"Georgia Triumphs as FSU Reflects on Orange Bowl Defeat and Opt-Out Controversy"
Florida State University's football team suffered a heavy 63-3 defeat to Georgia in the Orange Bowl, ending their perfect season. The loss highlighted FSU's quarterback challenges, with freshman Brock Glenn struggling in the absence of injured starter Jordan Travis and backup Tate Rodemaker, who entered the transfer portal. Despite the blowout, FSU showcased young talent and is looking to rebuild, particularly with players like Darrell Jackson Jr. and Conrad Hussey stepping up. The game also underscored the impact of the College Football Playoff (CFP) snub and the growing trend of players opting out of bowl games to prepare for the NFL, which FSU's coach Mike Norvell and Georgia's coach Kirby Smart believe needs to be addressed by the sport.
