Behind strong performances from James Blackman and Auden Tate, Florida State ended its season on a high note in its dominant 42-13 win over Southern Miss Wednesday in the Independence Bowl.

In the win, Cam Akers broke a program freshman running record that was not set too long ago.

Josh Newberg of Noles247 reported Wednesday that Deion Sanders and Willie Taggart have a mutual interest in Sanders joining the Florida State coaching staff. When interviewed on ESPN during Wednesday’s game, here’s what Sanders had to say.

FSU’s bowl victory kept alive an impressive program streak of winning seasons that is among the longest in college football history.

After the victory, defensive tackle Demarcus Christmas took to social media to share that he will be returning for his senior season, lending a huge boost to FSU’s 2018 defensive front.
