Between closed practices for the final preparation of FSU-Pitt and actual football all weekend, there probably won’t be a lot of real news this long weekend. Plenty of anticipation. Hype. Excitement. Lots of other things. But not news. Well, I mean barring something really stupid and frustrating happening off the field. Because that never happens.
Anyways, FSU’s running back depth took a very minor hit as their #3 RB, Mario Pender, was declared academically ineligible for the year. The redshirt freshman is that because this is second time that has occurred. That’s right. He redshirted last year because of academic issues. A year later, he’s still academically ineligible. A 4-star RB that can’t seem to focus on the classroom. Geez. Imagine that.
