GAME BALL GOES TO: DB Michael Ray Garvin -- He had a good day returning kickoffs. He averaged 37.5 yards on four returns, and at one point in the third quarter, he had more kickoff return yards (150) than the Seminoles had in offense (110). His longest return was 63 yards and followed Florida's touchdown on the game's opening series. But the Seminoles failed to capitalize on the great opportunity to tie the game and had to settle for a field goal.

KEEP AN EYE ON: WR Jarmon Fortson -- The true freshman produced the Seminoles' two longest plays from scrimmage. He had a 22-yard run on an end-around pitch and caught a 42 yard pass from Drew Weatherford on a perfectly timed post route.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "The coaches weren't on the field playing. The coaches didn't have pads on, it was the players. The coaches, they get paid a lot and this and that, but at the end of the day, the players are the ones who have to go out there and execute the plan, believe in the plan and make the plan work." -- FSU DE Everette Brown on the criticism that FSU coaches did not have the team well prepared.
