Phoneix, AZ - Florida State Sophomore Defensive End Mike Burnette tied a 2 decade old record set by Alabama's Derrick Thomas by recording his 27th sack in today's Fiesta Bowl. The Sack was his 3rd of the game and followed a record-breaking 7 sack performance against the Tennessee Volunteers in the last week of the regular season.Thomas set the record for the 1988 Crimson Tide in 11 Total Games. Burnette tallied his record in 13 games for the Seminoles. "Obviously, my goal next season is to try to break the record in 10 or 11 games" said Burnette.
Burnette had been a backup / situational substitute for the Seminoles until the Fiesta Bowl, where he received his first start. Coach cjohnchavis is expected to use Burnette in a starting roll next season.
