Recruits React To Florida State's Decisive Victory Against Syracuse

What are recruits thinking after the Seminoles' 6-0 start to the 2023 season?

Florida State continued its run of success with a 41-3 win over the Syracuse Orange inside of a sold-out Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles held the opposition without a touchdown for the first time this season as the Orange recorded a mere 261 yards of total offense, including just 97 yards in the opening half.

The contest marked FSU's fifth time appearing in a nationally televised game on ABC this season. That meant there were plenty of recruits watching around the country and a sizable contingent in the stands as well.
