One of Saturday’s most surprisingly entertaining games was Florida State-NC State, with the defending national champions nearly falling to the Wolfpack’s upset bid. After the game, NC State head coach Dave Doeren made some accusations towards the Seminoles, suggesting his up-tempo offense was slowed by convenient Florida State injuries.

NC State’s coach alleged Florida State faked injuries to gain an advantage in their win over the Wolfpack. The Seminoles’ coach did not appreciate it.

Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher was not amused.
Jimbo Fisher on NC State coach Dave Doeren accusing FSU of faking injuries: "I accuse him of not knowing what he's talking about."
— Natalie Pierre (@Natalie_Pierre) September 29, 2014 The injury in question occurred to defensive lineman Eddie Goldman, one of Florida State’s most important defensive players (who plays an instrumental role following the injury of nose tackle Nile Lawrence-Stample).
Update, 9/30: Doeren has since apologized for his comments.
It wasn’t the only complaint made by Doeren after Florida State’s dramatic comeback victory. The head coach also called out the referees, saying there was “some unbelievable holding” by the Seminole offensive line that “apparently is invisible.”
