Social media reacts to FSU's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh

For the second time in seven days, the Florida State Seminoles have won a road game. FSU beat the Pittsburgh Panthers 16-10 on Friday night in Acrisure Stadium, improving to 2-0 under interim head coach Rick Stickstoll. Ernie Sims continues to elevate the defense, which once again ended the game with a turnover on downs. FSU improved to 5-5 with the win and is one win away from making a bowl game for the first time since 2023. The Seminoles had to work to beat the Panthers, who outgained them 306-260. Pittsburgh was unable to overcome its own mistakes, committing seven penalties for 70 yards, turning it over once, and going 6-19 on third and fourth down. FSU's defense was able to capitalize on the miscues, holding them to just 4.3 yards per play and giving up set three points in the second half. The win had FSU fans fired up, with them flocking to social media to celebrate back-to-back road wins and praising the work Stockstill and Sims have done since taking over. Here is a look at how FSU fans reacted to the win. FSU beats Pittsburgh Bringing home a W from the Steel City! #NoleFamily pic.twitter.com/scDhtIJg2h —

Former FSU quarterback turns heads with breakout performance

Former Florida State quarterback Luke Kromenhoek delivered the best performance of his college career Thursday night, accounting for more than 400 yards of offense and four touchdowns in South Florida's 52-41 loss to Memphis. Making his second consecutive start for the Bulls , Kromenhoek completed 22 of 37 passes for a career-high 271 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while adding a career-best 146 rushing yards and another touchdown on 30 carries. The former Seminole finished with 416 total yards, nearly engineering a remarkable comeback after USF fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter. Kromenhoek connected with wide receiver Mudia Reuben for two second-quarter touchdowns before finding running back Jason Collins Jr. for a 13-yard score in the third quarter. His biggest moment came late in the third quarter when he capped a 75-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown run, tying the game at 38. For Florida State fans, Kromenhoek's emergence is particularly noteworthy given his brief but intriguing stint in Tallahassee. A former four-star prospect from Savannah, Georgia, Kromenhoek signed with the Seminoles as part of their 2024 recruiting class. He appeared in six games during Florida State's disappointing 2-10 campaign, starting twice and completing 44 of 84 passes

What Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said about FSU football after loss

The Florida State Seminoles got their revenge against the Pittsburgh Panthers , winning 16-10 on Friday night at Acrisure Stadium. FSU improved to 5-5 with the win, their second straight on the road, dropping Pitt to 6-4. Pittsburgh led 7-6 at halftime, but the Panthers managed just three points and 125 yards of offense in the second half. They gained 85 yards on the ground in the first half, but just 64 after the break, averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Pittsburgh head coach Pa Narduzzi was asked if FSU made any adjustments at half to stop the run game, and he admitted he didn't think so. Yeah, I can't say I saw anything different in what they did than what we prepared for, to be honest with you. We'll look at the videotape. What we saw on tape is what we thought they would probably do, and they did it. It was a frustrating loss for Narduzzi, whose defense held FSU to just 260 yards of offense and 13 points on four red zone trips. He discussed their struggles on third and fourth down, the play of quarterback Corey Dailey, and more. Read his full comments below. Pat Narduzzi's opening

FSU head coach hot board 2.0

The FSU Seminoles have hired Jeff Purinton as their athletic director, and they have shifted their focus to finding their next head coach. He was the final piece they needed and is set to lead the search, alongside University President Richard McCullough, Board of Trustees Chair Peter Collins, and Daniel Parker of Parker Executive Search. The work can get started in earnest, although Purinton admitted on Tuesday that most of the work will not be public, as coaches are never willing to have conversations with another school during the season. Some of that has already taken place, with one candidate signing an extension and removing his name from the race. The Seminoles will not have a ton of time to make the hire, with the early signing period set to start on Dec. 2, giving them just a few days to get someone in after they end the season against the Florida Gators on Nov. 27 and most teams ending the regular season on Nov. 28. The transfer portal, which will be key for FSU to rebuild its roster, will open on Jan.4. Here is an updated look at the top names to watch as FSU football's head coaching search

Keys to an FSU win at Pittsburgh on Friday

Your browser does not support the audio element. In the preseason, most considered Pittsburgh a contender to face Miami in the ACC Championship game, but a season-ending knee injury to sophomore quarterback Mason Heintschel led to three consecutive Pitt losses. The Panthers were far more potent in the 4.5 games prior to the-injury, which occurred half way through a win at Virginia Tech. The offense was averaging 39.55 points and the defense holding folks to 12.22. But in the 4.5 games since, the offensive production has fallen to 24.22. And the defense, while still dangerous, isn’t nearly as stingy, giving up 27.79 points, 15.5 points more than in the 4.5 game before the injury.

ESPN delivers prediction for FSU basketball following Florida loss

Florida State men's basketball will look to rebound from its first loss of the 2026-27 season Friday evening to Florida, and ESPN expects the Seminoles to get back in the win column. According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor , Florida State has an 89.3% chance of defeating Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at the Donald L. Tucker Center, leaving the visiting Islanders with just a 10.7% chance of pulling off the upset. The projection comes after Florida State (2-1) suffered an 81-72 defeat to No. 1 Florida on Tuesday night, a game that exposed several areas head coach Luke Loucks hopes to address. Despite keeping the contest competitive, the Seminoles struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just 4-of-21 three-point attempts. Florida also controlled the rebounding battle 41-29, limiting FSU's ability to capitalize on defensive stops. Sebastian Rancik continued his impressive start to the season with a game-high 23 points, while Anthony Robinson II added 19 points and three assists. Friday's opponent, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (2-1), enters the matchup riding a two-game winning streak following victories over Louisiana and Dallas Christian. The Islanders recently dominated Dallas Christian 102-58, shooting 53.2% from the field while collecting 51 rebounds. Their performance on the glass could
