Willie Taggart Says He Feels Like Some FSU Players 'Quit' on Team vs. Clemson

Willie Taggart's first year in Tallahassee hasn't gone as planned, as his Florida State Seminoles have started 4-4.

While there were some ugly early moments, the season hit a low point Saturday as the No. 2 Clemson Tigers blew out the Seminoles, 59-10, in Tallahassee, Florida. According to ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson, the 49-point loss matched the worst defeat in program history.

Afterward, the first-year Seminoles coach called out his players, accusing some of quitting on the team, via Warchant TV:

Taggart said:

"Embarrassing performance. First time since I've been here where I felt like we had some guys that quit on our football team, and that can't be tolerated.
