FSU HC Willie Taggart says defense ignited team in a blowout performance

After a slow start saw the Seminoles trailing 10-0, the team finally woke up towards the end of the first quarter following a huge sack from defensive end Brian Burns. Head coach Willie Taggart pointed to this play as the turning point of the game.

“That was big,” Taggart said. “I told Burns after that, he started that to be able to get that sack. That’s just what our team needed, for somebody to make a play for us. Both offense and defense had a slow start. We needed somebody to make a play, and Burns did and got us going a little bit.
