Florida State offensive line coach Rick Trickett was released from the hospital Sunday after a weekend stay for a health issue that caused him to miss the No. 2 Seminoles' win Saturday. Florida State spokesman Kerwin Lonzo said Trickett would return to the team Tuesday or Wednesday. Hours before Saturday's game against then-No. 5 Notre Dame, the athletic department announced Trickett would not coach in the game because of a personal health issue. Trickett, in his eighth season as the Seminoles' offensive line coach, was replaced by graduate assistant David Spurlock, who played under Trickett at Florida State. Trickett's son Chance, who works in the recruiting department at Florida State, told ESPN.com in a message on Sunday that his father is in "high spirits" and was able to watch Saturday's win. The Seminoles gave Chance the game ball from the 31-27 win so he could deliver it to Trickett. Earlier Saturday, Trickett's son Clint threw three touchdown passes to lead unranked West Virginia to a 41-27 upset of No. 4 Baylor. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Clint was not told about his father's condition until after the game. Trickett's son Travis is an assistant coach at Samford.
