Then, they rallied from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Auburn Tigers in the final seconds to win the BCS National Championship with quarterback Jameis Winston winning the Heisman Trophy along the way.
Although the Seminoles lost a starting defensive back, Tyler Hunter, for most of the season to a neck injury and had a few other minor problems along the way injury-wise, their health was a huge reason for their success. Now, before the season has begun, they’ve already lost one player for the 2014 season.
According to Patrick Nohe of FanSided’s fantastic Florida State website, Chop Chat, Purifoy is out for the season with an ankle injury.
Delvin Purifoy is done for the year with a ankle injury similar to what Jacobbi McDaniel once suffered. Jacobbi's took two years... #FSU

Purifoy wasn’t going to be counted on to make a real impact but the 4-Star recruit Pensacola, Florida would have likely seen time on special teams.
