Ok, this may be the greatest trivia fact in the history of trivia facts:

Deion Sanders, he of the HOF resume and dump truck-sized ego, had 14 career interceptions at Florida St and is tied on their all time list with:

Lee freaking Corso!

Almost drove off the road when I heard that one. Awesome.

Eliminating the spring transfer portal window for football is being considered. It's like the NCAA is now actively looking for ways to get sued.

Pat McAfee on Gameday just said he thinks NIL negotiations will eventually be at the school level and all schools will have a cap.  

Personally, I don't like that idea because IUFB would be kicked in the nuts if there were a cap implemented.

A pretty heavy dose of Jaylin Lucas on FSU's 1st drive in Dublin. Would have been really cool to see how it would have worked under Coach Cig had he stayed.

Did he get injured, because I have not seen much of him since?

He seems fine, they just have so much talent and are so deep that playing time is very competitive!

Jaylin Lucas’ new team? 0-1

Jaylin Lucas’ former team? Undefeated

For a few hours, Florida St is the worst team in college football

Lucas looked like a 170 lb back.

Got blown up in pass protection and never came back in on offense.

According to the box score Lucas ran twice for a total of 13 yards and caught one pass for 5 yards. Pretty pedestrian.

FSU was a 11.5 point favorite. Not a great start.

Was FSU playing with its starters?

Yes for sure. It was a great game and GTech is a pretty good team that won a bowl game last year and returned everyone from a very good o line

Yeah, their offensive and defensive lines flat handled FSU’s.

He wasn't good. He's a kickoff specialist. That's it.

I had FSU ranked 18th for a reason. Seemed like a good spot. They have the potential to be a Top 10-15 team but also to be a Top 30-35 team.

2 carries 13 yards; 1 reception 5 yards, 1 return 16 yards...whatever his FSU NIL package is...I am certain it is too much

I was just being a smart*** from FSU fans using that excuse after getting boat raced by Georgia in the Orange Bowl.

Love this. And that game didn’t look like an upset at all.

Sanders is a flake.  I think Colorado made a mistake by hiring him...but I have been wrong before.

You're not wrong. He is great at getting attention and creating hype. Results though??? Does anyone believe his routine is sustainable? I predict he's got 2, maybe 3 more season at CU before he's gone. 

With Shedeur and Travis gone after this year I think this will be it for him. The big question for me is what his next step is. If they go bowling this year, right or wrong, he'll have a ton of hype and I think would get another P4 gig if he leaves. Maybe another 4-win season keeps him around, but he isn't exactly setting the world on fire with his recruiting, especially of high school kids. It could get ugly (or uglier) in a hurry.
