The running back wears orange and blue, but he grew up bleeding garnet and gold. Jeff Demps has a confession to make: Once upon a time he wanted to be a Seminole, not a Gator.

“I was always a Florida State fan growing up, I always wanted to go there,” said Demps, who will end his regular-season collegiate career Saturday night against FSU. “For me to finish out my college career against those guys definitely means a lot. Growing up and watching this game, I never thought I'd be playing in it. For me to come out with a victory against a childhood team that I loved would be pretty nice.”
