I’m not sure but I think FSU adjusted their rotation. I thought Hubbart was their Saturday guy. Suffice it to say that they’ve bookended the series with their quality lefty starters.

And for those beating up on the pitching….

• TCU sits eighth in the league in hitting (.268), third in ERA (4.43) and third in fielding percentage (.978).

No doubt there’s been some issues with the late game pitching but it’s hard to say that pitching is the major issue at this point.

Really would be a boost to win tonight for a number of reasons.
