The “Underdogs”: An Analysis of the Seminoles
Principal’s Note: Instead of the usual analysis of Oregon, I felt it important to focus this week upon the opponent we are facing.

Jalen Ramsey is FSU’s “Controlled Chaos” Trash-Talker
We are only six days away from watching our Ducks run on the field in Pasadena, CA to face the Florida State Seminoles in the Rose Bowl.

With kickoff less than a week away, the action is finally here. The only people who are probably wishing the season was further away — or even over – would be Ohio State.
