“To me, there’s no moral victories in football, either you win or you lose, simple as that.” - Quarterback McKenzie Milton after a nail-biting loss to Notre Dame 41-38 in overtime.
It may be true that there are no moral victories in football, but there can be program-changing victories (even in defeat, if that makes sense) and aside from pulling off a come from behind top-10 upset, that's just what last night might be.
Florida State hosted numerous blue-chip recruits for Sunday night's game and judging by their reactions, even in a loss there’s something to build on and sell about a program moving forward and an appealing change of culture.
