1. Be happy Greg Reid is a good actor. Or that maybe he actually held on to the interception. If you were the ref, did you see enough visual evidence to overturn the call? Nope, they didn’t either.
2. Be happy Nick Moody didn’t “get down” as Jimbo was trying to signal to him after no. 10 made the interception with seconds to go. FSU deserved those style points after having another INT TD called back for the vicious but legal hit Greg Reid made.
3. Be happy Christian Ponder didn’t reinjure his drained and pained elbow with some of the hits he took on keepers.
4. Be happy FSU's in position to win a divisional title and a spot in the ACC title game in Charlotte.
5. Be happy Jimbo has a few pages left from the Riverboat Gambler playbook -- and finally used one. The beautifully executed trick play on the fake punt worked precisely because a trick play was the last thing Maryland expected.
6. Be happy Shawn Powell is such a great passer. Hey, he has a 100% completion rate after the forward flick to Mike Harris for the 33-yard shocker.
7. Be happy Bert Reed still catches more than he drops. He led the Noles with six grabs for 93 yards and some sweet YACs on the TD run. Come to think of it, be happy Reed proved he still has the moves.
8. Be happy FSU is 2-for-4 for the season on cliffhanger, nail-biting, final second victories.
9. Be happy that FSU’s D, even though trying its best at times to imitate the ’09 defense, was opportunistic and tightened up when the game was on the line. After the Noles took a 20-16 lead in the fourth quarter, the defenders forced two interceptions and a fumble.
10. Be happy FSU has the potential to finish with 11 wins on the season (if they beat the gators, win the ACC title game and knock off a bowl team). Unlikely? Yes, but remember that predicting 11 wins before the season could have gotten you committed. So be happy it’s gone from a pipe dream to an actual possibility.
