On The Bench: An FSU football podcast network

It’s Monday morning and the whole crew is back On The Bench to talk about FSU’s big 31-28 win over their rival Miami on Saturday. 

Today we discuss what went right and what went wrong for the ‘Noles during that game. Who our standouts are and what this means for the rest of the season. 

We also dive into recruiting. FSU hosted 9 official visitors and dozens of unofficial visits as well. Find out the latest on Marvin Jones Jr., Wesley Bissainthe, Jovantae Barnes and more!!

Florida State upset Miami, 31-28, at Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla. on Saturday and the guys are On The Bench to break it all down in this Instant Reaction Show!

The Seminoles ended a four-game losing streak to Miami in dramatic fashion on Saturday night. FSU (4-6, 3-4 ACC) shot out to a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter, but nearly gave the game back to Miami in the second half. It was a much needed win for Mike Norvell and his program.

Tune into On The Bench for reaction to the game and the recruiting implications it could have.

The CEO of Seminole Boosters, Michael Alford, joined On The Bench this week to go over a myriad of topics regarding projects and fundraising efforts for Florida State athletics.

Among the updates from Alford:

**New scoreboards for softball and soccer

**The football-only facility (16:00) is in the Construction Design phase, which is a 10-12 month process. Mike Norvell will have major input on designs once the season is over. Populus (Architectural Design) actually has several employees in town right now discussing the vision of the facility, current locker room renovations (that will start after the season and be done by the start of spring practice). FSU has raised $54 million for the FoF project.

**Thoughts on the long-term vision under Norvell

Florida State hosts rival Miami on Saturday. Watching on will be dozens of priority recruits, including Travis Hunter and Marvin Jones Jr.

On The Bench has the most comprehensive recruiting breakdown out there with Zach Blostein and Chris Nee dropping intel on the upcoming visits. Plus Nee and Brendan Sonnone preview the areas where FSU can find success vs. Miami, and areas of concern.

Nee also gets to discuss his true love, FSU hoops, after a season-opening win over Penn.

Florida State had their chances against Clemson on Saturday. But they couldn’t convert on a few key plays and also had several calls go against them down the stretch.

The guys from Noles247 are here to break it all down in the aftermath of FSU’s 20-30 loss against Clemson. 

FSU had themselves in position to pull off the upset after a strip-sack of Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and fumble recovery for a touchdown by defensive end Jermaine Johnson with 7:39 remaining in the fourth quarter was the lone score of the second half for the Seminoles. FSU led 20-17 at that point.

The Tigers got a 21-yard touchdown run by running back Will Shipley with 2:53 remaining to re-take the lead, 24-20, after Thomas' defensive score. The ‘Noles had the ball with a few seconds on the clock, fumbling and allowing the Tigers to add 6 points.
