Three five-star recruits from South Florida who were committed to Florida State's rivals over the last 20 months but who ended up in Tallahassee.
On Thursday night, against the No.1 defense in the country of the Louisville Cardinals, FSU needed each to come up big. And they did.
Down 24-7, and having not run through a route earlier in the game on a play that ended up an interception, Travis Rudolph got loose deep and Jameis Winston found him for a 68-yard touchdown to pull FSU within 24-14.

Next, it was Dalvin Cook's turn, as he turned on the jets after some nifty moves for a 40-yard touchdown run to make the score 24-21.
Next it was Lane's turn, as Jameis Winston somehow rifled a third down pass into traffic that ended up in the arms of Lane, who scampered 47 yards on third and long, as FSU took the lead 28-24.
After a Louisville touchdown, Cook put Florida State back ahead for good, with a 38-yard touchdown run, thanks in part to a block thrown by? Freshman receiver Ermon lane.
Cook finished 110 yards on 9 carries, including two touchdowns. He did not have a carry for negative yards, and added 40 yards on 4 catches.
Rudolph caught two for 76 yards, and Lane had two for 58.
FSU put up 580 yards before the final kneeldowns. 49 percent of those were from five-star recruits who were formerly committed to FSU's rivals.
