First-year Florida State head coach Willie Taggart has made strides connecting the Seminoles’ rich tradition with the current team.
On Thursday, Taggart took another step when the Seminoles announced legendary coach Bobby Bowden will serve as FSU’s honorary captain for the opener against Virginia Tech.
Frank Beamer, who guided the Hokies to the 1999 national championship game against Bowden’s Noles, will be Va Tech’s honorary captain.
Both Bowden and Beamer built their respective programs into national powers, and both are in the College Football Hall of Fame.
