The 2013 Florida State Seminoles football team, variously Florida State or FSU, represented Florida State University in the sport of American football during the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS college football season. Florida State competed in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Seminoles were led by fourth-year head coach Jimbo Fisher and played their home games at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. They were members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and played in the Atlantic Division. It was the Seminoles' 22nd season as a member of the ACC and its ninth in the ACC Atlantic Division.

Led by eventual Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, Florida State finished the season with a school-record fourteen wins and completed the school's third undefeated season. The Seminoles captured their seventeenth conference title and third national championship, earning the Grantland Rice Award, the MacArthur Trophy, the Associated Press Trophy and the AFCA National Championship Trophy.

In addition to the Heisman, Jameis Winston won the Walter Camp Award, the Davey O'Brien Award, and the Manning Award as well as being a finalist for the Maxwell Award and honored as the AP Player of the Year. Roberto Aguayo won the Lou Groza Award as the nation's best placekicker, Bryan Stork won the Rimington Trophy awarded to the nation's top center. Ten players were named All-Americans, with three earning consensus honors. For their accomplishments, Lamarcus Joyner was a finalist for both the Jim Thorpe Award and the Nagurski Trophy, and Coach Fisher was named the AFCA Coach of the Year and was a semifinalist for Maxwell Coach of the Year.

Twenty-six Seminoles from the national title team have gone on to play professional football with twenty-five players going on to play in the NFL, including four first round picks, and one player in the CFL. Nine players have been named consensus All-Americans. Since the National Championship, numerous players have gone on to win a Super Bowl, including Bryan Stork, Tre' Jackson, Ronald Darby, Timmy Jernigan and Cameron Erving.

Before the season

[edit]

Eleven players from the 2012 team were taken in the 2013 NFL draft.[1]

Preseason

[edit]

After the season, FSU lost six coaches from their coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Mark Stoops left his position at Florida State to take the job as head coach at Kentucky. D.J. Eliot left his position as defensive ends coach to assist Stoops at Kentucky as defensive coordinator. Eddie Gran, who served as running back coach and special teams coordinator as well as associate head coach, also left the staff to serve as offensive coordinator at Cincinnati. Offensive coordinator James Coley left Florida State to take the same position at Miami. Greg Hudson, an assistant head coach left his position to become the defensive coordinator at Purdue. Quarterbacks coach Dameyune Craig left Florida State to return to Auburn, his alma mater.

Former Alabama assistant coach, Jeremy Pruitt, joined the Florida State staff as the new defensive coordinator, replacing Mark Stoops. Former Tennessee assistant coach Sal Sunseri was hired as defensive ends coach. Former Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster was hired as tight ends coach. Former South Carolina assistant coach Jimmy Graham was hired as running backs coach. Former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Charles Kelly was hired as linebackers coach and special teams. Randy Sanders was hired as quarterbacks coach.[2][3]

Prior to the start of the season, wide receiver Greg Dent was suspended indefinitely following an arrest and subsequent charge of sexual battery.[4][5] Just days later, Tight end transfer Kevin Haplea suffered a torn ACL during workouts, ruled to be out for the season.[6] During the offseason, tight end Nick O'Leary (grandson of Jack Nicklaus) was involved in a motorcycle accident but recovered before the start of the season. Just before fall practice, tight end Christo Kourtzidis chose to transfer. At the start of fall practice, freshman tight end Jeremy Kerr suffered a knee cartilage tear leaving him sidelined for an undetermined amount of time. In August, wide receiver Willie Haulstead was released from the team after being named academically ineligible.[7] Running back Mario Pender was also declared ineligible due to academics.[8] Jarred Haggins, a wide receiver, suffered a knee stress fracture in practice causing him to miss the season.[9]

In the ACC Media Poll, Florida State was voted to finish second in the Atlantic Division.[10] FSU led the league with six preseason All-ACC selections in Tre' Jackson, Bryan Stork, and James Wilder, Jr. on offense along with Timmy Jernigan, Christian Jones, and Lamarcus Joyner on defense.[11]

Spring Game

The annual 'Garnet and Gold Game' was held on April 13 at Doak S. Campbell Stadium and the gold team was victorious, winning by a score of 40–24.[12][13]

On February 23, 2013, officials from both Florida State and Pittsburgh, as well as the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference announced that the Seminoles and the Panthers would open the season at Heinz Field on Labor Day in what would be Pittsburgh's first game as a member of the ACC.[21]

In the game that would serve as the debut of Jameis Winston as quarterback, the Seminoles had to overcome an early deficit to defeat the Panthers, 41–13.[22] After Pitt scored on their first possession to take a touchdown lead, Florida State quickly responded on their first drive with a touchdown pass from Winston to Nick O'Leary to tie the game. Winston and O'Leary would connect twice more for touchdowns in a game where the offense rolled.

The first quarter would end with a tie game. Driving down the field, Florida State took their first lead of the game with another touchdown pass to Nick O'Leary.[23] Pittsburgh was able to close the gap to four points after a twenty-eight yard field goal.[23] The Seminoles would extend their lead with a rushing touchdown from Jameis Winston and a pass to Rashad Greene following an interception to give Florida State an eighteen-point lead at halftime.[23] The third quarter was mostly uneventful with a pair of field goals from Florida State and a single field goal from Pittsburgh.[23] The Seminoles held a three score lead going into the fourth quarter. Winston would add another touchdown in the final quarter.[23]

Following Pitt's touchdown on the first drive, Florida State kept them out of the end zone for the remainder of the game and held the Panthers to just two field goals. After a slow start for the defense, Pitt was held to only 297 yards of offense and one touchdown.

For his four touchdown and 356 all-purpose yardage rookie performance, Winston was recognized as the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week[24] while tight end Nick O'Leary was named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week.[25] The victory improved Florida State's all-time record against the Panthers to 4–5.[26]

The game drew 4.5 million viewers and a 2.9 rating for ESPN, a three-year high for the network's Labor Day game. It was the third-most viewed game of college football's opening week.[27]

In their home opener, Florida State faced the Nevada Wolf Pack of the Mountain West Conference. After a slow start and another early deficit, the Seminoles would go on to defeat the Wolf Pack in dominating fashion, 62–7, after scoring 59 unanswered points.[29]

The Seminoles would strike first courtesy of a field goal from Roberto Aguayo, which would serve as the only score of the first quarter.[30] Going into the second quarter, the Seminoles held a three-point lead but they would eventually trail after Nevada scored the first touchdown of the game to take a four-point lead.[30] However, this would be the only points allowed by the Seminole defense. Florida State scored touchdowns on two consecutive drives[30] with two passes from quarterback Jameis Winston to Kenny Shaw and Rashad Greene to take a ten-point lead into the half.

Florida State rolled during the second half of the game, scoring thirty-one points in the third quarter and fourteen more points in the fourth quarter while holding Nevada scoreless.[30]

Despite allowing a touchdown early in the game, the Florida State defense allowed only 214 yards while the Florida State offense tallied up 617 yards of total offense.[30]

Winston continued to impress completing fifteen of his eighteen pass attempts with 214 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. For his performance, he was named the ACC Rookie of the Week for the second consecutive week. Kicker Roberto Aguayo was also honored as the ACC Specialist of the Week after a game that saw him kick a career long field goal of 33 yards as well as make all eight extra-point attempts.[31] The eight touchdowns were all scored by different players: Devonta Freeman, Ryan Green, Freddie Stevenson, James Wilder Jr., Karlos Williams (in his first start as running back), and Jameis Winston scored rushing touchdowns while Rashad Greene and Kenny Shaw scored the game's two receiving touchdowns.[32]

Florida State jumped out to a quick lead by scoring the first 40 points of the game.[36] Telvin Smith opened up the scoring for The Seminoles with an interception returned for a touchdown followed up by a 45-yard field goal from Roberto Auayo.[36] A safety, caused by a penalty in the endzone by the Wildcats,[37] gave the Seminoles an early twelve point lead.

For their second road game of the season, the first since the season opener, Florida State hit the road to face the Boston College Eagles. In 2012, Florida State was victorious with a 51–7 win over the Eagles in Tallahassee.[40] Florida State last traveled to Chestnut Hill in 2011 for a Thursday night match-up, a game the Seminoles won 38–7.[41]

Florida State mounted a comeback to defeat Boston College, 48–34, in their second conference game of the season.[42]

After stopping Florida State on their first offensive possession, Boston College took the early lead with a touchdown pass from BC quarterback Chase Rettig.[43] Florida State responded with a seven play drive that ended in a field goal to cut the lead to four.[43] The Eagles would then go on to score the next ten points of the game to take a fourteen-point lead and seemingly seize control of the game. However, the Seminoles rattled off twenty-one unanswered points including a "Hail Mary" pass, with no time remaining, at the end of the second quarter to take a seven-point lead at the half.[43]

On the first drive of the second half, Boston College mustered up a drive that resulted in a field goal to close the gap and make it a four-point game.[43] Florida State then completed two drives ending in touchdowns to take an eighteen-point lead.[43] Boston College added another touchdown at the end of the third quarter.[43] Entering the fourth quarter, Florida State held an eleven-point lead. In the final quarter, Florida State would extend their lead with a field goal.[43] Boston College then began a promising drive, but P. J. Williams intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown to put the Noles up 48–27 late in the game.[43] Boston College closed the gap with a touchdown to pull within two scores midway through the quarter.[43] Florida State sealed the win with a late interception to take possession of the ball with less than two minutes remaining.

Although Boston College controlled the game early, Florida State outgained them with 489 yards of offense while limiting to Eagles to 397 total yards. Quarterback Jameis Winston completed 17 of 27 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns. Winston also led the team in rushing with 14 rushes for 96 yards while wide receiver Kenny Shaw led the team in receiving with 4 receptions for 93 yards and one touchdown.[44]

This was the 12th meeting between Florida State and Boston College, the 8th meeting as conference opponents. The victory improved Florida State's all-time record against the Eagles to 8–4.[45]

In the final conference game of the year, Florida State faced the Syracuse Orange. The teams last met during the 2005 season in Tallahassee, a 38-14 win for the Seminoles.[98]

Florida State traveled to Gainesville for their annual rivalry game with the Florida Gators, who were in the midst of their worst season since 1979, in the regular season finale. In 2012, Florida was victorious with a 37–26 win over the Seminoles in Tallahassee after Florida State blew a late lead.[118] The Seminoles last traveled to Gainesville in 2011, where Florida State beat the Gators 21–7 in a turnover filled game.[119]

In the final regular season game, Florida State defeated their archrival, 37-7,[120] marking the Seminoles' third win in the last four games against the Gators.

Early in the third quarter, Florida State capitalized on a Florida fumble, scoring three more points on a 40-yd field goal.[123] Florida State extended their lead when Devonta Freeman rushed 11 yards for a touchdown[123] to give the Seminoles a twenty-seven point advantage. Florida scored their first points of the game in the fourth quarter courtesy of a 5-yd pass from third-string quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg to Hunter Joyer.[124] Florida State responded with a 4-yd pass from Winston to Benjamin.[124] The final score of the game would come from Roberto Aguayo who kicked 28-yd field goal[124] to give the Seminoles a thirty-point win over the rival Gators. Because of their victory over Florida, along with their earlier victory over Miami, the Seminoles were awarded the Florida Cup.

Florida State amassed 456 yards of offense while the defense held the Gators to 193 total yards. Quarterback Jameis Winston completed 19 of 31 passes for 327 yards and three touchdowns, leading the team in passing. James Wilder, Jr. led the team in rushing with 10 carries for 63 yards.
