FSU hopes Rashad Greene can play The No. 1 Florida State Seminoles could be without leading receiver Rashad Greene and leading rusher Karlos Williams, among others, for Saturday's game against Syracuse. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher hopes Greene, a senior, will be available based on his early progress. Greene did not play in the second half of last weekend's 43-3 win against Wake Forest after sustaining a concussion late in the second quarter, which made him dizzy and caused him to vomit at halftime. "His response [Monday] was really good, no lingering effects, but he still has to go through a protocol," Fisher said. "... But those things, one day they're real good and the effects will come later. Every person is different and every [concussion] is different."

No. 2 Florida State rallies from 21-0 deficit to win 24th straight If trailing Auburn by 18 last season in the BCS Championship game didn't shake Florida State, a 21-0 first-half deficit to Louisville surely wasn't going to, either.
