Florida State is remembering Bowden this season with tributes such as Bowden’s name on the back of their helmets along with commemorative logos on their sideline polos, above the tunnel and on the field at the 25-yard line at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Sunday night at Doak, Mike Norvell’s squad is giving Noles fans plenty to cheer about. FSU currently leads No. 9 Notre Dame 20-17 early in the third quarter.
