FSU football (6-5) had its second stint of the Odell Haggins interim era stay true to form by becoming bowl eligible under his guidance just as they did in 2017.
The win over Alabama State wasn’t the prettiest but it provided a lot of valuable playing time for some of the young talent on the roster.
Those young players will likely be on the field a lot Saturday night in a hostile environment against the No. 11 Florida Gators (9-2).
It’s one of the reasons the Noles opened at +17.5 point underdogs.
The spread had 73 percent of the bets on the Gators initially, but now only 51 percent of the bets are on the Gators to cover the spread according to the Action Network.
