My earlier tweet assumed Georgia wins...not Alabama. It also assumes Michigan wins.

FYI, FSU didn’t play North Florida….it was North Alabama. Semantics, I know!

Have to wonder if FSU is putting pressure on the kid/medical team to play. Most important game of the year. If he isn’t healthy and doesn’t pass concussion protocol he shouldn’t play.
Does the team or an independent medical professional evaluate the player in this case?

Clearly his father is going along with the plan to complicate things for Louisville. They all know full well whether Tate is playing or not. This is strategy, and it’s what any smart coach would do in this situation.

FSU medical staff will act in the players best interest. Star players have missed several games this year and will be out tonight because they are not medically cleared.

What’s best for Tate is the most important. But this sure is a gut punch. Makes me hate the Gators even more.

Don’t take any chances. Big game but just a game. Your son’s health is most important.

Man I wish him well great kid. His health come before football on any given day. That the privilege that Mike Novell has a group of QBs that can step up on any giving Saturday. Go Noles

Wife is DNP at FSU Health and said they’d never rush a player through the concussion protocol (usually about two weeks.) Tate has had no live contact in practice and Glenn has taken most of (if not all) the first team reps. I’m pretty sure they know and just don’t want to say.
