4 HEAD COACH WILLIE TAGGART First Season at FSU 9th Season as Head Coach 20th Season Overall in FSU FOOTBALL INDEPENDENCE BOWL Florida native Willie Taggart, considered one of the best offensive minds in the country and a relentless recruiter, was named Florida State s 10th full-time head coach on Dec. 5, Taggart returns to the Sunshine State, where he was the head coach at the University of South Florida from , after one season as head coach at the University of Oregon. He began his head coaching career at his alma mater, Western Kentucky University, from after serving as an assistant from Between his tenures at Western Kentucky, he was an assistant coach at Stanford from Taggart has led remarkable turnarounds at each of his three previous head coaching positions. In the season prior to his hire, the programs Taggart inherited were a combined 7-29, and the best team he took over was a 4-8 Oregon squad. His overall record is 47-50, including a mark since the start of the 2015 season. In that same timespan, his offenses are averaging points per game, the fourth-highest total among FBS head coaches behind only Mike Gundy, Kliff Kingsbury and Urban Meyer. Taggart jumped out to a hot start at Oregon, leading the Ducks to a win in his first game in Eugene. The point total tied for the highest in the NCAA in 2017, was Oregon s highest since 1916 and included a school-record nine rushing touchdowns. The offensive fireworks continued as Oregon scored 42 first-half points in each of the first three games of the season, marking the first time in school history the program scored at least 42 points in one half in three straight games. The Ducks began the season 5-1 and completed a 7-5 regular season with another offensive explosion, defeating rival Oregon State for the team s seventh 40-point offensive output of the season. Oregon currently ranks in the top 30 in the NCAA in 11 different statistical categories, including boasting the eighth-best rushing offense in the country rushing for yards per game and the 18th-highest scoring offense averaging 36.7 points per game. On defense, the Ducks rank 17th in the country in fourth-down defense allowing a.391 conversion percentage and 20th in third-down defense at.324. The defense had one of the best performances of the season against Arizona s Khalil Tate, who ranks sixth in the NCAA with an average of rushing yards per game, holding him to only 32 yards rushing in a victory. Taggart, from nearby Bradenton, returned to the Tampa Bay area to take over a South Florida team that won three games in 2012 and turned the Bulls into one of the most exciting programs in the country by In his final year at the helm in Tampa, Taggart led South Florida to a 10-2 record and No. 25 ranking in the final regular season poll, the team s first ranking since 2011 and only the second time in program history the Bulls were ranked at the end of the regular season. His offense averaged 43.6 points per game, ranking seventh in the country, and was fifth in the nation averaging rushing yards per game. The 2016 season also marked the first time since 2010 the Bulls qualified for back-to-back bowl games. With Taggart serving as the primary play caller, his offense broke 33 program records in 2016, including scoring, total touchdowns, total yards, rushing yards, yards per play, yards per rush and points per game. Quarterback Quinton Flowers was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year after becoming the first USF player to post 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in the same season, highlighting a program-record 10 all-conference selections. Taggart helped build the offensive juggernaut with the top-ranked recruiting classes in the AAC in both 2014 and He also oversaw a vast improvement in the classroom while at USF, which improved its Graduation Success Rate in each of his four seasons and boasted a program-record 38 academic all-conference honorees in His first head coaching job was one of the most difficult reclamation projects in the country, taking over his alma mater that had lost 20 games in a row. He quickly led Western Kentucky to its first two winning seasons since transitioning from FCS to FBS and in 2012 saw the program reach its first bowl game. The Hilltoppers had a 12-2 stretch from Oct through Oct with their only two losses coming to the No. 1-ranked teams in the country (LSU and Alabama). Taggart again made a splash in recruiting as he signed the top class in the Sun Belt in 2010 and Prior to being named head coach at WKU, Taggart was the running backs coach at Stanford, where he helped tutor 2009 Doak Walker Award winner, Pac- 10 Offensive Player of the Year and consensus first-team All-American Toby Gerhart. That year, Gerhart s average of rushing yards per game helped the Cardinal rank second in the Pac-10 and 11th in the nation with yards per game on the ground and break the school s single-season rushing record that had stood for 60 years with 2,481 total yards. The team also led the Pac-10 in total offense with an average of yards per game. Taggart s time as an assistant at Western Kentucky started in 1999 as wide receivers coach before shifting to coach quarterbacks in 2000, a position group he continued to coach for the rest of his time at WKU. He added co-offensive coordinator duties for the 2001 and 2002 seasons and served as assistant head coach for his final four years. Taggart helped direct an offense that set school records with 432 points, 5,749 yards of total offense and 263 first downs on the way to the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA national championship. That season, the Hilltoppers ranked second in the nation in pass efficiency and sixth in rushing yards per game. The offense saved its best performances for the playoffs, where it averaged 38.8 points per game in the four postseason wins. Under Taggart s guidance from , quarterback Justin Haddix set school records with 8,890 yards of total offense, a 57.1 completion percentage, 50 touchdowns and a pass efficiency rating. Haddix also ranked second in program history with 541 completions and 7,929 passing yards. Taggart transitioned to coaching after authoring a playing career that ranks among the best in school history. He was the program s starting quarterback all four years and broke 11 school records, highlighted by his 47 rushing touchdowns, and left school holding the NCAA Division I record for rushing yards by a quarterback. He also ranked second in program history with 286 points, a pass efficiency rating and 3,997 rushing yards and tied for third with yard rushing games and for fourth with 30 touchdown passes. Taggart was recruited to Western Kentucky following a prep career at Bradenton s Manatee High School. There, he was a first-team all-state and all-conference selection as a senior after directing the Hurricanes to the 5A state championship game. He earned his bachelor s degree in social sciences from Western Kentucky in Taggart and his wife, Taneshia, have two sons, Willie Jr. and Jackson, and one daughter, Morgan. SEMINOLES.COM 3

5 2017 FSU FOOTBALL INDEPENDENCE BOWL Odell Haggins was named Florida State s interim head coach on Dec. 1, 2017, and the next day led the Seminoles to a victory over ULM that clinched bowl eligibility for the 36th straight year. Haggins, the longest-tenured member of the Florida State coaching staff, was promoted to associate head coach in 2014 and has helped FSU post a (.759) record in his time on staff. He is in his 24th season at the school where he starred on the defensive line from 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 and helped the Seminoles to a pair of national titles in 1999 and Haggins has repeatedly developed future NFL pros while at Florida State. He has coached 17 defensive linemen that have been selected in the NFL Draft, including recent second-round picks Eddie Goldman (Chicago Bears, 2015) and Timmy Jernigan (Baltimore Ravens, 2014) and first-rounders Brodrick Bunkley (2006), Travis Johnson (2005), Corey Simon (2000) and Andre Wadsworth (1998). In 2015, Nile Lawrence-Stample captured All-ACC first team honors and signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns following the season. The 2017 version of FSU s defensive line was a dominant force in the middle as senior Derrick Nnadi and redshirt junior Demarcus Christmas teamed up to wreak havoc in opponents backfields. Nnadi was a third-team All-ACC selection after setting career-high marks with 51 tackles and 9.0 tackles for loss. He also added 3.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. Christmas also posted career highs of 35 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss. Led by Nnadi and Christmas, the defensive line enjoyed yet another successful season under Haggins in The Seminoles ranked first in the nation in sacks per game, while ranking fifth in the ACC in rushing defense. Under the guidance of Haggins, Nnadi was a first-team All-ACC selection, while Christmas, sophomore Walvenski Aimè and sophomore Fred Jones were all productive from the interior tackle spots. Haggins defensive line anchored one of the nation s best defenses in The Seminoles ranked ninth in the country in scoring defense, 19th in total defense and 21st in passing defense. Most impressively, FSU allowed only 10 rushing touchdowns, fifth-fewest in the country, and improved from 17 sacks in 2014 to 32 in Nnadi joined Lawrence-Stample on the all-conference squad, snagging third team accolades, while Christmas emerged as a potential star. In 2014, Haggins oversaw a young interior defensive front line anchored by Goldman. Despite the youth on the defensive front, the Seminole defense still ranked in the top 30 in the country in six different categories. Goldman tallied a team-high 4.0 sacks, 8.0 tackles for loss and 35 total stops. He captured third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a first-team All-ACC selection. The Seminoles advanced to the first-ever College Football Playoff, set a Florida State record with a 29-game winning streak and captured the program s third straight ACC championship. After Lawrence-Stample was injured in the season s third game, Haggins got great production from redshirt junior Derrick Mitchell Jr., senior Desmond Hollin and Nnadi. A staunch interior defense played a prominent role in helping Florida State to its third national championship in the 2013 season. Jernigan, the Noles star nose guard, enjoyed another fine season as he earned All-America nods from several organizations including the Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press and USA TODAY. The high-powered run-stuffer in the trenches led a defensive front that surrendered just seven rushing touchdowns, the fewest in the nation. Florida State s defensive tackles paved the way for the nation s top scoring defense and the third-best total defense. The work of the front four was noticeable on several fronts, including allowing just yards per game to opposing rushers. Opponents averaged just 3.3 yards per rush against the stout defensive front of the Seminoles, and FSU continued its strong pass rush, racking up 35 sacks. Following the 2013 season, Jernigan was the 48th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Ravens, while two other veteran standout defensive tackles, Jacobbi McDaniel and Demonte McAllister, signed professional contracts as free agents. The 2012 season saw three Seminole defensive tackles earn All-ACC honors with senior Everett Dawkins and sophomore Jernigan capturing second-team recognition while senior Anthony McCloud picked up honorable-mention accolades. In part due to suffocating pressure up front, the Seminoles ranked second in the nation in total defense in 2012, yielding just yards per contest. FSU allowed opposing running backs just 2.75 yards per carry, which tied for fourth in the country. Haggins has been able to build depth with his interior defensive line group that at one point in 2011 was four-deep at each position. That season, his regular rotation of McCloud, Dawkins, Cameron Erving and freshman All-American Jernigan produced 100 tackles, including 16.5 behind the line of scrimmage. FSU s run defense allowed opposing backs to average just 2.35 yards per carry, which led all 120 FBS programs. The Seminoles ranked fourth nationally in total defense. Haggins helped produce one of the best defensive lines in the nation in 2010 as the Seminoles ranked third in the nation in quarterback sacks per game, 21st in tackles for loss and 42nd in total defense. The Seminoles tied with Boise State for first nationally in total sacks with 48. Named one of the six best defensive line coaches in college football by CBS Sports in 2008, Haggins has repeatedly turned out top-flight talent with Bunkley, Johnson, Simon and Wadsworth all being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The No. 3 overall pick in the 1998 draft, Wadsworth remained the highest drafted player in FSU history until Jameis Winston was selected No. 1 overall in In addition to the first-rounders, Haggins pupils have also included Pro Bowler Darnell Dockett, Larry Smith, Andre Fluellen, Jerry Johnson, Julian Pittman and Letroy Guion. Most recently, Goldman was selected with the 39th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. Haggins 1999 defensive front included future NFL standouts Simon and Johnson, who were instrumental in FSU s 12-0 run to the national championship. The Seminoles boasted the nation s top-ranked defense in 1998 and the No. 1 rushing defense in 1996 and The 2008 defense ranked first nationally in tackles for loss. Haggins has won at every level as a player and a coach. He was on the front end of Florida State s dynasty years, starring at nose guard for the Seminoles. FSU posted a record with Haggins in the lineup from and he was part of four bowl-winning teams. He earned Kodak, Walter Camp and UPI All-America honors as a senior in A ninth-round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Haggins went on to play for the Buffalo Bills during their 1991 Super Bowl season. Following a three-year NFL career, he returned to Florida State, completed his degree and joined Bobby Bowden s staff following the Seminoles 1993 national championship season. As an assistant coach, Haggins has established himself as an outstanding recruiter, developer of talent and a role model to his players. He earned ACC Top Recruiter of the Year honors from ESPN in For the fourth consecutive year, Haggins was named one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in In 2016, Haggins captured the same top-25 mention from 247Sports. Haggins and his wife, Robin, have one daughter, Amelia Grace. INTERIM HEAD COACH ODELL HAGGINS Second game as Interim Head Coach 24th Season at Florida State 4 SEMINOLES.COM

LAWRENCE DAWSEY CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/WRs Lawrence Dawsey is in his 11th season leading the wide receivers on the Florida State coaching staff. Following the 2013 undefeated national championship season, Dawsey was named co-offensive coordinator. In 2017, FSU receivers combined for over 2,300 yards through the air and hauled in 17 touchdowns behind quarterback Deondre Francois and true freshman James Blackman, who led the offense after a season-ending injury to Francois in the opener vs. No. 1 Alabama. Led by junior Nyqwan Murray s 40 catches for 604 yards and four touchdowns, the offense saw six players catch double-digit passes. Junior Auden Tate continued to make significant strides in his development under Dawsey. Battling injuries, Tate finished with 35 catches for 464 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns. Tate would haul in a touchdown in each of the team s first five games.

From , Dawsey was a fan favorite in his four seasons as a Seminole wide receiver. During his time in the garnet and gold, Dawsey was a member of the first four 10-win, top-five poll finishes in school history. RICK TRICKETT BILL MILLER BRAD LAWING RANDY SANDERS CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QBs Randy Sanders is in his fifth season as Florida State's quarterbacks coach. Prior to the 2014 season, he was named co-offensive coordinator alongside wide receivers coach Lawrence Dawsey. With redshirt sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois suffering a season-ending injury in week one, Sanders led the development of true freshman signal-caller James Blackman, who finished third in the country in passing yards by a freshman, throwing for 1,997 yards while adding 15 touchdowns and completing 57.2 percent of his passes. Sanders quarterbacks often get better as the game goes on. Blackman threw for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter against rival Miami. He also threw for a career-long 60-yard touchdown in the second half on the road against defending national champion Clemson. Blackman became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Seminoles since Chip Ferguson in 1985 after he earned his first career start in the home opener against NC State. Coached by Sanders, quarterback Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy in 2013, leading the Noles to an undefeated season and their first national championship since The Noles scored an FBS-record 723 points, while their 7,267 yards of total offense set a new school and ACC record.

Sanders joined the Seminoles after a short stint at Kentucky, where he was the Wildcats offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach since Serving time at Kentucky and Tennessee as offensive coordinator, Sanders has been to 26 bowl games in his career. RICK TRICKETT ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/OL One of the best and most respected offensive line coaches in all of college football, Rick Trickett is in his 11th season at Florida State and his 45th season overall in He is known nationally to identify, recruit and successfully develop talent at the offensive line position. Leading the way for the two-headed monster duo of junior running back Jacques Patrick and freshman running back Cam Akers, the offensive line paved the way for the two to combine for 1,617 yards and 13 touchdowns. Akers' 930 yards is the second-most by a freshman in school history, earning him third-team All-ACC honors. The O-Line also was crucial in the protection of true freshman quarterback James Blackman, who finished third in the country in passing yards by a freshman, totaling 1,997 yards and 15 TDs. Under the tutelage of Trickett, the offensive line secured over 400 total yards of offense five times, including a 504-yard performance in the home finale against ULM. Center Alec Eberle provided the anchor of the offensive line, where he was named second-team All-ACC. The redshirt junior was named to the preseason Rimington and Outland watch lists, while starting 31 consecutive games dating back to the 2015 season. Eberle has proved to be an example in the community, earning a spot last year on the AFCA s Good Works Team and named to the Wuerffel watch list for community service. Since 2011, nine offensive linemen have been drafted to the NFL under Trickett, including first-round selection Cam Erving (19th, 2015).

BILL MILLER LINEBACKERS Bill Miller is in his fourth season as the linebackers coach at Florida State, with an experienced background of 38 years of collegiate coaching experience. Throughout the duration of his career, Miller has worked alongside some of the greatest minds in the history of college football, including Nick Saban (Michigan State), Jimmy Johnson (Oklahoma State) and Butch Davis (Miami). Matthew Thomas and Ro Derrick Hoskins headlined a linebacker corps of a defense that finished in the top-35 in eight different categories, including passing efficiency defense and tackles for loss. Thomas provided leadership under Miller, as he finished with a team-leading 85 tackles while also contributing 10 TFL, two sacks and a blocked kick. The Bednarik Award watch list recipient posted career highs in tackles, TFL, sacks and interceptions. Hoskins posted 42 tackles, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble, including a career-high nine tackles against No. 1 Alabama and NC State. Miller led the development of Adonis Thomas and Dontavious Jackson, who each earned time to further build depth.

The Hutchinson, Kansas, native has coached seven players that eventually become first-round draft picks. SEMINOLES.COM BRAD LAWING DEFENSIVE ENDS/OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS Brad Lawing is in his third season as the defensive ends and outside linebackers coach at Florida State, spending the previous nine seasons in the SEC under Steve Spurrier at South Carolina and Will Muschamp at Florida.

Sweat led all Seminole pass rushers in sacks (5.5) after being named to the preseason Nagurski Award watch list. He played at his best against the top competition, tallying sacks against Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts and 2016 Heisman Trophy-winning Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. Kaindoh, a true freshman, took tremendous strides in his development under Lawing. Kaindoh finished third on the team in sacks (4.0), all coming in an ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week-performance against Delaware State. The freshman defensive end produced at least one tackle in the team s final 10 games. Under Lawing, the Noles have combined for 112 sacks in the last three years, seventh-most in that span. Prior to arriving in Tallahassee, Lawing oversaw the development of some of the top pass rushers in the last decade, including Jadeveon Clowney at South Carolina into the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft. He also has developed first-round talent Dante Fowler (2015, No. 3), Dominique Easley (2014, No. 29) and Melvin Ingram (2013, No. 18). 5

8 2017 FSU FOOTBALL INDEPENDENCE BOWL GAME NOTES: OFFENSE (22 games) RARE 300-YARD RUSHING PERFORMANCE Buoyed by the 100-yard rushing games of Jacques Patrick (155) and Cam Akers (117), Florida State s offense cranked out the first 300-yard rushing game of the season in their bowl-clinching victory over ULM. The Noles rushed for 305 yards on 45 carries and powered into the end zone five times. It was FSU s first 300-yard rushing game since Nov. 19, 2016 at Syracuse (45-334, 4 TDs) and just the eighth 300-yard game in the last 10 seasons. FSU s five rushing touchdowns equaled its season high on the ground (Delaware State). Ten of the Noles 17 rushing TDs this season have come in those two games. It marked the 10th time in 10 seasons the Noles have rushed for 5 or more TDs in a game. The last time the Noles rushed for more than 5 TDs in a game came against USF on Sept. 24, 2016, when they ran up 478 yards on the ground with 6 rushing TDs. That was also the last time FSU had two backs eclipse 100 yards in the same game. PATRICK REGAINING FORM Junior tailback Jacques Patrick turned in the second-highest rushing performance of his career when he powered his way to 155 yards on 19 carries, including a pair of TD runs, against ULM. Patrick led the Noles in rushing for the second consecutive game, continuing his bounce-back from a mid-season injury which kept him out of the lineup for two games. Over his last four games, Patrick has 253 rushing yards and five TDs. Patrick s performance against ULM came on a day when the Noles piled up a season-high 305 yards on the ground. Both he and true freshman Cam Akers (117) ran for more than 100 yards, the first time FSU produced a pair of 100-yard games since Patrick (124) and Dalvin Cook (267) did it against USF in With two rushing TDs, Patrick is tied for 20th place on FSU s career rushing TD list with 15. Patrick ranks second on the team with 687 rushing yards, 118 carries and six touchdowns. His 1,351 career rushing yards leaves him just 254 shy of cracking FSU s all-time top 20. BLACKMAN TOP TRUE FRESHMAN PASSER IN FSU HISTORY True freshman QB James Blackman has six TD passes over the past three games after teaming with classmate D.J. Matthews on a 14-yard scoring connection in the first quarter against ULM. Blackman has recorded the most passing yards (1,997) and TD passes (15) by an FSU true freshman in program history. Blackman has the edge over Chip Ferguson, FSU's last true freshman starting quarterback in 1985, in completion percentage ( ), having connected on 155-of-271 attempts. Ferguson completed 70-of-130 attempts in his first season at FSU. Blackman had his first three-td passing performance against Delaware State and now has eight TD passes and four interceptions over the past five games, with at least one TD toss in each of those contests. LINE CONTINUITY & OFFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT Continuity along the offensive line is both critical and rare, and the 2017 Seminoles appear to be reaping the benefits. Line coach Rick Trickett has been able to send the same unit - Josh Ball (LT), Derrick Kelly II (LG), Alec Eberle (C), Cole Mishew (RG) and Rick Leonard (RT) out as starters for eight consecutive games. That s the longest streak of consecutive starts by the same five players since the 2013 National Championship season when Cameron Erving (LT), Josue Matias (LG), Bryan Stork (C), Tre' Jackson (RG) and Bobby Hart (RT) started the final 12 games. Over the final eight games, FSU has improved its record (5-3 to 1-3), PPG ( ), YPG ( ) and third down conversions ( ), while allowing two sacks fewer per game. TATE WORKING ON A NEW STREAK Junior receiver Auden Tate extended his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 11, collecting a pair of James Blackman passes for 23 yards against ULM. Tate leads the Noles with 7 TD receptions and has 13 over the course of his career, three shy of moving into a tie for 19th on FSU s all-time list. He is one TD reception this year from a tie for 19th on the single-season TD receptions list. Tate ranks second on the team with 35 receptions and 464 yards.

9 2017 FSU FOOTBALL INDEPENDENCE BOWL GAME NOTES: OFFENSE AKERS CLOSING ON COOK'S FROSH RECORD Tailback Cam Akers needs 79 rushing yards against Southern Miss in the bowl game to pass Dalvin Cook for the Seminoles freshman single-season rushing record. The Clinton, Miss., native rushed for 117 yards on 19 carries against ULM his fourth 100-yard game of the season - to move past Greg Allen and into the No. 2 spot on the freshman rushing list. Akers four 100-yard rushing performances are the second-most all-time among FSU freshmen. FSU True Freshman Rushing Leaders Player Year Rushes Yards YPC TD 100-yd Games Dalvin Cook Cam Akers Greg Allen Akers had touchdowns of 54 and 63 yards vs. Syracuse, just the second time at FSU that a player ran for two 50-yard touchdowns in a game (Chris Thompson vs. Wake Forest, 2012, 74 and 80). From the moment Akers signed with Florida State, it was suggested that he may be the heir-apparent to all-time rushing leader Dalvin Cook. Through 12 games there is mounting evidence that the two share similar big-play ability, especially when comparing their freshman season performances.

21 2017 FSU FOOTBALL INDEPENDENCE BOWL SEASON IN REVIEW STATS 2017 TEAM FSU RECORDS FSU BOWL HISTORY GAME RECAPS Saturday, November 25, 2017 Florida State 38, Florida 22 Gainesville, Fla. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium FSU won for the fifth straight time against Florida and the fourth consecutive time in Gainesville. Both of those are FSU highs against the Gators. FSU improved to 7-1 against the Gators since This game was the first time since 1988 that FSU scored two non-offensive touchdowns in a game against Florida and the first time ever that FSU has scored two defensive touchdowns against the Gators (62 games). Jacob Pugh s fumble recovery for a touchdown was his third career fumble recovery. The score was the first of his career. Brian Burns sack on Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks was his fourth of the season and 13th of his career. Burns forced the fumble that led to Pugh s touchdown. Burns has three of FSU s seven forced fumbles this season. Burns added 2.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups. Cornerback Levonta Taylor s interception on the final play of the first quarter was his first career takeaway. His second was in the second quarter, an 18-yard interception return for a touchdown. He is the first Seminole since Pugh against Notre Dame in 2014 with two interceptions in a game. Stanford Samuels III recorded his first career sack, a seven-yard loss in the second quarter. FSU converted all four Florida turnovers into touchdowns. FSU entered the game with just 24 points off turnovers on the season. The four takeaways are the most for the FSU defense since forcing four in the 2016 season opener against Ole Miss Score Florida State Florida SCORING SUMMARY First Quarter 10:52 FSU Pugh 16 yd fumble recovery (Aguayo kick) FSU 7, UF 0 4:03 UF Thompson 10 yd run (Pineiro kick), :52 FSU 7, UF 7 Second Quarter 14:24 FSU Murray 21 yd pass from Blackman (Aguayo kick), :36 FSU 14, UF 7 7:47 FSU Aguayo 25 yd field goal, :25 FSU 17, UF 7 3:46 FSU Taylor 18 yd interception return (Aguayo kick) FSU 24, UF 7 0:29 UF Powell 4 yd pass from Franks (Pineiro kick blocked), :11 FSU 24, UF 13 Third Quarter 5:52 UF Pineiro 45 yd field goal, :20 FSU 24, UF 16 Fourth Quarter 11:21 FSU Akers 10 yd run (Aguayo kick), :00 FSU 31, UF 16 7:33 FSU Tate 3 yd pass from Blackman (Aguayo kick), :30 FSU 38, UF 16 0:37 UF Powell 6 yd pass from Franks (Townsend rush failed), :38 FSU 38, UF 22 Saturday, December 2, 2017 ULM 10, Florida State 42 Tallahassee, Fla.

It was Haggins' first game as acting head coach after being a Seminole assistant since Defensive back Stanford Samuels III made his first career start, the fourth true freshman to start in 2017 (QB James Blackman, RB Cam Akers and DB Hamsah Nasirildeen). Redshirt senior defensive back Nate Andrews made his 22nd career start and first of Running back Jacques Patrick had 155 rushing yards, his fourth career 100-yard game and second this season. Cam Akers added 117 yards on the ground, the first time since USF in 2016 that FSU had a pair of 100-yard running backs. Akers finished with two touchdowns, tying a career high. He has 930 yards on the season and trails Dalvin Cook by 79 for the FSU freshman rushing record (1,008, 2014). Defensive back Levonta Taylor had four tackles (all in the first half), tying his career high (at NC State, 2016). Receiver D.J. Matthews caught his second career pass - and first career touchdown - to give FSU a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. Senior receiver Ermon Lane tied a career high with three catches for 45 yards. Lane also caught three passes as a freshman against The Citadel before playing as a defensive back in 2016 and early in Derwin James finished with 12 tackles, his second double-digit tackle game of the season.
