FSU’s Casey Roddick Doesn’t Dwell on What He Can’t Control

The lineman hops on a Zoom call one day after the college football team he plays for made national news—and not for its undefeated season. Well, sort of for that, because the Florida State Seminoles did win each of their 13 games, did impress with their star quarterback and after losing him to injury. The Seminoles, in fact, did everything they could to make the College Football Playoff—only to be left out anyway.

That’s not the reason Casey Roddick, the versatile offensive linemen in question, is on the video call. But it still seems like the only appropriate place to start the conversation.

“There’s still stuff to do. There’s still work remaining,” Roddick says of undefeated Florida State’s postseason, despite being passed up for the College Football Playoff.
