This was a big game for both programs as FSU head coach Mike Norvell was looking for a statement win to start the season and, LSU head coach Brian Kelly wanted to start his career with the Tigers on the right foot. This game came down to the wire and featured a roller coaster-like finish. Ultimately ending with a blocked extra point attempt by the Seminoles to win the game in a thriller in the Superdome.  

The 22-23 college football season is setting up to be a fun one and for Florida State fans, you couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year.
