Hydration Challenges Not Forgotten as Florida State Prepares for Alabama Showdown
TALLAHASSEE, FL — The 2019 matchup between Florida State University (FSU) and Boise State is a haunting memory for many fans, as it marked a pivotal moment in the Seminoles’ recent struggles. The noon kickoff under the relentless August sun at Doak Campbell Stadium made hydration a critical issue. The Seminoles initially surged ahead with a 31-13 lead, fueled by a stunning 58-yard touchdown pass from quarterback James Blackman to wide receiver Keyshawn Helton. However, that victory eluded them as Boise State mounted a fierce comeback, ultimately securing a 36-31 win.
Following the game, former head coach Willie Taggart attributed the defeat, in part, to hydration issues faced by the team in the sweltering heat.
Looking ahead, anticipation is building for the upcoming clash against Alabama on August 30, 2025, set to kick off at 3:30 PM EST on ABC. Despite disappointment from fans hoping for a night game in the newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium, this day matchup means hydration will be top of mind once again.
“The 2019 game was a wake-up call,” a fan remarked. “Moving forward, hydration and preparation must remain a priority.”
FSU has made significant changes to its roster and coaching staff, indicating a renewed determination to reclaim its position among college football elites. As excitement brews for the season opener, fans are encouraged to bring not only their cheers but also water bottles to stay cool and energized for what they hope will be a triumphant return to glory for the Seminoles.
In 2025, let’s hope the only problem is keeping up with touchdowns, rather than coping with the heat.
