86 days to FSU football, and how No. 86 is a unique one for the 'Noles

Behold: the Florida State football No. 86. It is the only number never to have had a player wearing it earn an All-America, All-conference, or ACC All-Academic honor, or be drafted into the NFL.

In reviewing the 86s of the past, the name that jumped out at me most was that of receiver Rod Owens, who wore that number from 2005-2009. Owens appears regularly in the FSU record book. In his final season as a 'Nole, Owens had as many catches (61) as Peter Warrick did in 1998, a tie for the 14th most in one season throughout Seminole history.
