Welcome Back Marvin Wilson

Man, listen. I criticize players when they deserve it and I’ve given Marvin Wilson a ton of it during the first few games of the season.

He had been non-existent and likely was losing money by coming back to FSU football for his senior season.

However, I’m not sure if Mike Norvell had the same talk with him that he had with Tamorrion Terry a few games ago.

Marvin Wilson showed up for the North Carolina game. He was playing well in the game, but there was a moment when he sort of collapsed on the field and had to some out of the game.

When he was able to go back into the game, he seemed to turn his play up another notch and was instrumental in the FSU defense holding up enough to seal the victory.

He finished the game with six tackles, one QB hurry, and a blocked punt on the night. Wilson deserves some credit finally, as Saturday night was his best game all season.

Here’s to hoping he’ll be able to continue that level of play moving forward against Louisville next week.
