Sports Sports Sports http://michiganstate.blogdrive.com/archive/4.html Sat, 27 May 2006 00:40:05 GMT One thing is for certain about the Florida State football team's 2006 schedule: it's unlike any other in recent memory. With eight games taking place inside Doak S. Campbell Stadium - -and the furthest the team will have to travel is to College Park, Md. -- the least of head coach Bobby Bowden's worries will be preparing the players mentally for brutal stretches of the schedule. After a 2005 season marred by a three-game losing skid but made hopeful by the development of the plethora of young stars, an Atlantic Coast Conference Championship and now, a favorable slate of contests, FSU fans...

Take away any of them and the No. 4 Buckeyes (9-2) might have finished with a different record. Their bowl destination might have been something different from Monday’s Fiesta Bowl matchup against Notre Dame. First on the list is Michigan State’s self-destruction on a field-goal attempt late in the first half of OSU’s 35-24 win on Oct 15.
