Florida State football, recruiting news: Bring on the Florida Gators

FSU’s most hated rival is all that stands between it and bowl eligibility

Syndication: Tallahassee Democrat Alicia Devine/Tallahassee Democrat / USA TODAY NETWORK

Football:

Kalen Deloach has become FSU’s best linebacker. If you listen close enough you can hear him say ‘I will ruin whatever screen you throw my way’:

If FSU beats Florida it’ll likely be because it dominated in the red zone.

Game likely to be decided in the red zone: Florida State ranks No. 11 nationally in red zone touchdown percentage on offense and No. 9 nationally in red zone defense. The Seminoles stress defenses with the quarterback run game and win defensively up front, and all of that is bad news for a Florida team that ranks outside the top 40 in both red zone conversions on offense and defense. This game is likely going to be low-scoring, so the teams that are able to turn those scoring opportunities into touchdowns instead of field goals will have a major advantage in the game.

Other than opening weekend rivalry weekend is the best weekend of the year.

What’s your favorite rivalry besides FSU-Florida; I’m partial to Bedlam.
