It wasn’t always pretty, but Mike Norvell’s Florida State Seminoles came back in the 2nd half and then held on to beat Billy Napier’s Florida Gators in Tallahassee Friday night, making FSU state champs, after the Noles annihilated Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes earlier this season.
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions from social media.

Give me that momentum. Go Noles!!! Amazing atmosphere in Doak tonight, so thankful for our fans.
