Football

Rivals. Rivals. Rivals. If you’re a fan of teams in Florida who wear orange there is a good chance you’re raising the “fire everyone flag” and had a long night this past Saturday.

• The Florida Gators fell to LSU (42-49) and the Hurricanes lost to UNC (42-45.)
• FSU defensive end Jermaine Johnson II continued to get noticed for his ability on the field and landed in the top 12 for the Lombardi Award.

• Following a much-needed bye week, the Florida State Seminoles hope to continue their winning streak as a staggering 37-point favorite at home over the Minutemen.
