Urban Meyer Led Team Puts Tommy Castellanos in Heisman Debate but FSU Done Dirty by Officials

Remember the time when Florida State Seminoles quarterback Thomas Castellanos landed in a deep soup after making the Nick Saban comment? He found the support of his head coach, Mike Norvell. “Tommy is a tremendous young competitor…ultimately confidence comes through the work and, as I’ve told him, I’ve watched the work.” And Castellanos ensured to make Norvell prouder. Against the Virginia Cavaliers, with just 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Castellanos delivered a laser-precise 11-yard touchdown pass to Randy Pittman Jr.

Jake Weinberg’s extra point made it official, capping off a thrilling drive with sheer precision and poise. The clock was winding down, but Castellanos and Pittman Jr. refused to let the moment slip, turning pressure into magic and electrifying the stadium with a finish that left everyone on the edge of their seats. Bringing more heat to the moment, Urban Meyer’s podcast spiced things up with a tweet. Sharing Castellanos’ highlight reel, the podcast wrote, “Is Tommy C building a Heisman campaign?”

But that too did not save Norvell’s boys from undergoing a poor fate. Thanks to bad officiating.
