KIDZ1STFUNDOn Aug. 5, 2011, Jimbo Fisher and Candi Fisher launched their public battle against Fanconi anemia (FA) after their youngest son, Ethan (now 12), was diagnosed with the rare disease that spring. Kidz1stFund was created with the goals of improving treatment options, raising national awareness of the disease, and helping to fund research that will lead to a cure.

The returns on the hard work have been impressive as Kidz1stFund has given more than $4.5 million for FA research to the University of Minnesota’s Fanconi Anemia Comprehensive Care Program.

The Fisher’s commitment to defeating the disease is already showing progress for the families affected by the disease nationwide.

WIDEOUTS IMPRESS TO OPEN SEASONJUNIOR AUDEN TATE » With new quarterback James Blackman making his first start against NC State, Tate established

new single-game career-highs for receptions (nine) and yards (138). His 51-yard reception on FSU’s second snap of the second half was a career-long. He was injured on the play and did not return.

» His 4-yard TD reception in the second quarter – the first scoring pass of Blackman’s career – was his second of the season. He has now caught a TD pass in consecutive games and leads the team with 11 receptions and 179 yards in 2017.

» Tate is FSU’s active career leader in receptions (36), yards (588) and touchdowns (8), and is aver-aging 16.3 yards per catch and a touchdown every 4.5 receptions.

SOPHOMORE KEITH GAVIN » Gavin made his first start in the season opener against Alabama, leading FSU with seven catches

for 50 yards, including a 9-yard gain on the first drive for his first career reception. » Gavin also logged his first career rush, gaining 6 yards on a double-reverse. » The Wakulla High standout also returned two kickoffs for 20 yards. » Gavin finished with 10 touches for 76 all-purpose yards, eclipsing his previous high of 66 yards

which came in FSU’s Orange Bowl win over Michigan on a kickoff return.

REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE GEORGE CAMPBELL » Campbell matched his career-high with three receptions and finished with a career-best 85 yards;

his previous highs (3 catches for 42 yards) came in his first career game, against Texas State in 2015. Campbell missed all of 2016 with an injury.

» Campbell reeled in a career-best 60-yard reception from James Blackman on the penultimate play of the third quarter, which led to Ricky Aguayo’s 37-yard field goal that pulled the Noles within 20-16.

» Including his one reception for 21 yards against Alabama in the opener, Campbell has four recep-tions for 106 yards (26.5 ypc) on the season and has receptions in consecutive games for the first time in his career.

RUN GAME GETS WELCOME BUMP IN PRODUCTION » The Seminoles’ rushing attack produced a season-best 127 yards on 26 carries in the home opener

against NC State. Cam Akers had 56 yards on 12 carries (4.7 ypc) and Jacques Patrick had 38 yards on eight carries (4.8 ypc).

HOLDING STRONG ON THE GROUND » Despite taking a loss last week to NC State, Florida State’s defense was strong against the run. » The Wolfpack, led by H-back Jaylen Samuels, was held to just 110 yards rushing on 37 attempts, an

average of 3.0 yards per carry. » In two games this season, FSU is allowing 141.5 rushing yards per game and 3.6 yards per carry.

MAKING TACKLES COUNT » The Seminoles have been able to emphasize their ability to wrap up behind the line of scrimmage

through two games this season. » In last week’s home opener vs. NC State, 10 of FSU’s 66 total tackles went for a loss. FSU’s defense

negated 32 yards by the Wolfpack on its 10 TFLs. » Eight different Seminoles recorded at least 1/2 TFL, headlined by sophomore defensive end Brian

Burns’ and senior defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi’s 2.5 TFLs apiece.

THIRD DOWN D » Having already played quality opponents Alabama and NC State, FSU’s defense has consistently

been able to get off the field. » In two games against the Tide and Wolfpack, opponents are converting on just 29 percent of their

third down attempts (8-28). » Last game, NC State went 5-12 on third downs. In the season opener, Alabama converted just 3/16

third down attempts. RO’ LEADS THE WAY » Redshirt senior middle linebacker Ro’Derrick Hoskins leads the Seminoles through two games with

18 tackles. » The Orlando, Fla., native has split with nine tackles against NC State and nine in the season opener

vs. Alabama. » Hoskins has established career highs in two consecutive weeks with his nine tackles apiece vs.

Alabama and NC State. He now has 132 career wrap-ups. DEFENSE HOLDS STRONG VS. ALABAMA » Despite absorbing a 24-7 defeat to No. 1 Alabama in the season-opening Chick-fil-A Kickoff in Week

1, Florida State’s defense proved it could be one of the nation’s stingiest units. » Alabama sophomore quarterback and Heisman hopeful Jalen Hurts was held in check for most of

the evening, going 10-of-18 for 96 yards with one touchdown. Hurts was limited downfield, going just 2-of-6 on throws that were 10+ yards.

» The Tide only had one wideout record a reception in junior Calvin Ridley (7 catches, 82 yards, 1 TD). » Of Alabama’s 13 offensive drives, it was forced into four three-and-outs and had three nega-

tive-yardage drives. » Alabama recorded 13 first downs and went just 3-of-16 (18.8 percent) on third down. » FSU’s defense put up these impressive numbers despite Alabama having an average starting field

position at its own 45-yard line. NOTABLE PERFORMANCES VS. WAKE FOREST » There have been a few defensive standout performances against Wake Forest, which includes

some current Seminoles. » In 2013, current redshirt senior defensive back Nate Andrews was part of a record-breaking game

at Wake. In a 59-3 win, Andrews recorded a career-high two INTs, including one for a 56-yard pick six. FSU tied a school record with six INTs on the day.

» On Nov. 14, 1998, current FSU Director of Player Development Mario Edwards Sr. set an FSU bench-mark with four interceptions in a 24-7 win at Wake Forest to clinch a share of seven straight ACC titles for the Seminoles.

» Last time at Wake Forest on Oct. 3, 2015, then-freshman safety Derwin James got some extended action for the first time and finished with six tackles and a QB hurry in a 24-16 road win.

NATIONAL HONORS

16The number of games under head coach Jimbo Fisher in which Florida State has allowed under 100 passing yards. Of the 16 games, Alabama’s 96 yards through the air marked the 10th game that a Power Five school has thrown for less than 100 yards vs. the Seminoles under Fisher.

blocked in the Orange Bowl against No. 6 Michigan, Aguayo made the first 51 PATs of his career. » Florida State owns the NCAA record for consecutive extra points made with 302. FSU broke the

previous record of 263 (Syracuse, 1978-89) against USF on Sept. 24, 2016. Michigan at 297 is the longest active streak.

» Dustin Hopkins made his final 50 PATs in 2012 and three-time All-American Roberto Aguayo was 198-for-198 from 2013-15. Ricky Aguayo was 51-for-52 and Logan Tyler was 3-for-3 in 2016.

against Syracuse on Nov. 19, 2016. » Florida State has now blocked 142 punts in the history of the program with three (two by Burns,

one by Chris Thompson) coming during the Jimbo Fisher era (since the start of the 2010 season). » The Seminoles have blocked nine kicks (one FG, five PAT and three punts) under head coach Jimbo

Fisher. DEFENDERS DISPLAY ATHLETICISM » Tarvarus McFadden, who won the 2016 Jack Tatum Award as the nation’s top defensive back,

returned the first three punts of his career for 25 yards (8.3 ypr) against NC State. His 15-yarder was FSU’s longest since an 18-yarder by Bobo Wilson last season against USF.

» Derwin James, who has 14 tackles in the first two games of the season, returned the first kick of his career against NC State. The 49-yard kickoff return was the longest by a Seminole since Keith Gavin’s 66-yard kickoff return against Michigan in the 2016 Orange Bowl and was the third-longest kick return by a Seminole since the start of the 2016 season.

kins against Miami (four of five) on Oct. 20, 2012. » Wide receiver George Campbell totaled 109 all-purpose yards against NC State, catching three

» After ranking No. 1 in the ACC (and No. 9 nationally) on touchbacks on kickoffs in 2016, Logan Tyler has earned six touchbacks on eight kickoffs (.750) in the first two games of the season including five touchbacks on six kickoffs against NC State.
