Florida State is embarking on the 10-year anniversary of its 2013 championship season. To get going on reliving that season, Noles247 sits down with former FSU star safety Terrence Brooks to go over his favorite memories from that special year.
Brooks – who was a two-year starter for FSU, including an All-ACC performance in 2013 – ended up enjoying an eight-year career in the NFL. He was part of that special 2010 recruiting class, the first under Jimbo Fisher as a head coach, and was a key part of forming an utterly dominant defense.
In his sit-down with On The Bench, Brooks reveals why he had a special disdain for Florida and shares that he actually played the entire second half of the 2013 championship game vs. Auburn with a concussion (and the play he suffered the concussion on ended up being a turning point for him in that game).
