FLORIDA STATE RUMORS
‘Noles Continue to Fight Through Rough Season
Florida State will head into Wednesday’s home contest against Wake Forest with a record of just 10-10 and only 2-5 in ACC play.

Video of Winston working on his mechanics
One of the knocks of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has been his mechanics for throwing the football. Many have (ridiculously) referred to it as being similar to that of former Buccaneers quarterback Byron Leftwich — a slow wind up with average release speed.
