Video Highlights: At media day Sunday, Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden said he wants another national title. The Seminoles have won two titles under Bowden. He’s entering his 34th season at FSU.

Steve Spurrier backs Bobby Bowden when it comes to vacating victories.

Spurrier said Sunday that Bowden and the Seminoles should not have to give up 14 victories as part of the NCAA penalties because of an academic cheating scandal at Florida State.

Spurrier also said Florida State’s track team should not lose its NCAA championships that took place during the time in question.

“Yeah, I think (football) should get the wins and the track team should get the championship,” Spurrier said.
