Florida State has turned down an offer to play South Florida in Jacksonville next season, according to NoleInsider.com.
The story says Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett met with South Florida officials about playing a game in 2009 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. FSU coach Bobby Bowden said on Sunday that there have been talks about playing either the Bulls or Florida Atlantic next season but neither appears likely, the story says. FSU is still seeking a 12th game for next season.
South Florida and Florida State have never met. The Bulls have agreed to future series with in-state powers Miami and Florida.
