Noles #Noles
Florida State fell 63-3 to Georgia in the Orange Bowl on Saturday night.
That means FSU now owns the all-time college football record for most lopsided loss in a bowl game. The 60-point loss broke the previous record, which was set by Georgia’s 58-point win over TCU in last year’s national title game.
After picking up an early field goal to make it 14-3 in the second quarter, the Noles never got it going offensively. Quarterback Brock Glenn completed just 9-of-26 passes and threw 2 interceptions in what was his second career start.
FSU rushed for just 63 yards on 26 attempts. The Noles were missing their top three running backs from the regular season in this game. Ja’Khi Douglas, who normally plays receiver for Florida State, led the team with 46 yards on eight carries.
As bad as Florida State was offensively, the defense may have been worse. Georgia put up 42 points in the first half, including 35 in the second quarter alone. The Bulldogs averaged 10.9 yards per play before the break and 8.9 yards per play for the entire game.
