FSU Football: Fans troll Michigan over video from Orange Bowl loss
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football grabbed a huge win over Michigan as underdogs in the Orange Bowl. FSU fans continue to give Michigan fans a hard time.

It’s been a few months since FSU football beat Michigan in the Orange Bowl to give Jimbo Fisher 10 or more wins for the fifth straight year.
It was a huge win that aided in FSU recruiting closing strong in February and another piece to add to the FSU Sod Cemetary.
So, it was funny when the Michigan athletics department used video from that game to promote their countdown to opening day.
It was a spectacular play from the Michigan player no question, but you’d think they would have used video from a win right? Check it:
Ten. 😏

Of course FSU fans didn’t take to kindly to the video and reacted on Twitter with their thoughts and Michigan fans retorted to no avail:
This game was awesome.

Congrats on the 1 point bowl victory. You beat us so bad that game. So bad that you nearly let us come back in the fourth quarter alone.

Congrats on still clinging to last year's victory over us when next season is so close.

Thoughts
Too funny! I agree with Nole Nation as I would be inclined to show video from a win. It’s funny how fans only look at the scoreboard.
Yes, the game was close there, but FSU dominated Michigan compared to their average numbers on offense and defense.
FSU held Michigan to 3.4 YPP 😂😂....FSU averaged right at 6 YPP against the "vaunted" Michigan defense...

Another stat for yall FSU D held Michigan's offense to 43% less YPP than their season average..they held FSU to 7.8% less than their average

Here's a stat for yall.....yall ready? FSU's YPP against Michigan was 47% higher than Michigan's defensive average this season..

I put that in there just in case Michigan fans missed that back in December. Maybe they’ll learn something in the process instead of scoreboard watching.
Until then, the countdown to FSU football taking on Alabama in the 2017 opener continues.
