Assignment One Draft Summary: The community I decided to observe was that of Florida State University and its

football program. I chose to observe the Seminoles because I have been a huge FSU fan for the longest time. Being a student in college is tough enough, but being a student athlete is tougher. More is expected from the athletes that represent a university and they are looked up to as role models in the surrounding communities. The behavior of the coaches and players involved within the program is expected to be honorable. There are punishments for coaches and players when they act out in obscure ways that break rules as well as bring shame to that respective university. The same is expected from the fans attending the games, though college football games can bring a harsh environment full of students who are inebriated and cannot comprehend what is going on. Being able to control yourself and your actions to a visiting team as well as its fans is a necessity when you are a fan of a big university. Picking fights with rival schools fans is not what the team wants you to do. Being a respectful fan of the game is what is expected. Acting out in unruly ways doesnt show respect to the game of football and all that college football represents. Florida State University is a school with great tradition in football. Giving everything you have every single day is what coaches want out of players as well as the fans want to see from those players. Winning isnt just an attitude, its a lifestyle. Actors: Jimbo Fisher Florida State Universitys head football coach, he was the head coach in waiting behind the great former coach Bobby Bowden(who had a decorated coaching career with a few national championships and Heisman trophy winners). Fisher has not disappointed in his first few years as a head coach, he has kept the tradition of winning alive in Tallahassee, FL and things only keep looking better. In his first three years as a head coach, he has posted a 33-10 record. Jameis Winston- Redshirt freshman quarterback for the FSU Seminoles. Highly touted recruit out of high school, ranked as the number one quarterback in the nation. Winston is looking to show out in his debut as the starting quarterback. He is also a standout on the Seminoles baseball team. His personality is confident in his abilities as well as being a true student of the game.

Observations: Florida State vs. Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA 9/2/2013 8:00pm

Location: The location for my observations was Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is usually the Pittsburgh Steelers( NFL team) home field but the University of Pittsburgh plays their home games there as well. The stadium is crowded, full of excited fans ready for the first game of the 2013 season. It is Pittsburghs first game as a member of the ACC and they will face the reigning ACC champions, Florida State University. The football field is like every other field, being one hundred twenty yards long with the end zones ten yards long on each end. There are extra has marks on the field due to the multi-use of the field for the pros and collegiate levels. Observation 1: First Quarter (Time is listed as remaining time in quarter.) 13:39- Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage completes a third and long pass to receiver Devin Street on a deep out route. The play is about a 31 yard gain and sets up a chance for the Panthers to get into scoring position. The home fans are elated and cheer loudly when the 3rd down was converted. 10:53- Quarterback Tom Savage completes a pass to tight end Manesseh Garner on a bench route. Garner stretches out for the end zone and the ball crosses for the touchdown. Fans go wild watching their Panthers put the first points of the game on the board. The kicker attempts the extra point and makes the score 7-0. 5:05- 1st and 10 for the Panthers, quarterback Tom Savage drops back to pass then his pass is intercepted by Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Ramsey returns the ball 31 yards to put the offense in good field position. Pittsburgh fans are not happy with this turn of events. 4:12- Its 2nd and 10, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston drops back for the pass and finds tight end Nick Oleary on the skinny post for a 21 yard touchdown pass! Pittsburgh fans arent happy about the touchdown. New kicker, Roberto Aguayo makes the extra point to even the score at 7-7. 4:11- Pittsburgh takes possession of the ball and sets out to start another drive. The Panthers cant seem to get this drive started. It is a quick three and out so the Panthers are forced to punt away. Observation 2: Second Quarter 15:00- Florida State has possession of the ball and is driving down the field. James Wilder gets the handoff from Jameis Winston and picks up 15 yards for the first down. On the next play Wilder rushes again for no gain but a penalty flag is thrown. The penalty is a facemask on the defense so the Seminoles pick up 15 more yards and another first down! 13:42- Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston drops back to pass and finds tight end Nick Oleary in the corner of the endzone for another Seminole touchdown! Seminole fans are excited but the Panther fans arent happy. Players celebrate their touchdown with each other. The score is now 14-7 FSU.

9:20- After failing to convert on third down, the Panthers have to settle for a field goal. The kicker kicks it through the field goal posts and makes the score 14-10. 2:18- Florida State has the ball and its 2nd and goal. Winston is lined up in the shotgun and snaps the ball. He takes the ball and follows his blockers off the left side of his offensive line about 5 yards and runs in for the touchdown! Seminole fans are loud and proud visiting Pittsburgh. After the extra point from Aguayo the score is now 21-10. 2:02- Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage drops back to pass then his pass is picked off by defensive back Terrance Brooks to give the Seminoles possession once again before halftime. Panther fans are once again disappointed in their starting quarterback. 00:56- Its 1st and 30 for the Seminoles after a few penalties, Winston drops back to pass, maneuvers behind his offensive line then scrambles to the right and launches the ball downfield. Rashad Greene jumps up and catches the ball in traffic, turns to run and gains the first down. 00:38- Quarterback Jameis Winston drops back and passes to receiver Rashad Greene around the 5 yard line, Greene then runs into the end zone for another Seminole touchdown! Panther fans are not happy their defense gave up a touchdown right before the end of the half. After another Aguayo extra point, the score is 28-10. Observation 3: Third and Fourth Quarters 3rd 11:14- Florida State cannot get into the end zone so it looks like they will set up the field goal on 4th down. Aguayo is the kicker and kicks is right through the uprights to make the score 3110. 3rd 4:43- The Panthers managed to pick up four first downs this drive but cannot make anything else of it. Settling for the field goal, Pittsburgh kicker makes the kick to make it 31-13. Panther fans seem okay with the three points. 3rd 1:16- Florida State manages to drive down field but quarterback Jameis Winston has to throw the ball away to bring up fourth down. Kicker Roberto Aguayo comes on the field to attempt the field goal. The field goal is good and the score goes to 34-13. 4th 15:00- Florida State has the ball again and is looking to drive down the field once more. From the looks of how this game is going, a score on this drive will most likely be the end of this game. Some Pittsburgh fans have already left the stadium. 4th 9:32- Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston finds tight end Nick Oleary once again for a touchdown. He ran a skinny fade route untouched into the end zone for an easy catch. Aguayo come on to make the extra point and the score goes to 41-13. Seminole fans are excited as well as the players but Panther fans have lost hope in this game.

4th 6:40- Florida State gains possession again after Pittsburgh failed to do anything with the ball. The second string offense has been sent on the field as a sign that this game is over. Many teams do this when they recognize there is no chance for the opponent to make a comeback. It shows sportsmanship as well not keeping starters on the field who can run up the score. 4th 00:00- The game clock has wound down and the Florida State Seminoles have won the opening game of the season! Pittsburgh fans arent happy with their entrance to the Atlantic Coast Conference starting with a loss. Jameis Winston had a great debut throwing for 356 yards and 4 touchdowns, also adding a touchdown on the ground. It is a great sign for things to come for the FSU program.
