles stormed out to a 27-0 lead after scoring 20 points in the first 15:09 of the game. • Senior placekicker Dustin Hopkins’ 26-yard field goal at the 14:51 mark of the second quarter gave Hopkins the record as the NCAA FBS all-time scorer as a kicker. Hopkins surpassed Boise State’s Kyle Brotzman (2007-10) who held the previous record with 439 points. With 11 points in the game, including nine points in the first half, Hopkins now stands at 448 career points, which is fourth all-time for scoring in the FBS among all players. • The Seminoles rushed for 237 yards against a Maryland defense that entered the game with a top 20 ranked rush defense. • Devonta Freeman finished the day with a career-best 148 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns for his fifth multi-score game in two seasons. • After completing 17-of-23 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, redshirt senior quarterback EJ Manuel moved up to fifth all-time in career completions (540) passing Danny Kannell (529) and ties for seventh all-time in career touchdown passes (45) with Christian Ponder. • Bjoern Werner continued wrecking havoc in the backfield when he picked up his ninth sack of the season to end Maryland’s first drive of the game. After half a sack in the second half, Werner has 33 tackles on the season, 14.5 coming for loss and 9.5 in sacks.
• Florida State lost to an in-state rival (Florida or Miami) for the first time since Jimbo Fisher took over the program and it was 1,091 days since FSU last lost to a team from the state of Florida. • Bjoern Werner had one of the most impressive games of his career registering 3.5 sacks, a fumble return and a career-high tying 6 tackles. • Tank Carradine led the Seminoles with 11 tackles on Saturday marking the fourth time that he has led the team in tackles this year. Carradine’s 11 tackles tied a career high set earlier this year at Virginia Tech. • Senior placekicker Dustin Hopkins connected on two PATs and his second 50-yard FG of the game in the third quarter moving the senior kicker into sole possession of third place on the all-time NCAA FBS all-player scoring record with 456 points. • Hopkins was the first Seminole to register two field goals of 50 yards or more in a single game (50 and 53) since 1985 when Derek Schmidt connected on two 51-yard field goals against Memphis. Hopkins now has nine FGs of 50 yards or more giving him the school record for the most career FGs from that distance and beyond surpassing Derek Schmidt, who tallied seven from 1984-87. • Senior wideout Rodney Smith made it 37 consecutive games with a catch as he was on the receiving end of a 4-yard catch with less than a minute left in the second quarter. E.G. Green (1994-97) has the school record for most consecutive games with a reception at 38. • Nick O’Leary was on the receiving end of Florida State’s first touchdown of the game as the sophomore tight end made a tremendous leaping catch for a six-yard TD catch on third down and goal. • Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel gave the Seminoles their first lead of the game in the third quarter scoring from 1-yard out to give FSU a 17-13 advantage. He then added a 22-yard rushing score on the last play of the game. It was Manuel’s 10th career rushing TD and third in 2012.

2012 SEASON RECAPS & BOX SCORES Game 13, Dec. 1 ACC Championship game (13/12/13) Florida State 21, Georgia Tech 15 charlotte, n.c. • Florida State won its 13th ACC Championship which trails only Clemson (14) for the most in conference history. The Seminoles are now 2-1 all-time in the ACC Championship Game. • Florida State advances to its ninth Orange Bowl. The Seminoles are 3-5 all-time in the Orange Bowl. This is also the seventh time FSU will play in a BCS Bowl. The last time FSU went to a BCS Bowl was the 2006 Orange Bowl, where it fell to Penn State, 26-23 (3 OT). • Led by sophomore running back James Wilder, Jr.’s 69-yard, two-touchdown MVP performance versus the Yellow Jackets, FSU notched 11 wins in a season for the 12th time in school history and the first time since 2000. • Florida State tallied 194 yards rushing compared to Georgia Tech’s 183 yards on the ground. The Yellow Jackets came into the game third in the NCAA in rushing at 323.3 yards/game. • Sophomore running back Devonta Freeman added 59 yards on the ground and a first quarter score, while quarterback EJ Manuel added 49 rushing yards. • After Freeman scored in the first quarter to put FSU ahead 7-0, Wilder tallied two rushing touchdowns in the second frame as Florida State took a 21-6 lead into halftime. • Sophomore safety Karlos Williams filled in at linebacker for Nick Moody, who was injured on the game’s first play. Williams had a career-best 11 tackles and made a game-sealing interception in the fourth quarter after the Yellow Jackets had cut the FSU lead to 21-15. • Junior linebacker Telvin Smith had a career-best matching 11 stops, while sophomore defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan tallied a career-high nine tackles. • Senior kicker Dustin Hopkins kicked three extra points and set a new ACC record for scoring in a season, breaking former Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams’ mark of 132 set in 2009.

ACC Preseason Predictions • The Seminoles have been picked to win the ACC Championship for the 16th time in 21 years in the conference. The league’s media are predicting a rematch of the inaugural ACC Dr. Pepper Championship game as Virginia Tech and FSU were tabbed to win the Coastal and Atlantic Divisions for the fourth straight year and sixth time in the last eight years. The media is picking the same outcome as well as FSU defeating Virginia Tech led all scenarios with 60 votes in the media poll. • The last time the Seminoles were picked to win the conference crown was 2011 and the last time before that was 2005. In 2005 FSU did just that winning the league’s first-ever ACC Championship game in Jacksonville, Fla. For the first 14 years Florida State was in the ACC, the Seminoles were picked to win the conference title each and every one of those seasons. Twelve times during that span FSU either won or shared the conference title. The only exceptions were in 2001 and 2004.in the ACC, the Seminoles were picked to win the conference title each and every one of those seasons
