​For the second time in seven days, FSU football went into victory formation in an opposing team’s stadium. This time, Ashton Daniels kneed it out to complete a 16-10 win over the Pittsburgh Panthers on Friday night, firing up their fans.Interim head coach Rick Stockstill admitted it wasn’t the prettiest effort from the offense, but they did enough to earn the win. Gabe Panikowski nailed all three of his field goal attempts, and Amari Thomas punched it in against a stout Pittsburgh defense to secure the massive win, improving them to 5-5 overall and 3-4 in ACC play.Interim defensive coordinator Ernie Sims had the defense leading the way, shutting down the Panthers in the second half. They got an interception to set up the Thomas touchdown and forced three turnovers on downs. Pittsburgh had just 125 yards of offense after the break, averaging 3.4 yards per play and going 1-7 on third down. Despite even more injuries, FSU once again found ways to win. Starting running back Amari Thomas left with an injury, forcing Zay Parks, a former walk-on and the fifth-string running back, to lead the way in the second half. Backup offensive lineman Luke Francis had to play some snaps along the defensive line due to a combination of injuries.FSU interim head coach Rick Stockstill spoke with the media after the game to discuss the game. He talked about FSU’s defensive line, Jasen Lopez’s emergence, and more. Here are his full quotes after FSU’s critical win over Pittsburgh, with the Seminoles posting the press conference on YouTube.Rick Stockstill on FSU beating PittsburghFirst of all, again, I appreciate y’all sticking around here.

A show of toughness and resiliency. I talked to the team all week about, you know, the last couple days about, you know, the most talented team doesn’t necessarily always win. It’s the team that plays the hardest, the team that plays the hardest the longest, that competes the longest, that fights the hardest, that’s tougher both mentally and physically.I thought you saw that out there tonight. We fought. We competed, man, on both sides of the ball. Got critical stops on defense, critical fourth down stops. Offensively, we got some conversions. Unfortunately, we turned the ball over that one time down there on that. When we were going into the red zone there, they could have changed the game a little bit quicker. But we didn’t flinch. Nobody flinched. Offense, defense, we didn’t flinch. And we came back and made plays. Again, played really good together.Complementary football. We got stops on defense. We got a turnover on defense.Offensively, we scored. We converted, got touchdown after the defense got us an interception. Finally got a great punt, you know, on that last one there and put them back down there. So, you know, I thought all th
