Noles Place 15 on All-ACC Honors List.

November 29, 2022

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State had 15 players earn All-ACC honors Tuesday, including three on the first team, four on the second team, one on the third team and seven honorable mention. Safety Jammie Robinson was named a first-team safety for the second consecutive season, offensive guard Dillan Gibbons earned his first first-team honor after an honorable mention season in 2021, and defensive end Jared Verse earned the most votes among all defensive players in his first season in the league.

Quarterback Jordan Travis, running back Trey Benson, wide receiver Johnny Wilson and offensive tackle Robert Scott Jr. are on the second team, while offensive guard D'Mitri Emmanuel is on the third team.

Center Maurice Smith and running back Treshaun Ward are on the honorable mention list, joining defensive tackles Fabien Lovett and Robert Cooper, linebacker Tatum Bethune and cornerback Renardo Green. Punt returner Mycah Pittman is an honorable mention as a specialist.

Florida State's 15 total selections are the second-most in the conference this year and the most for FSU since 2015, when the Noles had 17 players represented. The four offensive linemen are tied for the most this season and FSU's most since having five in 2014, while the three first-team selections are FSU's most since having five in 2016.

Robinson, from Cordele, Georgia, led Florida State with 86 tackles and five quarterback hurries, adding 4.0 tackles for loss, four pass breakups and an interception. Robinson had a season-high 13 tackles against Wake Forest to earn Defensive Back of the Week honors, and his interception came the following week against NC State. Robinson added 10 tackles against Florida in the regular season finale and pressured the Gators into an incomplete pass on their final play to secure a 45-38 victory for the Seminoles.

The Seminoles are fourth nationally and lead the ACC with just 158.9 passing yards per game allowed.

Robinson is the first FSU player to earn first-team All-ACC honors in back-to-back seasons since running back Dalvin Cook and offensive lineman Roderick Johnson in 2015-16; he is the first defensive player since defensive back Jalen Ramsey in 2014-15.

Verse, from Dayton, Ohio, made an impact in his first season with Florida State, leading FSU with 7.5 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss, with 41 tackles, a blocked field goal and a fumble recovery. Verse finished in the Top 5 in the conference in both sacks and tackles for loss.

Against LSU, Verse was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week after all three of his tackles were for a loss, including 2.0 sacks. He added a blocked field goal against the Tigers - the first of his FSU career - as FSU went on to win, 24-23. Outside of the two games he was injured, Verse had at least 0.5 tackles for loss in every game and had three games with at least 2.5 tackles for loss. He recovered a fumble at Miami and returned it 10 yards as FSU beat the Hurricanes, 45-3.

Verse is the second Seminole defensive end in as many seasons to be named to the first team in his first year - Jermaine Johnson II was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2021.

Gibbons, from St. Petersburg, started all 12 games at left guard. The Jim Tatum Award winner as the ACC's top senior student-athlete, Gibbons and the offense ended the regular season with seven consecutive 200-yard rushing games, the longest streak in the country this season and tied for the longest in Florida State history. FSU leads the ACC with 217.8 rushing yards per game and is the only team in the league averaging 250 passing yards and 210 rushing yards per game.

The Seminole offense also ranks fourth in the nation on third down, converting 51.9 percent of its opportunities.

Gibbons was the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his performance at Miami, the second weekly honor of his career. He was an honorable mention All-ACC selection in 2021.

Travis, from West Palm Beach, is one of four players from FSU's high-powered offense on the second team. Travis passed for 2,796 yards with 22 touchdowns and ran for 481 yards with seven touchdowns. With his receiving touchdown at Syracuse, he is just the fourth quarterback in FSU history to account for 30 touchdowns and 3,000 total yards in a season, joining Heisman Trophy winners Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke and Jameis Winston.

Travis leads the ACC and is ninth nationally with 14.05 yards per completion, while ranking 12th in the country with 8.88 yards per attempt. He is on a current streak of six consecutive games with at least three total touchdowns and one or fewer turnover, the longest streak in Florida State history and tied with USC's Caleb Williams for the longest active streak in the country.

At Syracuse, Travis accounted for all five of FSU's touchdowns - three passing, one rushing and one receiving. He is just the second player in FSU history - and one of four nationally this season - with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game.

A semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award, Travis set a career high with 396 passing yards against Georgia Tech, which began FSU's current five-game winning streak. He ranks in FSU's Top 10 for career passing touchdowns (43) and rushing touchdowns (24), the only player in the Top 10 in both categories.

Benson, from Greenville, Mississippi, has won four of the past five ACC Running Back of the Week awards. After 111 yards and a career-high three rushing touchdowns against Florida, Benson ended the regular season with 965 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, both Top 20 in FSU single-season history. He also caught 12 passes for 111 yards and returned a kick 93 yards for a touchdown, one of just four ACC players with a kick return touchdown this year and FSU's first since 2013.

Benson has started five straight games and been the league's top runner four times, including setting career highs against Georgia Tech (111 yards), Miami (128) and Syracuse (163) in consecutive weeks before adding 111 and three touchdowns against Florida. Benson's 163 rushing yards against the Orange were the most for an ACC player on the road this season, and he scored three touchdowns in a game twice - against Boston College (two rushing, one kickoff) and Florida (three rushing).

Benson was the first player in ACC history to win three outright Running Back of the Week awards and he tied Pitt's Israel Abanikanda with four on the season.

Wilson, from Pacoima, California, led FSU with 35 catches, 695 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns. He averaged 19.86 yards per catch, ninth-best in the country. Wilson was the ACC's Receiver of the Week after setting career highs against Louisville with seven catches, 149 yards and two touchdowns in FSU's come-from-behind 35-31 win.

Scott, from Conway, Arkansas, started 10 games at left tackle to earn his first career All-ACC recognition. The sophomore was part of a line that three times did not allow a sack, FSU's most sack-free games since 2012. The Noles led the ACC in third down offense, pass yards per completion and rushing offense while finishing second in passing offense, sacks allowed and interceptions thrown.

Emmanuel, a transfer from Charlotte, started all 12 games at right guard and was the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week in FSU's 41-16 win against Georgia Tech. The Seminoles have scored 38 or more points in five straight games and scored 45 against both Miami and Florida in the same season for the first time in program history. As a unit, FSU had four Offensive Lineman of the Week honors on the season, tied for the most in the league and FSU's most since 2014.

Smith, from Miami, was twice named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week - against Syracuse and Florida. At Syracuse, FSU ran for 230 yards, while Benson had 163 yards, the most in a road game in the ACC this year. Against Florida, the Noles scored 45 points (FSU's most against Florida since 1992) and totaled 497 yards of offense, FSU's most in the series since 1994. The Noles scored five touchdowns on the ground, the most for any team against the Gators since 1997.

Ward, from Plant City, Florida, ran for 547 yards and five touchdowns in nine games, adding six catches and 19 yards receiving. Ward twice ran for over 100 yards - in the opener against Duquesne, when he set a career high with 127 yards and at Louisville, when he had 126 rushing yards. He scored two touchdowns against the Dukes in the opener and added scores against Boston College and two vs. Louisiana.

Lovett, from Vicksburg, Mississippi, was an honorable mention defensive tackle in 2021. He had 10 tackles, including 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack, over seven games. He added a pass breakup and forced a fumble against Louisiana, the first of his career.

Cooper, from Lilburn, Georgia, was also an honorable mention defensive tackle last season. He started all 12 games in 2022, finishing with 16 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. The redshirt senior has started 40 games in his career, the most among active Seminoles.

Bethune, from Miami, finished second on the team with 76 tackles while also ranking second with 8.5 tackles for loss. Bethune tallied 2.5 sacks, three pass breakups, a quarterback hurry and recovered his first career fumble at Louisville. Bethune's 14 tackles at NC State were the most for a Seminole in 2022, and he was one of just two ACC players with 14 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in a game.

Green, from Orlando, was fourth on the team with 52 tackles, adding 2.0 tackles for loss and four pass breakups. Green started 11 of 12 games for the FSU defense, who finished with the top passing defense and total defense in the conference. FSU allowed 62 passing yards to Miami and 65 at Syracuse, the two fewest passing totals in the ACC this season and the first time any FBS team has allowed 65 or fewer passing yards in consecutive games since 2019.

Pittman, from Tampa, finished second in the ACC with 9.4 yards per punt return. On offense, he caught 29 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns. Pittman had a 34-yard punt return against Wake Forest and also caught two touchdowns against the Demon Deacons. He added a 31-yard punt return against Clemson, and also caught a touchdown at NC State.


Payton Named ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year.

November 30, 2022

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Redshirt freshman defensive end Patrick Payton is the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, it was announced Wednesday afternoon. Payton is the third Seminole to win the award and first since 2012.

Payton, from Miami, finished with 29 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks over 12 games. He added three pass breakups, a quarterback hurry and forced a fumble in the Noles 45-3 victory at Miami. Payton's 4.0 sacks were the most in the conference among freshmen, and his 5.0 TFL were second behind teammate Joshua Farmer's 6.0 among ACC freshmen.

Payton set a career high with six tackles at NC State, including three tackles and a pass breakup on one series. All 4.0 of Payton's sacks were in conference play - 1.0 each against Boston College, Wake Forest, Miami and Syracuse - and his 38 sack yards lost were the sixth-most against ACC opponents.

Payton also added a tackle for loss against Georgia Tech. His forced fumble at Miami was the first of his career and one of five for Florida State on the season.

Payton is the third Seminole to be named the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year since the award was introduced for the 2007 season. Defensive backs Xavier Rhodes in 2010 and Ronald Darby in 2012 previously earned the recognition, and FSU's three winners are tied with Clemson for the most in the league.

Seminoles Top Duquesne, 47-7, In Season Opener.

by Chuck Walsh

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Jordan Travis completed 11 of 15 passes for 207 yards and three Florida State running backs rushed for over 100 yards each in FSU's 47-7 win over Duquesne to open the 2022 season. The Seminoles mounted six consecutive scoring drives in just over three quarters of play and the Nole defense was stifling in giving FSU the win in Doak Campbell Stadium and it's first 1-0 start since the 2016 season.

Running back Treshaun Ward led a ferocious ground game for the Seminoles with a career-high 127 yards on 14 carries for a career-high 9.1 yards per carry average. Trey Benson (105) and Lawrance Toafili (101) also gained over 100 yards marking the first time in school history that three running backs gained 100 rushing in the same game. Florida State's 406 yards rushing in the game are the most since totaling 478 in a 55-35 victory over USF on September 24, 2016.

Florida State scored the first 33 points of the game before surrendering a touchdown to the visiting Dukes. The Seminoles scored on seven of their first eight drives, as the offense was stopped only once through the first three quarters. For the game, the Seminoles scored on eight of their 11 possessions and punted only once.

Duquesne scored its lone touchdown on a 22-yard pass from quarterback Joe Mischler to Abdul Janneh with 4:37 remaining in the third quarter. The Dukes were limited to 164 yards on 47 plays - an average of 3.5 yards per play. Mischler was limited to just seven completions and 71 passing yards with his one touchdown pass.

"I'm really proud of our football team," said Head Coach Mike Norvell. "A lot of work has gone into the offseason and into preparation for this first game. We've got a lot of new faces - a lot of returners, but a lot of new faces that have come in and had their first opportunity to go out and compete in Doak Campbell Stadium."

Defensively, Florida State limited Duquesne to 71 yards passing and 93 yards rushing. The seven points allowed by Florida State's defense was the second fewest allowed in the Norvell era. The Seminoles limited UMass to three points in a 59-3 win over the Minutemen on October 23, 2021.

The Seminoles' defense totaled six tackles for minus yardage including 1.5 by Jared Verse and one each by Tatum Bethune, DJ Lundy and Joshua Farmer.

In addition to opening holes for 406 yards rushing, the Seminoles' offensive line allowed just one sack and one quarterback hurry.

"This was the first glimpse of the 2022 Florida State football team," said Norvell. "I'm proud of our players. It definitely wasn't a perfect game; there are a lot of things we are going to be able to learn from. A lot of guys played, got opportunities. There is some good, some bad, things that we are going to have to continue to grow upon. The experience and the approach is what I'm really pleased about.

"It was a tough and physical camp. I thought we showed a fast and physical football team."

Florida State scored on each of its five possessions of the first half, outgained Duquesne by better than a 4 to 1 margin, averaged 7.1 yards on 28 rushing attempts, 15.9 yards on 10 completions and 8.5 yards on 42 offensive plays and led 26-0 at halftime.

Offensively in the first half, Travis passed for 159 yards on 10 of 14 completions with four different running backs totaling 200 rushing yards. Ward gained 89 mostly spectacular yards on nine carries for an 8.9. yards per carry average. The Seminoles counted touchdowns by Ward, Toafili and Travis in the first half.

Verse and preseason All-American Jammie Robinson led Florida State with four tackles each. Verse, in his first game as a Seminole, totaled four tackles and the first sack of his career. Robinson led the Seminoles with two of their five pass breakups.

Blocked PAT Gives Florida State 24-23 Victory vs. LSU.

by Trey Iles

NEW ORLEANS - It had the makings of one of the most memorable miracle comebacks in LSU football's storied history. But a blocked extra point attempt by Florida State's Shyheim Brown with no time left spoiled the party and left Seminoles' fans in euphoria.

Brown's block gave the Seminoles a 24-23 victory in a back-and-forth down-past-the-wire game in the Allstate Louisiana Kickoff before 68,388 fans in the Caesars Superdome on Sunday night. The game was hosted by the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee in partnership with the Louisiana Office of Tourism and Allstate.

"We talked to our team all week that this game could come down to one play, to one opportunity," Florida State Coach Mike Norvell said. "And as you watch throughout the course of the game, I thought our guys put on display an incredible heart. Obviously, there at the end, we had some things that happened that we just can't have. But the one thing that happened on the last play is what we absolutely need.

"It's determination. It's heart. It's a willingness that, even after a disappointing moment, our guys responded. Anybody that's around our program, they know they hear that word all the time, "respond." How do you respond when the challenges arise? And effort showed up, guy (Brown) made a play there at the very end and gave us an opportunity to win that game."

Trailing 24-17 with 1:20 left, LSU (0-1) recovered a Florida State (2-0) fumble at its own 1. Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels then engineered a classic 99-yard touchdown drive that culminated when he passed 2 yards to wide receiver Jaray Jenkins for a touchdown as time expired.

But Brown, who broke through the left side of LSU's extra point protection line, got a hand on LSU kicker Damian Ramos' attempt as it hit the bottom of the cross bar and bounced to the turf.

The loss spoiled the debut of LSU Coach Brian Kelly, whom the university hired from Notre Dame in the offseason.

"(Florida State) outplayed us in the first half," Kelly said. "Certainly, mistake after mistake after mistake for us and particularly in the first half. And, you know, obviously more mistakes in the second half. We started to overcome some of those and played with, I would consider, more of a sense of urgency the last 12 minutes. But our margin for error was so small that we couldn't make any more mistakes.

"I was proud of our resolve. We battled. But we just have to learn how to play the game the right way, and that is for four quarters. We didn't play with the kind of sense of urgency that I want for four quarters, and that was evident in our play. We didn't tackle very well. We couldn't get off the field on third down. We didn't execute very well offensively."

But it was an impressive comeback by LSU, which trailed 24-10 with 9:04 left to play and hadn't shown much offense until the end of the game.

Daniels and Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis both produced fabulous performances. Travis passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 31 yards.

"That (LSU's) was one of the best defensive lines in the country," Norvell said. "They've got some really good players all over the field. And I thought that Jordan's decision-making, the way that he located the ball, the command of the offense was very good."

Daniels, a transfer from Arizona State making his debut with the Tigers, passed for 209 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 114 yards on 16 carries. Neither Daniels nor Travis threw an interception.

Daniels was clutch in the final drive, completing 7-of-8 passes for 66 yards and rushing for 33 yards.

"We got into a better rhythm certainly in the second half, Jayden did," Kelly said. "And he's a threat. But we don't want to rely on him having to go back there. And when he does sit in the pocket, we saw his ability to find open receivers, show the patience and in particular on the last touchdown, he stayed in the pocket, showed great patience and found Jaray Jenkins in the back of the end zone."

The Seminoles rolled up 392 yards, including 132 rushing and were 11 of 17 on third down. LSU, which scored 20 points in the final 15:08 of the game, had 348 yards, 139 rushing.

Travis and the offense scored on their first three possessions of the second half as the Seminoles drove 68, 57 and 72 yards for 17 points.

The Seminoles took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 68 yards to the LSU 7 where it settled 25-yard field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald for a 10-3 lead.

After holding LSU to a three-and-out on the ensuing possession, Florida State drove 57 yards for a touchdown and a 17-3 lead with 4:17 left in the third period. Travis hooked up with Wilson for their second touchdown of the night, which covered 27 yards.

But LSU's offense finally came to life then as the Tigers, led by Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels, answered with an 11-play, 82-yard touchdown drive. LSU running back Noah Cain carried for 1 yard for the touchdown to narrow the Seminoles' lead to 17-10 with eight seconds to play in the third quarter.

Travis engineered a Florida State touchdown on the ensuing possession of 72 yards on 12 plays. Running back DJ Lundy capped the drive with a 1-yard run with 9:04 to play.

Then it was LSU and Daniels' turn, as he led the Tigers on a 15-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Daniels passed 22 yards to Jaray Jenkins for a touchdown with 4:07 to play.

Florida State appeared ready to put the game away late when LSU's Malik Nabers muffed a punt at the Tigers 10 and Florida State recovered at the 8. But on third-and-goal at the LSU 1, Florida State running back Treshaun Ward fumbled on a direct snap and LSU's Mekhi Wingo recovered at the 1, setting up the 99-yard touchdown drive.

Florida State statistically dominated the first half but held only a 7-3 lead. The Seminoles had 166 yards to 119 for the Tigers but squandered two scoring opportunities inside LSU territory.

Florida State failed to take advantage of a big LSU mistake when the Seminoles, leading 7-3 with 3:15 left in the first half, recovered a muffed punt by LSU's Malik Nabers at the Tigers' 16.

The Seminoles drove to the LSU 8 where they faced fourth-and-2 and elected to go for it. But Travis' pass intended for Mycah Pittman in the end zone fell incomplete as the Tigers held.

Florida State took its first possession of the game from its 27 to the LSU 29 when the drive stalled and Ryan Fitzgerald missed a 47-yard field goal.

The Seminoles lone scoring drive of the first half was an impressive one and showcased Travis' ability. He led Florida State on a 14-play, 85-yard touchdown drive in which he completed five passes for 64 yards. The Seminoles scored on a flea flicker play when Travis threw 39 yards to Ontaria Wilson for the touchdown with 13:00 minutes left in the second quarter for the 7-3 lead.

Florida State converted four times on third down in the drive and, in fact, was good on six of its first seven third downs in the game.

LSU started fast as the Tigers took the opening kickoff and quickly marched deep into Seminoles territory. Daniels ran 25 yards from LSU's 35 to the Florida State 40 on the first play from scrimmage of the game. A late hit by the Seminoles pushed the ball to the Florida State 25.

LSU drove the Seminoles 5 when it faced second-and-goal. But an errant snap over Daniels' head pushed the Tigers back to the 19 as LSU settled for a 36-yard field goal by Damian Ramos to give LSU a 3-0 lead with 11:41 to play in the first quarter.

Florida State 35, Louisville 31

Rodemaker, Wilson Lead Seminoles To 35-31 Win over Louisville. LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Florida State engineered an impressive fourth quarter comeback to defeat Louisville 35-31 in Cardinal Stadium on Friday night.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Tate Rodemaker came off the bench to lead a heroic 35-31 come-from-behind effort in the Seminoles' ACC opener. FSU is now 3-0 for the first time since 2015.

Rodemaker entered the game in the second quarter and directed three second-half scoring drives two of which ended with touchdown passes to Johnny Wilson.

Rodemaker found Wilson, who finished with seven catches for 149 yards, with the game-winning touchdown pass from two yards out with 7:54 remaining in the game giving FSU its first lead since it was 7-0 in the first quarter.

Wilson's yardage total was the most for a Seminole receiver since a 165-yard performance in the 2019 Sun Bowl.

Kevin Knowles' interception with 37 seconds remaining in the game after Louisville had crossed midfield preserved the win for the Seminoles.

Rodemaker completed six of his 10 passes and threw for 109 yards in his first extensive playing time since 2020.

"I'm so very proud of our football team," said Head Coach Mike Norvell. "We've talked about it since we started back in January; it's about the investment, the work, the relationships. We've got a very confident football team in times of adversity because they know they've invested work. I thought, tonight, even with the adversity that showed up, our guys willed themselves to victory."

Rodemaker entered the game late in the second quarter following the injury to Jordan, who has started each of the Seminoles' first three games of the season. While he struggled early, his finish was superb in earning his second career win as Florida State's quarterback.

Rodemaker and the Seminoles gained a total of 12 yards on four offensive plays in two offensive series before halftime. He completed one pass for minus six yards, was sacked once, and threw an interception, and Florida State trailed 21-14 at the half.

Rodemaker played completely differently in the second half. He led Florida State on a 10-play 75-yard touchdown scoring drive to tie the game. Running back Lawrance Toafili tied the game again on a 15-yard end around dash to pull the Seminoles back to even at 21-21.

After Louisville retook the lead by a 28-21 margin on an 18-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback Malik Cunningham, Rodemaker and Wilson went back to work.

Rodemaker connected with Wilson on consecutive passes to tie the game at 28-28. The longest Seminole play of the night came as Rodemaker hit Wilson for a 69-yard pass in stride. That play immediately set up a 10-yard touchdown pass on the next snap.

Following a 36-yard field goal by James Turner which gave the Cardinals a 31-28 lead with 11:45 remaining in the game, Rodemaker led the Florida State offense on an eight-play, 75-yard drive - and another touchdown pass to Wilson — giving the Seminoles the game-winning score.

In the second half, Rodemaker completed five of seven passes for 115 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in outscoring the Cardinals, 21-10, over the final 30 minutes of play. Not only did the Seminoles outscore the Cardinals in the second half, but Florida State outgained the home team by a 238-205 yard margin, totaled zero turnovers and held a time of possession advantage by nearly seven minutes.

"I'm so proud of Tate Rodemaker," said Norvell. "I knew we could win with Tate. Knew we could win with Tate. I've seen it in practice. I've seen him work. I've seen him so much invest and be prepared for the moment. He got put in a challenging situation, but he went out and responded in the second half. It's an incredible example of what this team is built on."

Treshaun Ward led Florida State's running backs with 126 yards rushing. It marked the second time in Florida State's first three games of the season that he has rushed for 100 or more yards. With 126 yards on 10 carries, he averaged an astounding 12.6 yards per carry.

Though Florida State trailed, 21-14, after two quarters of play, it showed a tremendous desire to win their ACC road opener in a very tough environment.

A very entertaining first half saw 35 total points, 507 yards of total offense and 27 passes completed by both teams (14 for Florida State and 13 for Louisville). Unfortunately for the Seminoles, they trailed 21-14 - the first time they had trailed at the half this season.

Before he was injured, Travis completed each of his first 11 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns, all in the first quarter. Travis threw touchdown passes to Preston Daniel and Malik McClain, with both players earning their first touchdowns of the season. The touchdown catch for Daniel was the first of his career.

The two first quarter touchdown passes moved Travis into a tie for 20th place in school history with 25 career passing touchdowns.

Florida State's defense, which limited Louisville to 10 points and just one of six conversions on third down plays in the second half, withstood the Cardinal's offensive charge in the second half. Linebacker Tatum Bethune and defensive back Akeem Dent led Florida State with 10 tackles each. The 10 stops were season-high tackle totals for both players.

"That's a special night," said Norvell. "One that I will remember forever."

Seminoles Race By Boston College 44-14.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis set career-highs for both passing yards and total offense in leading the Seminoles to a 44-14 win over Boston College in Tallahassee on Saturday. The win pushed FSU's record to 4-0 and the Seminoles are off to their best start since 2015.

Travis completed 16-of-26 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown, and gained 16 yards on his only rush for a career-best 337 yards of total offense in just three quarters of play.

Florida State's Trey Benson returned the opening kickoff 93-yards for a touchdown and the Seminoles never looked back in the convincing win. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown by the Seminoles since Kermit Whitfield's 100-yard return in the 2014 Rose Bowl National Championship game win over Auburn and the first opening kickoff return for a touchdown in Doak Campbell Stadium history.

FSU's offense did not give the Eagles a chance to breathe, scoring on each of its first three possessions after the special teams TD to open the game. Omarion Cooper set up FSU's second score with an interception at Boston College's 34-yard line. A 32-yard pass from Travis to tight end Camren McDonald put the Noles near the goal line, and a one-yard TD run by Lawrance Toafili with 12:52 left in the first quarter made it 14-0 Florida State.

FSU took a 21-0 lead with 6:05 left in the first when Benson rushed over the right side for a 15-yard touchdown capping a 10-play, 94-yard drive that is the Seminoles' longest of the season.

Ryan Fitzgerald's 30-yard field goal put the Seminoles up 24-0 early in the second quarter, and Travis found Kentron Poitier with a 31-yard scoring strike with nine seconds left in the half to give the Seminoles a 31-0 lead at the half, it's largest halftime lead in an ACC game since leading Syracuse 38-0 in 2013.

FSU stretched the lead to 37-0 in the third quarter on a 22-yard touchdown run by Treshaun Ward that capped a 90-yard drive, but the extra point attempt missed to the right.

Boston College dashed the Noles' hope for a shutout with a 12-play, 75-yard drive scoring when quarterback Phil Jurkovec found Alex Broome in the end zone with a five-yard TD pass as the third quarter came to an end.

Benson's third touchdown of the game came in the fourth quarter when he ripped past the left side of the Boston College defense on a 36-yard run that put the Seminoles up 44-7 with 9:30 left in the game.

Boston College closed out the scoring when Jurkovec threw his second touchdown pass of the game with :50 left to make the final score 44-14.

Florida State receivers shined in the game with Poitier scoring his first touchdown of the season. Ontaria Wilson's 72-yard reception is FSU's longest play of the year and his career-long, and Darion Williamson finished with a team-high 98 yards and five catches.

Noles Fall to Wake Forest, 31-21.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Wake Forest kicked a 27-yard field goal with 2:55 left to put the game out of reach as the the 22nd-ranked Demon Deacons churned out over 400 yards of total offense to hand No. 23 Florida State its first loss of the season 31-21 in Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday.

Wake quarterback Sam Hartman completed 22-of-34 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns with many coming on critical third downs. Justice Ellison gained 114 yards on 18 carries to lead a balanced Demon Deacon offensive attack.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis threw for three touchdowns and completed 23-of-35 passes in the loss. Treshaun Ward led all Seminole rushers with 87 yards on 13 carries.

The Demon Deacons' unique offense gave FSU trouble all day particularly on crucial downs where Wake finished 10-of-18 on third downs.

Wake led 21-7 at the half and were up 28-7 in the third quarter. Despite outscoring them 14-10 in the second half, Florida State could never close the gap to less than the final 10 point margin.

Leading 21-7 as the second half began, Wake Forest took the opening drive and raced through the FSU defense on a 75-yard drive taking a 28-7 lead on a 12-yard touchdown run by Ellison.

FSU cut the lead to 28-13 on the next drive when Travis completed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Mycah Pittman with 5:14 left in the third quarter. The Noles' went for two on the ensuing extra point but failed.

The Seminoles made it 28-21 with 9:32 left in the game when Travis hit wide receiver Johnny Wilson with a touchdown pass from the 4-yard line and then connected with tight end Markeston Douglas for the 2-point conversion.

FSU had another golden opportunity late in the game after a 44-yard punt return by Pittman set the Noles up at Wake's 43 with 4:57 left in the game, but the possession resulted in a missed field goal.

Initially, it looked like Florida State might light up the scoreboard after taking the opening drive right down the field moving 83 yards on six plays and scoring on an 18-yard pass from Travis to Pittman with 12:26 left in the first quarter.

Wake Forest answered with an impressive 13-play, 80-yard drive of their own. They tied the score at seven with 4:25 left in the first quarter on Christian Turner's 1-yard touchdown dive on fourth down.

The Demon Deacons took a 14-7 led early in the second quarter when quarterback Hartman escaped a collapsing pocket and found wide receiver A.T. Perry with a 4-yard touchdown pass. The score capped a 12-play, 90-yard drive for Wake.

The Deacs were set up with a short field on their next drive when Travis fumbled after a short gain on the Seminoles' first play of the drive. Taking over at the FSU 35, Wake scored on a 20-yard pass from Hartman to Donavan Green to take a 21-7 lead with 11:15 left in the half.

FSU's last possession of the half started on their own 26 with 3:54 left and it appeared the Seminoles were going to narrow the gap but came up empty when Ryan Fitzgerald missed on a 29-yard field goal attempt with :26 left.

NC State Edges Florida State, 19-17.

RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State intercepted Jordan Travis' pass in the end zone with 38 seconds left in the game to hold on for a 19-17 win over Florida State in Raleigh, N.C. Saturday night.

The Wolfpack (5-1) relied on four field goals from Chris Dunn and a stingy defense to win their 14th straight home game.

While FSU (4-2) scored all 17 of its points in the second quarter, the Seminoles mounted a game-closing drive moving the ball to the NCSU 22-yard line before the turnover.

Jordan Travis was 15-of-30 through the air for 181 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. He was also FSU's leading rusher with 108 yards on seven carries. Running back Treshaun Ward had 51-yards on just five carries before an injury ended his night early in the second quarter.

NC State quarterback Devin Leary completed 10-of-21 passes for a touchdown and threw one interception before leaving the game in the second half with an injury. Jordan Houston led the Wolfpack ground game with 90 yards on 24 carries.

FSU gained 387 yards of total offense to the Wolfpacks' 307 and the Noles' defense limited NC State to 2-of-13 on third-down conversions.

NC State opened the scoring with 3:06 left in the first quarter on a 38-yard field goal by Dunn that capped a 7-play, 38-yard drive.

Florida State took the lead 7-3 with 11:29 remaining in the second quarter on a one-handed catch by Mycah Pittman on Jordan Travis' 14-yard touchdown pass. The scoring play was set up by a 71-yard run by Travis.

FSU stopped NC State's best scoring threat of the second quarter when a 34-yard wheel route pass from Devin Leary to running back Jordan Houston put them at FSU's 48. The Seminoles' stuffed the next two plays and safety Jammie Robinson picked off the third down pass attempt at the 28-yard line with under four minutes remaining in the half.

The defensive stand loomed even larger when Florida State drove 72-yards on just seven plays with the next possession to take a 14-3 lead on Lawrance Toafili's 12-yard run with :48 left in the half.

After holding NC State to a three-and-out and with most of the stadium expecting little over the final :38 seconds of the half, Mycah Pittman appeared to camp under NC State's punt. But it turns out he was just drawing defenders to his side of the field while Ontaria Wilson collected the punt on the opposite side and raced 46-yards to set up FSU's final score - a 47-yard Ryan Fitzgerald field goal to make it 17-3 at the half.

NC State took the opening possession of the second half 84-yards on 10-plays cutting FSU's lead to 17-10 on a 10-yard pass from Devin Leary to Darryl Jones.

The Wolfpack cut the lead to 17-13 late in the third quarter when backup quarterback Jack Chambers replaced an injured Leary and sparked a 52-yard drive with a couple of key runs and Dunn hit a 40-yard field goal.

FSU's defense stopped the Wolfpack in the red zone after a special team mistake set them up on the Seminoles 13-yard line. Penalties and a dominating defensive front pushed the Wolfpack back to their 37-yard line, but Dunn nailed a career-long 53-yard field goal to make it 17-16 with 12:07 left.

Dunn gave the Wolfpack the lead for the first time since the first quarter with a 27-yard field goal with 6:33 left which proved to be the game winner.

Clemson Edges FSU 34-28.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Fourth-ranked Clemson recovered Florida State's onside kick attempt with 2:17 left in the game to hang on for a 34-28 win over the Seminoles in Tallahassee Saturday night.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis found wide receiver Kentron Poitier with a 25-yard touchdown pass with 2:17 left in the game to draw within a score of the Tigers at 34-28. With no timeouts left, the Seminoles' best option was to try the onside kick. Once Clemson recovered, they were able to run out the clock for the win.

The Seminoles (4-3, 2-3 ACC) used a balanced offense to rack up 460 yards of total offense. Quarterback Jordan Travis was 24-of-42 passing for 254 yards and two touchdowns and gained 64 yards on 14 carries with one rushing touchdown. Trey Benson led FSU with 69 yards on seven carries and Lawrance Toafili gained 68 yards on 11 rushes.

Clemson (7-0, 5-0 ACC) quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was 15-of-23 through the air for 203 yards and three touchdowns. Will Shipley led the visiting Tigers with 20 rushes for 121 yards.

Florida State opened the game with an impressive nine-play, 75-yard drive and took a 7-0 lead on Travis' 20-yard run with 11:41 left in the first quarter.

Clemson (7-0, 5-0 ACC) evened the score at seven when Uiagalelei found Antonio Williams with a 59-yard touchdown pass with 6:52 remaining in the first quarter.

The Seminoles went up 14-7 seconds into the second quarter on D.J. Lundy's one-yard touchdown dive that capped a 15-play, 93-yard drive and bled 6:50 off the clock.

Uiagalelei's 7-yard touchdown pass tied it again at 14 with 8:19 left in the half, and a 47-yard field goal with 1:51 gave Clemson a slim 17-14 that looked like it was going to be the halftime score. But Clemson got the ball back with :47 left when they sacked Travis and recovered the fumble at FSU's 42-yard line. The Tigers' Shipley popped a 36-yard run, his longest of the game, to get Clemson down to FSU's five where Uiagalelei ran it in for a 24-14 lead at the half.

Clemson returned the second half kickoff 69 yards to Florida State's 31 and scored on a touchdown pass on the next play to take a 31-14 lead.

A 34-yard field goal with 7:32 left in the third quarter put the Tigers up 34-14 but would be the last points of the night for Clemson.

FSU cut the lead to 34-21 with a 60-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter. Taking over after a punt at their own 40, Travis engineered a 7-play, 60-yard drive with a 25-yard run by Lawrance Toafili the big play that put the Seminoles in scoring position. On third and goal, Travis rolled to his right and found Ja'Khi Douglas with a 6-yard touchdown pass with 9:22 left in the game.

Florida State Moves To 5-3 With A 41-16 Win Over Georgia Tech.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State's churned out a season-high 642 yards and held Georgia Tech to just 2 of 13 on third conversions in a 41-16 win in Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday afternoon.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis completed 24 of 38 passes for 396 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Trey Benson led all rushers with 111 yards on 18 carries. Lawrance Toafili gained 70 yards on 13 carries and scored once on the ground and on a 62-yard reception.

Georgia Tech quarterback Zack Pyron was under heavy rush all day but completed 18 of 28 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown. No Yellowjacket running back gained over 50 yards.

The win elevates Florida State to 5-3 on the season and 3-3 in ACC games. The loss dropped Georgia Tech to 3-5 and 2-3 in the ACC.

Georgia Tech scored first taking a 3-0 lead on a 38-yard field goal with 3:58 left in the first quarter. It looked like FSU would score first but the Seminoles fumbled a direct snap from the Tech one-yard line and Charlie Thomas scooped the ball and raced 71-yards to the FSU 24 before being tackled from behind by Jordan Travis.

The Seminoles took the lead for good 7-3 on Toafili's seven-yard touchdown run with two seconds left in the first quarter. The score capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive that began on FSU's 20.

Florida State stretched its lead to 14-3 with 10:34 left in the half on a 78-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Travis to Johnny Wilson who shook off a defender at midfield and raced to the end zone.

The Noles increased their lead when Jordan hit Toafili perfectly in stride on a seam route and he took it 62 yards for a touchdown to put the Noles up 21-3 with 2:52 left in the second quarter.

The Seminoles made it 25 unanswered points in the first half with a 35-yard Ryan Fitzgerald field goal as time expired taking a 24-3 lead at the half.

FSU's defense completely dominated Tech in the first half allowing just 24 yards of total offense and one first down.

The Yellowjackets surprised FSU with an onside kick to open the second half taking over at the FSU 44. Five plays later, quarterback Zack Pyron hit EJ Jenkins with a 32-yard TD pass to cut the Seminoles' lead to 24-10 just under two minutes into the third quarter.

FSU bounced back on the ensuing possession driving 91 yards on 12 plays capped by a 24-yard TD pass from Travis to Ja'Khi Douglas to go up 31-10 with 13:06 left in the third quarter.

Fitzgerald's second field goal of the game, this from 24 yards, gave the Noles a 34-10 lead with 13:31 in fourth.

FSU's final score came with 1:09 left and with a number of starters on the bench. The Seminoles used 12 plays to drive 97 yards with running back C.J. Campbell scoring on a 7-yard run to make it 41-10.

Georgia Tech scored with no time left on the clock and an extra point was not attempted to make the final score 41-16.

Florida State Blows by Miami 45-3.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Florida State built its largest halftime lead over Miami in the series history and the Seminoles dominated Miami in every phase of the game in a 45-3 win in Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night.

FSU's offense moved the ball at will and the defense held the Hurricanes to less than 200 yards of total offense in winning by the second-largest margin ever over Miami.

Noles quarterback Jordan Travis completed 10 of 12 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and Trey Benson gained 128 yards on 15 carries with a pair of scores to lead the potent offensive performance.

Both teams scored on their first possessions of the game with Florida State (6-3, 4-3 ACC) scoring first on a 56-yard touchdown pass from Travis to Ontaria Wilson for a 7-0 lead just 98 seconds into the game. Miami (4-5, 2-3 ACC) answered with a 49-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 9:20 left in the first quarter after gaining 45 yards on nine plays.

FSU took its second possession 57 yards on seven plays and led 14-3 after a 1-yard touchdown pass from Travis to fullback D.J. Lundy.

The Seminoles pushed the lead to 21-3 on a brilliant 13-yard touchdown run by Benson at the 12:11 mark in the second quarter. The score came on a short field following a shanked punt by Miami and it took just three plays, all rushes by Benson, to cover the 39-yards on the drive.

FSU's defense, which had forced Miami into three consecutive three-and-outs, set up the Seminoles' fourth touchdown when Greedy Vance picked off Jake Garcia's third down pass attempt and returned it 10 yards to the Hurricane's 7-yard line. Benson carried it in from the one three plays later to make the score 28-3 FSU with just over five minutes left in the first half.

The Seminoles' final possession of the half started on the 18-yard line with 1:52. Travis stayed in the pocket and took a huge hit but not before he lofted the ball to Lawrance Toafili for a 65-yard pass. Four plays later, Ryan Fitzgerald's 41-yard field goal gave the Noles a 31-3 halftime lead.

Travis was 8-of-10 for 169 yards and two touchdowns at the half. Benson had 94 yards on 11 carries, and FSU's defense held Miami to just 76 yards of total offense in the half.

After a goal line stand in the waning seconds of the third quarter that ended with a Miami fumble on a bad snap that was recovered by Jared Verse, Travis' 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Camren McDonald gave FSU a 35-point lead at 38-3 five seconds into the fourth quarter.

CJ Campbell capped the scoring with 1:36 left in the game with a 3-yard touchdown run for a 45-3 win.

Florida State DOminates Syracuse 38-3.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Florida State's defense did not allow a touchdown for a second consecutive game and the Seminole offense was nearly unstoppable in FSU's 38-3 win at Syracuse on Saturday.

The Noles' defensive front dominated the Orange all night and finished the game having allowed Syracuse just 160 yards of total offense with most of that coming once FSU's substitutes checked in early in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Jordan Travis was nearly perfect for Florida State completing 21 of 23 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game with nearly four minutes left in the third quarter. Running back Trey Benson had his third outstanding game in a row with 18 carries for 163 yards.

The win boosted FSU to 7-3 on the season and 5-3 in the ACC, while Syracuse dropped to 6-4 and 3-3 in conference play.

Florida State's defense set the tone on the opening possession forcing a three-and-out by Syracuse. FSU's offense showed they were ready to go as well driving 72 yards on eight plays on its first drive and going up 7-0 on a three-yard touchdown run by Jordan with 10:07 left in the first quarter.

FSU made it 14-0 with 2:26 left in the opening quarter when Travis connected with Malik McClain who used a stiff arm to score from 15 yards out.

Syracuse scored its only point on a 30-yard field goal with 13:32 left in the first half. The drive was the first of the half for the Orange that was not a three-and-out. SU drove 63 yards on eight plays for the score.

Florida State's defense set up the Noles' next score. Pinned against their goal line, Syracuse could not move the ball and the ensuing punt would have given FSU good field position regardless, but a nifty Mycah Pittman return and a 15-yard penalty for a facemask put the ball at the Orange 24. Travis hit Johnny Wilson with a short pass that he took 24-yards for a touchdown.

Florida State's last possession of the first half began at its own 18 with just over 4:00 left to play and used the remainder of the clock taking a 24-3 lead into the half after Ryan Fitzpatrick's field goal from the 40 split the goal posts with no time left on the clock.

FSU held Syracuse to just 61 yards of offense at the break.

The Seminoles came out hot in the second half as well after a failed onside kick set them up with good field position on their first drive. Travis made it 31-3 FSU with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kentron Poitier.

FSU switched things up on their final score of the night using a reverse pass on fourth and goal with Wyatt Rector hitting Travis, who had slipped into the end zone, with a two-yard scoring pass to go up 38-3 midway through the third quarter.

FSU held Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader to 6 of 16 passing for 65 yards. SU star running back Sean Tucker managed just 52 yards on 14 carries.

Florida State Cruises By Louisiana 49-17.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State scored on seven of its first eight possessions and starting quarterback Jordan Travis was able to sit out the entire second half as the 20th-ranked Seminoles cruised to a 49-17 win over the Ragin' Cajuns in Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Travis completed 9-of-14 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as FSU mounted a 35-3 halftime lead.

Trey Benson led a group of five running backs who gained 30 yards or more with 80 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Ten different FSU receivers caught a pass.

FSU's defense stifled Louisiana for most of the game limiting the visitors to just 4-of-14 on third downs. The Seminoles recorded four quarterbacks sacks and six tackles-for-loss in the lopsided win.

Louisiana quarterback Chandler Fields finished with 19 completions on 36 attempts for 159 yards and a touchdown. The Ragin' Cajuns' top rusher Dre'lyn Washington managed just 57 yards on 10 carries, while Michael Jefferson led their receivers with six catches for 60 yards and a touchdown.

The win moved FSU to 8-3 on the season while Louisiana dropped to 5-6 on the year.

Florida State came into the game as the nation's second-best team at scoring on the opening drives of a half. They kept that trend alive driving 75 yards on their first eight plays and scoring when Treshaun Ward lined up at quarterback and raced 36 yards up the middle for a touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick's extra point made it 7-0 FSU with 12:29 left in the first quarter.

After holding Louisiana to its second straight three-and-out, FSU made it two straight touchdown drives on a quarterback keeper around the right side by Travis for a 3-yard touchdown. The 8- play, 65-yard drive made it 14-0 FSU with 7:37 left in the first.

FSU went up 21-0 late in the first quarter on a 13-yard touchdown run by Travis that capped a 7-play, 53-yard drive.

Midway through the second quarter, Ward shifted into the wildcat quarterback spot again and scored from a yard out making it 28-0 Seminoles with 6:59 left.

Malik McClain's acrobatic catch of a 9-yard touchdown pass from Travis increased the Noles' lead to 35-0 with 3:14 left in the half. The big play on the drive was a 32-yard reception by tight end Camren McDonald.

Louisiana's only drive of any length of the half came on their last possession. Starting at their own 25 following a touch back, they drove to the Seminole 2-yard line before being forced to settle for a 24-yard field goal as the clock expired.

Florida State's defense allowed the Ragin' Cajuns a total of just 75 yards in the half and just 34 rushing yards. The Seminoles' offense was extremely efficient converting on 4-of-5 third down opportunities and punting just once.

Tate Rodemaker checked in at quarterback on FSU's first possession of the second half and led the Seminoles on a 4-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard Trey Benson touchdown run. The big play on the drive was a 45-yard pass from Rodemaker to Kentron Poitier.

On the ensuing possession, Fabian Lovett ripped the ball away from the ballcarrier and Shyheim Brown pounced on the fumble at the Ragin's Cajuns' 18. True freshman A.J. Duffy came in at quarterback and kept up the offensive fireworks connecting with tight end Markeston Douglas for a touchdown from 16 yards out for a 49-3 score with 8:22 left in the third quarter. It was the first career touchdown pass for Duffy and the first career TD reception for Douglas.

Louisiana scored their first touchdown of the game with 11:07 left to play. Driving 64-yards on 12-plays, the Ragin' Cajuns went for it on fourth down from the 5-yard line and Fields found Michael Jefferson in the back corner of the end zone with a touchdown pass to make it 49-10.

The last score came with 5:16 left on a short TD run that capped an 8-play, 64-yard drive against FSU's reserves making the final score 49-17.

Florida State Tops Gators 45-38.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State scored 17 unanswered points early in the third quarter to build a 38-24 lead and then held on to beat rival Florida 45-38 Friday night in Doak Campbell Stadium.

Trey Benson's 17-yard touchdown run with 4:06 left in the game broke a 38-38 tie and Florida's last-minute drive to send the game into overtime died when Anthony Richardson's pass on fourth and long fell harmlessly into the end zone.

While Seminoles quarterback Travis Jordan's passing numbers were modest, he was nearly unstoppable running the ball. Jordan finished 13 of 30 through the air for 270 yards and a touchdown and gained 83 yards on 15 carries with a pair of touchdowns.

FSU's defense gave up some big plays through the air, but limited UF's Richardson to just nine completions on 27 attempts for 198 yards but three of those were for touchdowns. Travis Etienne led UF's running game with 129 yards on 17 carries.

Florida State finishes the regular season with a 9-3 record and await the announcement of the bowl parings, while Florida dropped to 6-6 on the season.

The start was a bit ominous for FSU as a perfect pass from Travis to Ontaria Wilson for a 29-yard gain and a sure first down turned into a turnover when Wilson fumbled going to the turf. On the ensuing possession, Florida left their offense on the field on fourth-and-two and FSU took back the momentum with a great defensive play.

FSU magnified the impact of the defensive stand by scoring on their next possession. Benson weaved through the UF defense for a 45-yard gain to the Gator 9-yard line then scored from there on the next play to give FSU a 7-0 lead.

Florida tied it on its next play from scrimmage when Richardson connected with a streaking Ricky Pearsall for a 52-yard touchdown to make it 7-7 with 4:06 left in the first quarter.

The Gators made it 14-7 when Richardson found an uncovered Jonathan Odom in the right flat who lumbered untouched from 12 yards out for the touchdown with 4:06 left in the first.

Travis tied the game at 14 on a spectacular 29-yard touchdown run with under two minutes left in the initial stanza. The score capped a 6-play, 75-yard scoring drive.

Richardson's third touchdown pass of the half put the Gators up 21-14 in the second quarter. Richardson set up the score by hitting Ricky Pearsall on a crossing route for 32 yards and on the next play found him racing up the right hash for a 43-yard touchdown with 9:25 left in the second quarter.

Another phenomenal run by Travis on a scramble set up the Noles' tying score with 5:44 left before the half. On third-and-10, Travis looked like he was going to be sacked for a big loss, but he outraced the Florida defense for a 10-yard run to the one. He took it in himself on the next play to make it 21-21.

Florida took a 24-21 lead into the locker room after hitting a 41-yard field goal with :42 left on the clock.

FSU came out of the second half hitting on all cylinders, particularly defensively, forcing the Gators into three straight three-and-outs and scoring on its first three drives.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, who missed a 38-yarder field goal attempt earlier in the game, drilled a 46-yarder with 8:53 left in the third to knot the score at 24-24.

After forcing a three-and-out for the Gators on the next drive, FSU mounted an 8-play, 66-yard drive with Benson carrying it over from the 1-yard line for a 31-24 lead with 4:21 left in the third.

Another outstanding defensive series set up FSU's offense with great field position at the UF 44 after a personal foul for a hit out of bounds was assessed on the punt return. It took Florida State just two plays to score going up 38-24 on a 6-yard touchdown pass from Travis to Kentron Poitier with 2:28 remaining in the third.

Florida cut the Seminoles' lead to seven with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in a one-yard Montrell Johnson touchdown run with 10:35 left after a slew of penalties gave UF eight snaps from inside FSU's 5-yard line.

Etienne tied it up again 38-38 with 7:41 left with a 45-yard touchdown run through the middle of the Seminole defense on a third-and-five.

FSU bounced back with what would prove to be the game-winning drive. Travis methodically marched the offense 65 yards on seven plays the last two were Benson runs. Benson ripped off 16 yards to set the Seminoles up with a first down on the UF 17 and then scored the game-winner on a slashing 17-yard run with 4:06 left to play for the 45-38 final margin.

Florida State Tops Oklahoma 35-32 in the Cheez-It Bowl.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Ryan Fitzgerald hit a 39-yard field goal with just 55 seconds left to give 13th-ranked Florida State a 35-32 win over Oklahoma in the 2022 Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando, Fla. Thursday night.

In a game full of big plays on both sides of the ball, the Seminoles churned out 587 yards of total offense and recorded six quarterback sacks and 11 tackles for loss in the win that secured a 10-win season and continues the national narrative of FSU as one of the hottest programs in the country.

Game Most Valuable Player Jordan Travis was 27-of-38 passing for 418 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He completed two or more passes to six different receivers with Johnny Wilson having a great night with eight receptions for 202 yards. Treshaun Ward led all FSU rushers with 81 yards on 10 carries, and Travis had 50 on the ground.

Oklahoma had a pair of running backs go for over 100 yards each and quarterback Dillon Gabriel was 14-of-24 through the air with one touchdown.

Florida State opened the game with an impressive 75-yard, 13-play drive and took a 3-0 lead when Fitzgerald's 22-yard field goal split the uprights with 11:26 left in the first quarter.

Oklahoma scored on the ensuing drive when Dillon Gabriel's pass found Jalil Farooq in the end zone from 22 yards out to give the Sooners a 7-3 lead at the 7:01 mark of the initial stanza.

The Seminole defense came up big later in the first quarter when the offense failed to convert on fourth down and Oklahoma took over at the Seminoles' 43-yard line. But Oklahoma's three plays lost yards back to their 48-yard line and they were forced to punt.

The Sooners' offense had a short field once again late in the first quarter setting up at FSU's 49-yard line. Eight plays later, Gabriel scored from eight yards out on a quarterback keeper around the right end to make it 14-3 OU with 14:31 left before the half.

A second fourth down conversion attempt by Florida State failed setting Oklahoma up at their own 43-yard line with 11:39 left. After a 28-yard pass got the Sooners down to the 16, FSU's defense stuffed the Sooner attack and forced a 28-yard field goal attempt that sailed wide left.

The defensive stand ignited the FSU sideline and the offense ripped off big chunks of yardage on its next drive with Travis hitting Ontaria Wilson with a perfectly placed 16-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone. The Seminoles went for two with tight end Wyatt Rector hitting tight end Brian Courtney for the conversion and a 14-11 score with 7:18 left in the half. The drive covered 56 yards on six plays with the biggest plays being a pair of passes to Johnny Wilson of 14 and 23 yards.

Oklahoma drove 65 yards on seven plays on their final possession of the half extending their lead to 17-11 on a 41-yard field goal with 15 seconds left.

Travis completed 10-of-14 passes for 170 yards and one TD in the first half. He also led the Seminoles in rushing with 34 yards on five carries. Johnny Wilson had 110 receiving yards on seven catches for his third 100-yard game of the season.

Florida State had a great start to the second half taking its first lead since its first possession in the game on a masterful 94-yard drive on its initial drive of the second half. The Seminoles used 15 plays and nearly five minutes to take the 18-17 lead when Ward took the snap in the wildcat formation and plunged in from the one.

The Sooners, who were shut out during the third quarter, went up 25-18 with 13:22 left in the game on a Gavin Sawchuck touchdown run up the middle and a successful two-point conversion.

FSU bounced right back on its next drive capping a 75-yard scoring drive with a 38-yard touchdown run by Ward that tied the score at 25-25 with 11:05 left.

The Seminole defense came up with a huge play on Oklahoma's next possession when Omarion Cooper's hit on Sawchuck knocked the ball out and Jammie Robinson recovered it at the FSU 36. Six plays later, Travis hit tight end Markeston Douglas with a 17-yard touchdown pass to put FSU up 32-25 with 7:22 left.

Oklahoma tied the score at 32-32 with 3:37 left on a 12-yard Jovantae Brown run that capped a nine-play, 75 yard drive, before FSU used up most of the clock to kick the game winner.
