The Seminoles are remembering Bowden this season with his name on the back of their helmets and his signature hat painted on the turf at Doak Campbell Stadium.
In the action on the field, Notre Dame holds a third-quarter lead, but Florida State is giving the No. 9 team all it can handle in the season opener.
