Florida State Fans and Former Players React to 24-7 Win Over Pitt

The Florida State Seminoles are 9-0 for the first time since 2014, and for the first time since then, the Seminoles will once again be playing for the ACC Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Despite getting off to a slow start as the 'Noles entered halftime with just a three-point lead, FSU turned things around in the second half, outscoring the Panthers 14-0.

With receivers Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson unavailable for the game, it was clear from the start that the tight ends, running backs, and the rest of Florida State's deep receiving room would need to step up in Pittsburgh, and that is exactly what happened.

From Trey Benson's 55-yard rushing touchdown to Ja'Khi Douglas's 115 receiving yards, there was a lot for fans to unpack after this nail-biting conference win. Below are some reactions from fans and former players.

Former FSU QB Danny Kanell Reacts to the Decision to Not Go For the Touchdown in the Final Seconds of the Game

Wow...I don't know if a lot of coaches would have done what Mike Norvell did at the end of the Pitt game. Could have easily punched it in at the 2 for some style points but instead lets the clock run out. Classy move.

Fan Reactions

Defense was amazing today and to win by 17 without Keon and Johnny is still impressive. I know Pitt is awful, but this was an important win. Nice to see some other receivers come up big.
