Bowden's last stand, finally here. He's the sentimental favorite, and the team knows what a bowl win would mean. But they're definitely not the most defensive of squads, and West Virginia should be able to put some points on the board. Will the Seminoles be able to keep up?

The Line: Florida State +2.5

The Call: West Virginia by 9

The Result: Florida State 33-21

In a word, yes. In fact the Seminoles put up nearly a third as many yards as the Mountaineers. The West Virginia boys will be back next year though. Florida State has ended an era on a good note - can they start the next one on one too?
