I don't find surprising that losing FSU fans might deface the players cars in anger. What I find surprising about this story is about the "players cars".
I realize that FSU fans probably know where the players park at Doak Campbell so they could find their cars to do ill if they were inclined. But this game was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA 2,250 miles from Doak Campbell. Who knew where the players park there?
Even more intriging what player from drives to Pasadena from Tallahassee? Most teams fly together even if travelling separately they stay at the TEAM hotel, each TEAM meals, and travel together.
Besides Anthony Valdes home of record isn't in Southern Califronia but Royal Palm Beach, FL.
Do Rose Bowl players get perked rides for game week?

After 29 consecutive victories and a national championship, would Florida State fans really be so angry over their team's College Football Playoff elimination Thursday that they would take out their frustrations on the players' cars?
According to the Twitter account of Seminole freshman linebacker Anthony Valdes, that answer is a surprising yes. Here's a series of Friday tweets from Valdes:
