Just five days after the FSU football team opens the season with ACC foe Virginia Tech, the Seminoles will return to the field at Doak Campbell Stadium that went to a college football playoff last season – no, not the Clemson Tigers who they will play at the end of October or the Alabama team they opened the season with last year.
Nope, the Noles will host the always powerful Samford Bulldogs. That’s right, the same Samford team who FSU football has played twice before, with the last game coming to open the 2010 season in what was supposed to be the final opener of legendary coach Bobby Bowden’s career before he was forced out for someone else.
