Emergency OTB: McKenzie Milton is a ‘Nole Dec 13, 2020

Florida State beats up on Duke like they should Dec 13, 2020

Show notes

It was a strange game for FSU after the long hiatus. The Seminoles (3-6, 2-6 ACC) looked rejuvenated and explosive to start the game. Duke (2-9, 1-9 ACC) showed some fight, but the 'Noles dominated in a 56-35 win on Saturday night.

The Seminoles got off to a fast start, teetered on the brink of a collapse, and then recovered to pour in on the Blue Devils. The crew at Noles247 gives their thoughts just minutes after the game came to an end.

The 'Noles are scheduled to travel to Wake Forest next Saturday, although that game will be contingent on FSU having enough players healthy and available for the contest.
