Jimbo Fisher still went out of his way to nitpick Florida State as a coach is wont to do even after the most impressive wins, but the Seminoles coach was as pleased Saturday night as after any game this season.
“We just beat the damn Gators,” Fisher triumphantly said in the locker room after a 27-2 win over Florida that had fans exiting The Swamp well before Dalvin Cook dropped the hammer with a 29-yard touchdown with seconds left to cement one of the most lopsided FSU wins in the rivalry.
Fisher’s Seminoles beat Florida to claim the Sunshine State title for a third consecutive year with a sweep of the Hurricanes and Gators, but that euphoria fades in if it not hours.
