Paul Piurowski, one of the best linebackers to ever play in the garnet and gold, carved his way into Seminole history with an outstanding career. As the team's fourth leading tackler in 1978, despite
missing several games due to injury, he improved to second in both his junior and senior years. Combining with fellow linebacker Reggie Herring for more than 200 stops each year, the pair led the
Seminoles to back to back Orange Bowl Classics. Piurowski's best season came in 1979 when he made 123 tackles, had 6 sacks, and scored a touchdown off an interception while helping Florida State to a
perfect 11-0 regular season mark. During his final two seasons the Tribe posted 21 wins against 3 losses. Piurowski went on to play for the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits.
