The top 100 FSU football players: No. 43— linebacker Paul Piurowski

It’s not often that a player’s entire career is defined by one play. One play that lives in a program’s lore so long until it becomes embedded into the very fabric that defines the essence of that program’s identity.

Boston Celtics fans know what I’m talking about. It’s when John Havlicek stole the ball.

Similarly, there is arguably no play in Florida State’s history that better represents the epitome of the Seminoles’ rise from plucky upstart to national powerhouse than Paul Piurowski’s strip sack of Nebraska quarterback Jeff Quinn.
