Bowden needs no excuses this time

Posted Oct 23, 2009
At halftime, Bobby Bowden told Florida State's players and assistant coaches that they'd played the worst half he'd seen in 55 years of coaching. Bowden was furious about the nine first-half penalties and a fumble that led to North Carolina's second touchdown. But he was all smiles after a stunning second-half comeback gave Florida State a 30-27 win Thursday night at Kenan Stadium. (Charlotte Observer)
