In 2024, the Florida State Seminoles had nothing to cheer about. Last autumn, the Seminoles only defeated one FBS opponent en route to a 2-10 season that included multiple blowouts.
The Seminoles finished the season with a 31-11 loss to the Florida Gators at Doak Campbell Stadium. The postgame drama was undoubtedly the most competitive part of the evening.
DJ Lagway Takes Shot at In-State Rival FSU
Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway recently made headlines for his candid comments about the atmosphere at Florida State University (FSU) during a visit.

Lagway went on to poke holes in Florida State, specifically the crowd attitude. While stating that he would rather silence a rival crowd, RGIII delivered a lob, and Lagway slammed down the alley-oop.
“Yeah, and Florida State, to be particular, right?” RGIII asked.
“Yeah, it was already silent when we got there. It was silent when we got there,” Lagway replied.
