Keon Coleman is latest star in FSU’s road back from sideshow to contention
New York TimesORLANDO, Fla. — Mike Norvell made sure Keon Coleman didn’t take the bait. “How much did Brian Kelly’s pregame comments resonate in your locker room?” During his weekly radio show, Kelly had said LSU was “gonna go beat the heck out of Florida State.” Coleman didn’t flinch. Coleman — the latest transfer turned breakout star — caught three touchdown passes in Florida State’s 45-24 butt-whooping of Kelly’s fifth-ranked LSU Tigers on Sunday. Coleman’s emergence in it — during a second-half blowout — is why Florida State has a chance to be a College Football Playoff team. It’s easy when I’ve got a great team around me, pushing me and telling me they’ve got my back and whatnot.” It looked easy at times last year when FSU went 10-3 and Travis could throw the ball up to 6-7 receiver Johnny Wilson, the Arizona State transfer, or could turn and hand it off to Trey Benson, the Oregon transfer.
