Here are the bios for this matchup:

No. 3 seed Ron Sellers vs. No. 6 seed Lee Corso

Ron Sellers was such a dominating force for Florida State's offense in the late 1960s that many of his performance still are recognized in the Seminoles' record books some 50 years later. In fact, Sellers still holds the top four spots in FSU history for receptions in a game with a career-best 16 vs. South Carolina and three more games with 14 apiece. Nicknamed "Jingle Joints," the 6-foot, 4-inch Sellers actually holds seven of the top eight spots overall. He also holds the school records for catches per game during a season and a career, and his 1,496 receiving yards in 1968 still stand as No. 1 in FSU history. His five touchdown receptions against Wake Forest in '68 are another school best -- and he holds the marks most 200-yard receiving games in a season (4) and career (5). Sellers went on to be drafted No. 6 overall by the Boston Patriots of the American Football League but only enjoyed modest success in the NFL.

Lee Corso was a standout on both sides of the ball at FSU in the mid-1950s and held the rare distinction of leading the Seminoles in interceptions, rushing and passing during different seasons. Corso's career record of 14 interceptions was No. 1 in school history for two decades, and he still ranks No. 3 all-time in a tie with Deion Sanders. Only Terrell Buckley (21) and Monk Bonasorte (15) had more. Corso's six interceptions during the 1954 campaign still ranks as one of the 10 best season marks in school history. Corso also turned in three 100-yard rushing games; he led the Seminoles in rushing in 1955 and total offense in '56. Corso went on to a successful coaching career and has become a beloved ambassador for college football as one of the longtime hosts on ESPN's "College GameDay."
