Everett Golson was brought to Florida State in hopes of the Seminoles extending their championship run.
That did not happen.
Still, the graduate transfer and senior quarterback helped No. 9 Florida State to 10 wins and a New Year’s Six bowl.
The Golson experiment was not quite the success Florida State hoped for in May, having its ACC championship streak ended by Clemson. Preseason, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher saw a vulnerable ACC and took a shot. It missed.
But it was hardly a failure. The Seminoles extended their streak of double-digit wins and a major bowl game to four seasons.
