ORLANDO, Fla. -- We've been licking our chops ever since we first laid eyes on the Week 1 schedule.
Boy, it didn't disappoint, as Florida State and Ole Miss closed a four-day college football bender with one of those head-scratching, momentum-swaying games between nationally ranked teams that has come to define this sport.
When it was over, just past midnight at Camping World Stadium, No. 4 Florida State was sporting a 45-34 victory over No. 11 Ole Miss. It was a game that saw the Seminoles rally from a 28-6 deficit late in the first half, a game that saw FSU redshirt freshman quarterback Deondre Francois become a star right in front of our very eyes and a game that made an already forgettable opening weekend for the big, bad SEC that much worse.
