But as far as questionable calls go, the Tigers' run to the 2 late, the runner's knee was down before he got out of bounds. So, but heck, blocked extra point to win the game?
Wow.
Edit, turns out, because they got the 1st down, they earned the last play for the score. Then what's the difference? What would have been different had he got out of bounds? Why the drama?
I hope you’re right. As someone who grew up loving ACC football, it’s been sad to see how quickly the Noles have fallen from grace.
Although, I personally don’t think they will do much against legitimate opponents in the SEC/Big Ten. They may do ok in the ACC. I think with Chip Kelly’s debut, the Noles will not have much of a chance against LSU. I hope I’m wrong though.
I have to come back to eat my words. Noles looked really impressive. Nice victory!
Great game! Nole fans showed out big time for a "road game". I was there and the fan count was at best 55/45 in favor of LSU, and the FSU side was much more into it and rocking the whole game!

Yeah...it really didn't matter. Either way the clock would have stopped and they had time for one play. My guess is the thought was the clock would run, but the 1st down negated that.
All in all this was one of those games don't know what to think about. Very happy we got the win, and there was marked improvement in just about every aspect. Special teams saved the day for sure, but we did miss a FG and have a couple bad kick offs. How is LSU as a team going to be though? Did we beat a good LSU team? Or did we beat a LSU team that is trending down? Game should have been out of reach between the missed FG and no points before halftime, but we couldn't do that. But we are at the "win close" stage of a rebuild, and if we follow the blue print good things will come.

I lived in Tallahassee for about 13 years. I remember during the Bowden Era when Chris Rix lost to Miami five times. I recall jogging to campus from near Tharpe St. and saw a sign by Tennessee St. that said "Chris Rix sucks". It was hilarious. This was around the time of the "wide right" series of close field-goal losses against the U. The Nole fans were very frustrated as Bowden's success went in decline by the mid 2000s.
By contrast, FSU actually won last weekend against LSU with a blocked field goal. I was VERY SURPRISED. It was surreal. They must have partied that night like "Frank the Tank" or Jim Morrison of the Doors (he attended FSU) back on Tennessee St.
But FSU has tough games coming up. Can they keep up the momentum? No doubt optimism is high. However, at some point they will have to play Florida.
I see Clemson and Miami as being tougher games than Florida, though all three are winnable. We nearly beat both Florida and Clemson last year, both on the road. We get both at Doak this year.
Great road win against Louisville tonight! Our best players on O and D went down with injuries, but the team never gave up. Tate Rodemaker showed out after a shaky start!
We need to get our FG situation fixed. We have won the last two games in spite of our FG kicking. I am all for going for it on 4th down if you feel it is the right call, but the FG game is making it so we have to go for it every time instead of being able to take points.
