I saw the same thing in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl that I saw all season from Florida State--a wildly undisciplined team that repeatedly hurt itself with stupid penalties. According to CFBstats.com, the Noles finished tied for 112th (out of 119 I-A teams) in penalties during the regular season.
