Florida State didn’t play this weekend, but that doesn’t mean it was an uneventful couple of days for the Seminoles. 

Saturday’s contest against Clemson was postponed several hours before the noon kick as medical officials from both teams couldn’t agree that the game was safe to play. This came after a Clemson player who was symptomatic earlier in the week traveled with the team to Tallahassee and tested positive for COVID-19. 

And then the fireworks began. 

Clemson allowed messaging of FSU “ducking” the heavily-favored Tigers to exist throughout Saturday, and the fans were flamed on Sunday evening when coach Dabo Swinney said FSU’s administration “forfeited the game” because COVID was used as an “excuse to cancel the game.”

That’s where we dive in on On The Bench. Sonnone rants, Nee turns his attention to the ACC and Newberg provides us with some much-needed recruiting updates in the latest episode.
