What They Are Saying About FSU Loss to NC State

"But Bowden had plenty of reason to be disappointed, if not angry.
A season that begin on a sweet Labor Day night in Miami has turned bitterly sour for Florida State.

Tonight's loss to North Carolina State sends FSU to near the bottom of the ACC standings and makes any chance of playing in the conference championship game a long shot at best."

"Florida State is barely into the month of October, and already Jacksonville seems invisible on the horizon.

The No. 17 Seminoles stumbled to unranked North Carolina State for the fourth time in six years, 24-20, to spoil their tenuous chances of returning to the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game. This, just three games into the league slate."

"After a 37-17 loss at Southern Mississippi, the Pack was 1-2 this season. But look at State now.

“We were at a point where we could turn it around, or the season could get away from us,” senior linebacker Pat Lowery said. “It was make or break. We did some soul-searching.”"

"Now N.C. State has another big win to celebrate against Amato's former boss - and Evans was a big reason why.

Evans completed 13 of 22 passes for 190 yards to lead N.C. State to back-to-back wins against ranked opponents. In fact, his scoring pass to Dunlap was eerily similar to the TD toss he threw to Dunlap with 8.5 seconds left in a 17-15 win against Boston College two weeks ago."

"The scene - a sea of red-clad football players and fans wildly celebrating - has become all too familiar for Florida State.

For the fourth time in six years, N.C. State dealt the Seminoles another defeat. This one - a 24-20 come-from-behind triumph at Carter-Finley Stadium - will linger a while."
