What Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien said after losing to FSU

The FSU Seminoles beat the Boston College Eagles on Saturday, snapping their three-game losing streak. The Seminoles overcame a slow start to take a halftime lead, holding on to win 31-24 and getting their first road win since the 2023 season. The second quarter was their best offensive performance of the season, with them scoring 21 points to take the lead. Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien was asked about it after the game and credited FSU's rushing attack in his post-game press conference that Boston College posted on YouTube . They ran the ball. We didn't stop the run very well. Quarterback run, not sure how much we gave up. I think we gave up a decent amount of rushing yardage. It was tough, you know, it was tough. The quarter was the turning point of the game, with FSU gaining 149 of their 380 yards. They ran the ball 14 times for 74 yards, with all three of their touchdowns coming on the ground. The Seminoles finished the game with 202 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Freshman Amari Thomas led the way with 98 yards and two scores.

What is FSU's record under interim head coaches?

Rick Stockstill was named FSU's interim head coach on Sunday, becoming just the second interim head coach in program history. It is actually the third time the Seminoles have needed an interim head coach, with Odell Haggins doing so in 2017 and 2019. Stockstill will look to replicate Haggins' success in the role, but he wil have big shoes to fill. Haggins went 2-0 in 2017 after he took over when Jimbo Fisher resigned so he could take over the Texas A&M Aggies . He followed that up by going 3-1 in 2019 after Willie Taggart was fired, with their only loss coming to the No. 8 Florida Gators . The Seminoles won his first game each year, crushing the ULM Warhawks 42-10 in 2017 and getting FSU bowl-eligible. Their first game in 2019 was actually against the Boston College Eagles, with FSU pulling out a 38-31 road win thanks to some heroics from Jordan Travis. While James Blackmon led the passing attack, Travis showed what he could do with his legs. He led the Seminoles with 94 yards and two touchdowns on just three carries. Blackmon also had plenty of success, completing 18 of his 26 passes for 346

Stockstill’s family, friends celebrate FSU win, see ‘Vintage Bowden’

For the Stockstill siblings, Rick’s debut as Florida State’s interim head coach Saturday brought plenty of nerves, pride and memories. Bonnie Good watched on pins and needles from her Lake Mary home, surrounded by family and friends, as her older brother led the Seminoles to a 31-24 comeback victory over Boston College . Beside her was husband Mike Good, who knew Stockstill long before they became family. The two were FSU teammates, part of a generation shaped by Bobby Bowden as the Seminoles began their rise toward national prominence. “It was extremely nerve-wracking,” Bonnie told the Tallahassee Democrat. “Many prayers were sent up, and just so excited and thankful that he got this opportunity because he loves FSU. He put his heart and soul into it, and just to see him live out his lifetime dream, it was so exciting.” Younger brother Jeff, 65, who won a national championship as a Clemson player in the 1982 Orange Bowl, had four televisions in his New Smyrna Beach home tuned to the ACC Network for the noon kickoff in Massachusetts. Afterward, Jeff sent his brother a congratulatory text with a historical footnote. When Stockstill’s Middle Tennessee State team beat No. 25 Miami

FSU 'not expected' to consider Jimbo Fisher in head coach search

The FSU Seminoles are in the early stages of their head coaching search after firing Mike Norvell on Sunday. While several potential candidates have downplayed their interest in the opening, that is not the case with Jimbo Fisher. The former FSU head coach has not shied away from expressing his interest in returning to Tallahassee, with former players and fans voicing their support for him on social media. There are just as many fans opposed to his return after his messy exit and failure with the Texas A&M Aggies . While his interest is apparent, the most important factor is whether or not FSU is interested in bringing him back. A recent report from Warchant's Ira Schoffel and Matt LaSerre seems to indicate that he is not a top candidate and may not even be in the mix at all. Two sources with knowledge of the situation strongly downplayed the university’s interest in a reunion with Fisher, who was Florida State ’s head coach from 2010-17, with one going so far to say he is not expected to be in the running. Fisher can make a compelling case for why he should be on the short list. He led them

Tiger Woods on hand as son Charlie Woods makes Florida State decision official

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. ― Legendary professional golfer Tiger Woods was on hand to witness his son, Charlie Woods , during a milestone day. The younger Woods donned a Florida State cap ― paired with a big smile ― during a signing day ceremony at Benjamin High School , headlining Class of 2027 student-athletes being recognized for their collegiate decisions ahead of National Signing Day. Tiger Woods was present with other family members, as well as Robert McNamara, Executive Vice President of TGR, Tiger Woods Ventures, as they applauded Charlie and other Benjamin athletes during the signing ceremony. The group took photos together afterwards, and Tiger gave his son a trademark fist-bump once the ceremony was completed. The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods signed with Florida State on Friday during a National Signing Day ceremony at The Benjamin School, nine months after verbally committing to the Seminoles in February. Woods ultimately chose FSU over offers from programs around the country and will take a different path than his father, who played two years at Stanford. At Florida State, Woods will join Miles Russell, one of the top players in the Class of 2027, giving the Seminoles one of the more
