Tallahassee, Fla. – Bobby Bowden and Florida State are heading to Colorado this weekend for the first time in his long coaching career, and Bowden said this week he’s more concerned about the 8 p.m. start time than the altitude.
“It’s past my bedtime, but not theirs,” said Bowden, who is 20-6 in his career against Big 12 teams. The mark includes his 0-4 ledger against Oklahoma, as well as a 47-7 rout of the Buffaloes when they made their lone trip to Tallahassee in 2004.
“We won’t pay attention to that altitude thing,” Bowden said. “I’ve been asked, ‘What are you going to do about the altitude?’ I ain’t going to do a darn thing. We can’t let that get into their (players’) head. We’ll breathe whatever they give us.”
The Seminoles don’t head west until Friday.
