FSU football career rushing leader No. 5: Larry Key

  • 2,953 rushing yards
  • 13 rushing touchdowns
  • 4.7 yards per rush

Larry Key was an early Bobby Bowden recruiting gem during an era in which moving the ball was paramount. In 1977, Key had as many yards on the ground as both quarterbacks, Jimmy Jordan and Wally Woodham, had through the air.

Key wouldn’t make it to the NFL, instead taking his talents to the north to play in the CFL for the BC Lions. That certainly doesn’t take any bit of shine away from the Florida State tenure of the Inverness product.

How could one take the shine away from Doak being filled with key-jingling Seminoles fans anyway?
