Flashback Friday: The last time FSU played Pitt, placekicking was the Noles Achilles Heel

,
A missed extra point cost FSU at least a tie back in 1983, as Pitt prevailed 17-16 (and, yes, a tie could've been possible as college football didn't eliminate them until 1996). That one-point loss left the Noles at 3-5 in the series and eager for a rematch. It would take 30 years before the two teams would tee it up again.
