MIAMI GARDENS – Welcome to Seminole Script.

Democrat writers Ehsan Kassim and Jack Williams talk about all things Florida State football, including final thoughts on last week’s rivalry road victory over Florida, a glimpse into Tuesday and Wednesday practices and a look ahead to Saturday’s Capital One Orange Bowl game against Georgia.
