The Fresno Bee newspaper was delighted with their loss, bragging that their team "actually found the end zone against Alabama's vaunted defense" and "our defense held Alabama's offense to 13 points in the second half." One of their players said they were actually two plays away from winning!
Since they went 1-10 last year, I suppose they were surprised.
This is of course bovine scatology. The FSU players quoted elsewhere are saying something quite different.
But I thought they looked like a decent, well coached team. Just don't have the players to compete with a team like Bama. It will be interesting to see how they do next week at Washington and then through their conf schedule.
