With 11:54 left in the second quarter of last week’s FSU football game against Samford, A.J. Westbook intercepted a Bulldogs pass for the first turnover of the season for the Seminoles. The Noles would get a fumble before the half and three more interceptions in the last two quarters to get the first five turnovers for the Seminoles all season.
After each one, the player who got the turnover returned to the west sideline and was given the honor of wearing…the new turnover backpack.
Yes, that’s right – the FSU football team has adopted a backpack (albeit a nice one) as a symbol according to head coach Willie Taggart of “securing the bag”, or getting that money bag that comes with a resume full of turnovers (h/t Orlando Sentinel).
