Pack starts strong, then fizzles against the 'Noles, 34-17

Welp.

In what looked like it could potentially be a tremendous win for the Pack, Florida State woke up in the second quarter and never looked back. This awakening coincided with FSU's decision to swap out Everett Golson, who was getting absolutely worked by the Pack's defense, for the much steadier Sean Maguire. To be honest, after talking with some of the folks over at Tomahawk Nation, they all seemed convinced the Maguire would be the starter. Perhaps Jimbo should've listened to them, as the 'Noles looked like an infinitely better team with Maguire behind center.

The Pack did do some good things on offense in the first half, and much like the game in Raleigh last year, the second half left a lot to be desired.
