Jordan Travis Voted ACC Player Of The Year, ACC
Offensive Player Of The Year. November 29, 2023
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis was voted the ACC's Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, it was
announced Wednesday.
Travis was 207-of-324 passing for 2,756 yards and 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions while adding 176 yards and seven touchdowns on 73 rushing attempts. He is the only
player in the ACC and one of three nationally with 20 passing touchdowns and two or fewer interceptions and leads the ACC in fewest interceptions thrown, the second-lowest total among quarterbacks
nationally with at least 200 attempts, and ranks second in the conference in passing efficiency, yards per pass attempt and passing yards per game. He ranks third in the ACC in points responsibility
per game, yards per completion, total offense per game and completion percentage.
He is Florida State's all-time leader in total offense and touchdowns responsible for, records he achieved earlier
this year, and previously broke program records for quarterback rushing yards and quarterback rushing touchdowns. Travis broke FSU's career touchdown responsibility record on his game-winning
touchdown pass in overtime at Clemson and took over the program's career total offense record on his go-ahead rushing touchdown in Florida State's win against No. 16 Duke.
Travis, a redshirt senior
from West Palm Beach, led the Seminoles to an undefeated 8-0 mark in ACC play, the program's 10th unbeaten conference record and first since 2014, and was the quarterback of record for each of FSU's
first 11 wins in 2023. A three-time ACC Quarterback of the Week honoree, Travis began the season with a career-high four touchdown passes and a fifth touchdown on the ground in FSU's 45-24 win over
No. 5 LSU. In the second half against the Tigers, Travis had an ESPN QBR of 99.9, the highest rating in a half by any quarterback nationally against a ranked opponent since Jameis Winston in 2013.
He is the only player in FSU history and the only active player nationally with at least seven rushing touchdowns in four straight seasons, and his 31 career rushing touchdowns are fourth on FSU's
career list. He also is tied with Winston for second in FSU history with 65 passing touchdowns and is the only player in program history ranked in the top-10 in career passing and rushing touchdowns.
Travis also ranks second on FSU's all-time career lists for passing yards and wins as a starting quarterback while standing third in completions and completion percentage.
Travis has been prolific
at putting points on the scoreboard this season. He produced a program-record streak of 16 straight games accounting for multiple touchdowns and also tied his own school record with a streak of four
consecutive games with at least one rushing and one passing touchdown. Travis also produced a streak of 22 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass, a streak that ended on Nov. 18 when he
was injured in the first quarter.
Earlier this season, Travis produced a stretch of 184 consecutive passes without an interception, the fifth-longest in FSU history and 13th-longest in ACC history.
He had an active streak of 126 passes without an interception at the time of his season-ending injury and is the only player in program history with two streaks of at least 120 passes without an
interception in the same season. Adding a streak of 120 passes in 2021, he is the only player at Florida State with three different streaks of at least 120 passes without an interception in a
career.
Travis is Florida State's seventh ACC Player of the Year and first since 2013 when Winston earned the award. Charlie Ward earned the distinction in 1992 and 1993, Danny Kanell won the honor
in 1995, Andre Wadsworth was voted the best player in the conference in 1997, and Chris Weinke earned the award in 2000.
This marks the third consecutive season the Seminoles have earned an
individual ACC award under the direction of head coach Mike Norvell. In 2021, Jermaine Johnson II was the conference's Defensive Player of the Year and in 2022 Patrick Payton was the Defensive Rookie
of the Year.
Travis was also named a semifinalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award and Jason Witten Man of the Year as well as being included on the Johnny
Unitas Golden Arm Award Top 10.
Mike Norvell Voted ACC Coach Of The Year. November 30, 2023

of the Year, it was announced Thursday.
Norvell has led the Seminoles to a perfect 12-0 record, including 8-0 in the ACC, and the top seed for Saturday's ACC Championship Game. He produced the
seventh unbeaten regular season in program history and only the fourth 12-0 mark in a season, joining the 1999 national championship team, the 2013 national championship team and the 2014 College
Football Playoff semifinalists. Norvell is the sixth different ACC coach to lead his team to an undefeated record in conference play since 2000.
Florida State is ranked No. 4 in each of the major
rankings this week and has been in the top-5 for 13 consecutive weeks after opening the season with a 45-24 win over No. 5 LSU in Orlando. The Seminoles have seven wins this season over bowl-eligible
Power 5 conference teams, tied for the most in the country, and also are tied for the national lead with four wins in games it trailed by at least 10 points. FSU is the only team that has produced a
stretch in which it outscored its opponent by at least 17 points in every game this season, and its eight games with a plus-24 scoring run rank second.
Norvell's team placed a program-record 25
selections on the All-ACC teams announced earlier this week, including at least one at every position. FSU's eight first-team selections led the conference, and it also topped the ACC in second-team
and third-team honorees.
The Seminoles lead the nation in opponent completion percentage, fewest turnovers lost and pass breakups. FSU leads the ACC in scoring offense, ranking 10th nationally with
an average of 38.8 points per game, and scoring defense, allowing only 16.8 points per game to rank 11th in the country, and are one of four teams in the top-12 nationally in both categories. The
Seminoles are also one of five teams in the country ranked in the top-30 in both pass defense and passing yards per game.
Florida State ranks third in the country in kickoff return average, fourth
in net punting average and fifth in 3rd-down defense, pass efficiency defense and turnover margin per game while also ranking seventh in sacks per game and ninth in total touchdowns scored. FSU also
leads the ACC in fewest interceptions thrown, rushing touchdowns, passing efficiency, yards per completion, red zone offense, points scored by kicking, PATs made, field goal percentage and punt return
yards.
Norvell is Florida State's first ACC Coach of the Year since 1997. He joins College Football Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden, who won the award in 1993 and 1997, as the only FSU coaches to
be voted the conference's Coach of the Year.

and off the field, it was announced Friday.
"I am thrilled to be this year's recipient of the Dodd Trophy," Norvell said. "The values of athletic success, academic excellence and character
represented by this award align with what we emphasize in our program. Those characteristics have been on display through some truly challenging circumstances this season, but I am so proud of how our
team responded each and every time. For that to be recognized in this way is an honor. I am incredibly thankful for the support we have here at Florida State to help us develop young men to be
impactful on the field, in the classroom and in their community. From President McCullough to the Board of Trustees chaired by Peter Collins to athletic director Michael Alford, everyone has been in
alignment with these goals and that has been huge in propelling us forward. I am thankful for our entire football staff and the tireless approach they have to helping us reach our best, and I am
thankful for our players who have accepted the challenge of pushing to reach their best in everything they do. This is truly a team award, and I'm honored that Florida State University has this
recognition."

Florida State 45, Louisiana State 24
09/03/2023, Orlando
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. FSU Opens Season With Huge Win Over LSU.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida State exploded for 31 second half points after trailing 17-14 at halftime to crush
No. 5 LSU 45-24 in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.
FSU's defense set the tone early when a haymaker by the LSU offense on its first drive had the Tigers in scoring position, but Florida
State showed its muscle stoning the Tigers on six plays from inside the five finishing off LSU's drive with a sack on fourth and goal by DJ Lundy.
Highly-regarded transfer wide receiver Keon
Coleman proved the preseason attention warranted as he caught three touchdown passes and had nine receptions for 122 yards. Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Travis completed 21-of-31 passes for 342
yards and four touchdowns and perhaps just as important he settled a Seminole offense that looked sloppy at times in the first half.
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was 22-of-37 for 347 yards and
one touchdown which came with the game out of reach with under a minute left. The Tigers managed just 113 yards rushing for the game with FSU also finding their running game stymied finishing with 135
yards on 34 attempts.
FSU's defense sacked Daniels four times, while the Seminoles' did not allow a sack all game.
The first half would not have left many in the packed stadium believing the
game would be a blowout as the two went back and forth over the first half.
Following the impressive goal-line stand on the Tiger's first possession, the Noles engineered a masterful 86-yard
scoring drive that included overcoming an offensive pass interference call. The 9-play drive was capped by a 40-yard touchdown pass from Travis to Coleman for the 7-0 lead early in the first
quarter.
LSU bounced back on their next possession driving 75-yards on nine plays to tie the score 7-7 on a 1-yard plunge by running back Tre Bradford with 3:48 on the clock.
Neither team could
mount any kind of a running game in the first quarter with FSU gaining just 16 on three tries and LSU 12-yards on 10 carries. The Tigers' Jayden Daniels was 8-of-12 through the air for 151 yards,
while Travis was 6-of-9 for 94 yards.
With the score 7-7, FSU mounted a second brilliant goal line stand stymying the Tigers on the first snap of the second quarter. LSU went for it on fourth and
inches in the shadow of FSU's goalposts and for the second time, the Seminole defense turned back the Tigers without allowing a point.
It appeared Florida State got a huge break on their ensuing
punt when the Tigers fumbled a fair catch attempt that was recovered by Azareye' Thomas at the LSU 22, but the Noles gave it right back on the next play when Travis dodged a pass rusher then threw an
interception in the left flat.
An LSU punt that hit near the 20-yard line and crawled all the way inside the FSU 1 put the Tigers in great position after Florida State failed to make a first down
and the punt from the back of the end zone set the Tigers up at midfield. A quarterback keeper through the middle of the Seminole defense was the big play on the five-play 51-yard drive that gave LSU
a 14-7 lead with 6:02 left in the first half when a 1-yard touchdown run finally penetrated FSU's goal-line defense.
The Seminoles bounced back with its best drive of the half to tie it at 14 with
1:01 left in the half. Travis marched FSU 75-yards in 10 plays that burned 5:01 off the clock. He found Coleman in a one-on-one match on the right side of the endzone and put it up high for a 21-yard
touchdown pass, their second of the night.
On the ensuing possession, LSU took a 17-14 lead into the locker room at half after driving 67-yards on 10 plays in 57 seconds that ended with a 36-yard
field goal.
Travis finished the opening half completing 14-of-21 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. LSU's Daniels was 11-of-22 for 188 yards.
Florida State took the opening possession of
the second half down to the LSU 16 before the nine-play, 60-yard drive stalled and Ryan Fitzgerald made it 17-17 when he connected on a 33-yard field goal with 9:19 left.
FSU made it 10 unanswered
points in the third quarter when Travis walked in untouched on a 1-yard touchdown run. He connected on 41-yard pass plays to both Coleman and Lawrance Toafili on the 7-play, 87-yard drive that put
the Noles up 24-17 with 2:42 left and the score stood going into the fourth quarter.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, cornerback Renardo Green stepped inside an LSU receiver who had slipped
on the route and picked off Daniels' pass to set up the Nole offense at their 43-yard line. Eight plays later Travis and Coleman hooked up for their third touchdown, this from seven yards, to put FSU
up 31-17 with 10:18 left in the game.
FSU kept pouring it on in the fourth quarter. Travis found tight end Jaheim Bell wide-open for a 44-yard touchdown that stretched the Noles lead to 38-17 with
seven minutes left and Bell's second touchdown of the game made it 45-17 with a little over a minute to play.
LSU finally got a second half score with 1:15 left on a 75-yard touchdown pass through
a prevent defense.

Florida State 66, Southern Mississippi 13
09/09/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 FSU Breezes By Southern Miss For 2-0 Start.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State's offense scored on nine of 12 drives, the defense stymied
Southern Miss all night and Seminole starters on both sides of the ball were pulled early in the third quarter in a 66-13 win over the Golden Eagles in Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday night.
FSU's
Trey Benson scored a career-high-tying three touchdowns and led the No. 4 Seminoles with 79 rushing yards on just nine carries.
Quarterback Jordan Travis completed 15-of-29 passes for 175 yards and
two touchdowns and rushed for 20 yards on six carries in the win that pushed the Seminoles to 2-0 on the season and extended their win streak to eight games dating back to the six games won over the
second half of last season.
Six different Seminoles scored touchdowns, and five running backs had 30 yards or more in a game in which FSU played four different quarterbacks.
FSU outgained
Southern Miss 554 yards to 258 with most of USM's coming late in the game.
Golden Eagles quarterback Billy Wiles was pressured all night and finished 11-of-34 through the air for 154 yards and no
touchdowns. Rodriques Clark led the visitors with 86 rushing yards on 15 carries.
FSU took the opening drive 76 yards on eight plays that were equally split between rushing and passing. The
Seminoles went up 7-0 when Travis connected with Darion Williamson on a 10-yard touchdown pass.
The Seminoles went up 14-0 with 2:44 remaining in the first quarter on a drive that included three
fourth-down conversions. The first coming at the Southern Miss 48 when Travis rolled left and retreated 20 yards before hitting Lawrance Toafili to convert. Travis' legs kept possession on the
second conversion when he rolled left, reversed field, and easily gained the 10 yards for a first. Trey Benson finished the possession when he took a handoff on 4th-and-1 and raced 18 yards for the
touchdown making it 14-0.
The Seminole special teams got into the act on the ensuing kickoff with a successful and surprising onside kick recovered at their own 49 with 2:28 left in the initial
stanza. But FSU could not convert on its fourth 4th-down attempt of the night when Travis' pass to Keon Coleman was broken up in the end zone.
Florida State's defense held Southern Miss to just 19
yards and only 10 plays in the opening quarter while FSU's offense gained 149 yards on 27 plays.
Southern Miss cut into the lead with 11:28 left in the first half with a nine-play drive that
covered 57 yards and culminated with a 30-yard field goal by Andrew Stein to make it 14-3.
On the ensuing possession, FSU raced through the Southern Miss defense with Lawrance Toafili's
electrifying 34-yard run setting up a 3-yard touchdown plunge by Benson to stretch the lead to 21-3.
The Noles went up 27-3 on a 6-yard touchdown pass over the middle from Travis to Coleman.
Already a fan favorite in just his second game at FSU, Coleman set up the score with a tight rope down the sideline on a 34-yard catch that included a highlight-reel hurdle of a Golden Eagle
defender.
Ryan Fitzgerald closed out the first half scoring with a 35-yard field goal as time expired putting FSU up 31-3.
While Southern Miss did not do themselves any favors with 11 penalties
in the first half, the Seminoles outgained USM 294 yards to 70. Travis completed 15 of 29 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Toafili led all rushers with 41 yards on eight carries and Benson
had 34 on seven rushes.
USM quarterback Billy Wiles completed just 4-of-13 passes for 61 yards.
After forcing yet another three-and-out for the USM offense on its first possession of the second
half, it took Florida State just two plays to score on a drive that started on the USM 45 following a short punt. Benson rushed for a short gain on first down before busting loose for a 42-yard
touchdown putting the Noles up 38-3 just 1:44 into the third quarter.
Southern Miss faced third and long on their next possession and Jarrion Jones picked off Wiles' pass and raced into the end
zone for a 30-yard touchdown. It was the first interception return for a touchdown for a Seminole defender since the 2021 season.
Florida State pulled most of their starters for the next series
and on his first play quarterback Tate Rodemaker hit tight end Markeston Douglas on a short out route that he turned into a 42-yard touchdown that made it 52-3.
Southern Miss made it 52-10 with
4:41 left in the third quarter mounting an 89-yard drive in 13 plays that culminated in a 12-yard touchdown run by Rodriques Clark.
With 14:09 left in the game, Rodemaker connected with Vandrevius
Jacobs and he took his first career reception in for a 13-yard touchdown capping an 83-yard drive and extending the lead to 52-10.
The Noles reached 65 points with 11:00 left in the game when
reserve running back Caziah Holmes made a move in the hole and outran the defense on the way to a 40-yard score.
A 40-yard Southern Miss field goal with 5:32 left made the final margin 66-13.

Florida State 31, Boston College 29
09/16/2023, Chestnut Hill, Mass.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 3 Seminoles Move to 3-0 With Win at Boston College.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - In a game of scoring runs by both teams, Florida State, which led 31-10
early in the third quarter, staved off a second half Boston College rally to defeat the Eagles 31-29 in Chestnut Hill on Saturday.
Jordan Travis, who missed FSU's last snap in the first half but
played the entire second half, completed 16-of-24 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions on a day when the Seminoles found rushing yards hard to come by.
The Seminoles
managed just 128 yards on the ground on 34 attempts and Travis had 38 of those on four carries.
Jaheim Bell led all FSU receivers with five catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. Johnny Wilson had
four catches for 105 yards.
BC sophomore quarterback Thomas Castellanos was 20-of-35 for 305 yards and a touchdown and converted two long third downs with passes in the fourth quarter to keep the
Eagles close. He also led the Eagles in rushing with 95 yards on 16 carries.
The Eagles' final possession came with 4:37 left in the game on their own 22, but two quarterback sacks coming off
blitzes by Seminole cornerbacks forced a punt.
Boston College served notice from the outset that they were ready to play scoring on its first drive of the game on a 32-yard pass to Lewis Bond.
Castellanos completed each of his four passes on the opening drive for 76 yards.
BC's game plan to use as much time as possible worked early as FSU had just one offensive possession in the first
quarter. On that lone drive, the Seminoles used two big passes to Wilson, including a 21-yarder for a first down on 4th-and-2 to drive 61 yards on 11 plays. A 30-yard field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald
made it 7-3 with 5:59 left in the quarter.
BC once again worked the clock on their next drive eating over 7:00 minutes on a 16-play, 72-yard drive that gave them a 10-3 lead after a 21-yard field
goal with 13:22 left in the half.
On just its second offensive set of the game, FSU marched 75 yards on six plays tying the score when Travis hit Bell on a short pass in the left flat that he ran
in from the 19 to tie the score at 10 with 10:23 before the half.
Trey Benson gave FSU its first lead at 17-10 with a 2-yard touchdown plunge behind the left side of the offensive line with 1:27
left before the half. The Seminoles drove 88 yards on seven plays and used just 3:27 to do so.
After allowing the Eagles offense to score on its first two drives, FSU's defense adjusted allowing
BC just 64 yards on 16 plays on their last three possessions of the first half with 45 of those coming on a Castellanos run.
Florida State took the opening possession of the second half. It took
FSU just six plays and 2:32 to take a 24-10 lead. Travis used play action on the scoring play finding Preston Daniel all alone on a 4-yard touchdown pass.
The Noles' defense continued their
outstanding adjustments on the next play when linebacker DJ Lundy picked off Castellanous' on the BC 40 setting up FSU's 21st unanswered point when the Seminoles scored just two players later. Travis
hit Bell with a 39-yard pass down to the one and Lundy, who had checked in at fullback, carried it in to make it 31-10 with 11:20 left in the third.
Boston College cut into the lead with a 12-play,
80-yard drive that made it 31-16 with 1:02 left in the third after Kye Robichaux piled in from the 1. The Eagles missed the extra point.
BC squibbed the ensuing kickoff and pounced on the
mishandled ball on FSU's 26 to swing momentum their way. But FSU's defense stymied a dive play on 4th-and-2 at the 5 to maintain their two-score lead.
On the ensuing possession, FSU fumbled and
Eagle defender Khari Johnson scooped the ball at the 8 and raced in for the score. BC's two point attempt failed when the receiver caught the ball out of bounds and with 11:18 it was 31-22 in favor
of the Seminoles.
After FSU's drive stalled, Alex Mastromanno pinned BC's offense with a perfect pooch punt that was marked out of bounds at the Eagles' five-yard line at the 7:30 mark. The Eagles
converted on a third and long to get their drive started and Castellanos found an open receiver for 42 yards to move into FSU territory. He hit another big pass before the defense stiffened again to
force a 4th-and-1 at the 7-yard line and he took it himself around the left side for a touchdown making it 31-29 with 5:19 left to play. It was BC's 19th unanswered point in the second half.
FSU
got the ball back with 2:08 left in the game and sat on it for the win.

Florida State 31, Clemson 24
09/23/2023, OT, Clemson, S.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 FSU Extends Winning Streak To 10 With A 31-24 Win At Clemson.
CLEMSON, S.C. - It had been seven straight meetings since Florida State last beat
Clemson which came in overtime in Tallahassee, and it took overtime to break that streak on Saturday with the Seminoles winning 31-24 on the road to extend their winning streak to 10 games.
After
Clemson missed a 20-yard field goal that would have given them a lead with 1:45 left in the game, FSU had an opportunity to break the 24-24 tie in regulation but eventually turned the ball over on
downs after driving to the Tigers' 39 with :18 left.
The home-standing Tigers won the coin toss and elected to go on defense first. After a 1-yard rush on the Noles' first play in overtime, Jordan
Travis lofted a perfect pass to Keon Coleman just over the goal line on the right side and he leapt over the defenders to make the 24-yard touchdown catch.
Clemson's first play on their possession
was an incompletion then Will Shipley nearly reached the first down marker with a 9-yard run up the middle. Facing third and short, the Tigers threw a completed pass to the left sideline where the
Seminole defense stuffed it for no gain. Cade Klubnick's pass on fourth down sailed over the head of a covered receiver to end the game 31-24.
FSU relied on the arm of Travis who completed
21-of-37 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns against a Tiger defense determined to stop the Seminole running game which managed just 22 yards on 20 attempts.
FSU receivers Coleman and Johnny
Wilson each had five receptions with Coleman scoring two touchdowns and gaining 86 yards while Wilson had a team-leading 94 receiving yards.
Klubnick was 25-of-38 through the air for 283 yards and
one touchdown. Shipley, who rushed for over 100 yards the last two times against FSU, was held to 67 yards on 18 attempts and the Tigers managed just 146 yards on the day.
Florida State's defense
was led by linebacker Kalen Deloach who had 12 tackles, a tackle for loss, a pass broken up and caused a fumble on a crushing quarterback sack then picked it up and raced 56 yards for a touchdown to
tie the score at 24-24.
Clemson opened the scoring in the ACC showdown with a 30-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the first quarter. The Tigers drove 79 yards on 15 plays and burned just over six
minutes off the clock. The drive included a fourth down conversion on 4th-and-1 on the FSU 49.
The Tigers took a 10-0 lead with 11:33 remaining in the half. A short punt set Clemson up at their
49 and they took seven plays to cover 51 yards with Klubnick scoring on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.
After gaining just 21 yards on its previous two drives, FSU's offense put it together driving 75
yards on 13 plays to make it 10-7 on a seven-yard pass from Travis to a wide-open Coleman. The drive was not without its challenges as the Seminoles converted a 4th-and-1 on their own 47 when Travis
kept the ball and stretched just over the line.
Clemson made it 17-7 on the ensuing drive on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Klubnick to Shipley who was split out on the right side. The 71-yard drive
took just 7 plays.
Klubnicks 33-yard pass to his tight end was the biggest play moving the ball to the Noles' 12.
FSU struck like lightning on its next possession and needed to as it took over
on its own 25 with 2:12 left in the first half. Travis completed passes of 11, 38 and 8 yards and Clemson was called for interference on another to put FSU at the 2. Travis followed the right side
of the Seminole line into the end zone to make it 17-14 at the half.
Neither team could find any running room in the first half with FSU gaining just 20 yards on the ground to Clemson's 36. Travis
completed 12-of-17 for 136 yards and a touchdown, while Klubnick was 13-of-18 for 190 yards and a TD for the Tigers. Coleman led FSU receivers over the initial stanza with four catches for 69
yards.
Ryan Fitzgerald knotted the score at 17-17 with a clutch 48-yard field goal on the Seminole's opening possession of the second half.
Clemson regained the lead 23-17 in the third quarter
on an 11-play, 77-yard drive with Shipley scoring on a 1-yard run with 3:32 left. Klubnick completed 4-of-5 passes on the drive despite near sacks on three occasions.
In what will likely go down as
one of the biggest plays of the season, DeLoach silenced a raucous Clemson crowd with a play defenders dream about. Right after a long Clemson run seemed to shift momentum even more the Tiger's way,
DeLoach drilled the Tiger quarterback on a blitz knocking the ball loose, bounced to his feet and grabbed the fumble for a 56-yard scoop-and-score to tie it up again at 24 with :31 left in the
quarter.
With 1:45 left in the game, Clemson lined up for a chip shot field goal that would have given them a 27-24 lead but they missed wide left. FSU drove to the Clemson 39-yard line, but could
not get in position for a field goal and the pass attempt on fourth down was incomplete with 18 seconds left setting up the dramatic overtime win.

Florida State 39, Virginia Tech 17
10/07/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 5 FSU Stretches Unbeaten Streak to 11 With a 39-17 Win Over Virginia Tech.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Trey Benson rushed for a career-high 200 yards and
Florida State's defense contained Virginia Tech all day to lead No. 5 Florida State to an impressive 39-17 win.
The win keeps FSU undefeated at 5-0 on the season and extends the Seminoles' winning
streak to 11 straight dating back to the last six games of the 2022 season.
In an amazing rushing performance behind tremendous blocking, Benson ripped off the longest individual run of his career
and broke the school record for average per carry in a game with at least 10 attempts with an 18.2-yard average. In addition, his 200 yards were the most for an FSU player since Dalvin Cook gained
over 200 yards against Syracuse in 2016.
FSU's offense was unstoppable earlier scoring on its first three possessions to take a 22-0 lead before the first quarter was over. The Hokies managed 10
unanswered points in the second quarter and opened the second half with a kickoff return for a touchdown before the Seminoles' defense turned up the intensity and kept them from scoring the rest of
the game.
Jordan Travis was masterful in the passing game connecting on 18 of 24 passes for 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Johnny Wilson had four catches for 54 yards and was on the receiving
end of both Travis' scoring tosses. Tight end Kyle Morlock also had four catches for 30 yards in a game that saw eight different receivers catch a pass. FSU finished with 452 yards of total
offense.
Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones was 14 of 27 for 104 yards with no touchdowns and was also the Hokies' leading rusher with 14 carries for 80 yards most of which came on a 40-yard
scamper. The Hokies would finish with 313 yards including 209 on the ground.
Defensive end Jared Verse had two quarterback sacks and two tackles-for-loss to top the Seminoles in both categories
while linebacker Kalen DeLoach led the team with nine tackles.
Florida State took the opening possession 75 yards on 13 plays and a 6-0 lead when Travis connected with Wilson on a 7-yard touchdown
pass. The Seminoles made it 8-0 by surprising Tech with a two-point conversion from the initial off-set kick attempt formation when tight end Brian Courtney was in motion, grabbed a perfectly timed
snap and scored over the right side with 9:13 on the clock.
Lawrance Toafili made it 15-0 FSU when he surfed over two Hokie defenders on the final five yards of a 28-yard touchdown run with 4:44
left in the quarter. The score capped a 66-yard, seven-play drive.
The Noles' third scoring drive was set up by a 32-yard punt return by Keon Coleman that gave FSU the ball on the Tech 45. On the
scoring play, Travis spotted a blitz by the Hokies right corner and connected with Wilson on his left from 18-yards out to make it 22-0 with 1:34 left in the first quarter.
Florida State's defense
completely dominated the Hokies in the first quarter holding the visitors to just nine yards on 11 plays with no first downs, while the Noles' offense was nearly perfectly balanced gaining 100 of
their 198 first-quarter yards through the air on 9-of-12 passing from Travis.
With 9:37 left in the half, Virginia Tech got on the board with a 29-yard field goal that made it 22-7. The score
capped an eight-play, 76-yard drive that consumed 4:02.
The Hokies had two fourth down conversions on their final drive of the first half and cut the FSU lead to 22-10 on a five-yard touchdown run
by Bhayul Tuten. Tech used over six minutes on the drive that covered 70 yards on 16 plays.
The Hokies' Tuten opened the second half with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that pulled the
visitors to within a score at 22-17. Tuten's special teams gem marked the first touchdown from a kickoff return against the Seminoles since the 2004 season.
Just two plays after the momentum
switch, Benson woke up the Seminoles' offense that had been quiet since scoring at will in the first quarter with a 62-yard rushing touchdown to put FSU up 29-17. The run was the longest of Benson's
FSU career.
Following another defensive stand, the Noles went up 32-17 with 6:23 left in the third on Ryan Fitzgerald's 26-yard field goal keeping him perfect in five attempts this season.
Benson then reset his longest-ever rush as a Seminole with 8:28 left in the game racing untouched around the right side for an 85-yard touchdown to give Florida State a 39-17 win.

Florida State 41, Syracuse 3
10/14/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 Florida State Smothers Syracuse 41-3 To Extend Winning Streak To 12 Straight.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State's defense dominated Syracuse and
the offense piled up big plays in a 41-3 win over the Orange at Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday.
No. 4 FSU limited Syracuse to 261 yards of total offense and held starting quarterback Garrett
Schrader to 9-of-21 passing for just 99 yards.
Offensively, the Seminoles churned out 535 yards with Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Travis throwing for 284 yards and a touchdown on 23-of-37
passing before coaches substituted liberally with 8:00 left.
Keon Coleman led all FSU receivers with nine catches for 140 yards and a spectacular first half touchdown. Tight end Jaheim Bell had 87
yards on four catches as the Seminoles spread the ball with 10 different receivers recording a catch.
Lawrance Toafili led the Seminoles in rushing with seven carries for 93 yards, and Trey Benson
had 14 carries for 74 yards.
Shyheim Brown led the Noles' defense with 1.5 quarterback sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss, a team-high seven tackles and a pass was broken up. Cornerback Fentrell Cyprus II
recorded a pair of passes broken up, and FSU forced the Orange into five three-and-out possessions.
After forcing a three-and-out on Syracuse's opening possession, Travis engineered a nine-play,
80-yard drive that included connecting on all five passes to take a 7-0 lead with 9:05 left in the quarter. Travis scored the touchdown on a 2-yard keeper.
The home team made it 10 unanswered when
kicker Ryan Fitzgerald drilled a 48-yard field goal with 14:55 left in the first half to make it 10-0 Seminoles.
Syracuse cut it to a one-score game with a 37-yard field goal midway through the
second quarter. The points came after one of the few real drives for the Orange offense that used 10 plays to cover 55 yards and set up the field goal.
Florida State wasted little time in
stretching their lead when Travis found Coleman on a perfect route and he outraced the Orange defenders for a 58-yard score with 7:41 left before halftime.
FSU's defense held the Orange to just 97
yards in the first half including only 26 on the ground.
The Seminoles went up 24-3 on their second possession of the second half. The biggest play on the drive was a 39-yard pass from Travis to
Bell that set the Noles up at the Syracuse 31-yard line. Five consecutive running plays put the Seminoles into the end zone when Travis scored his second rushing touchdown behind the left side of the
offensive line.
With just :22 left in the third quarter, Coleman electrified the crowd again with a 72-yard punt return to the Syracuse 9-yard line but the Seminoles had to settle for a 29-yard
Fitzgerald field goal giving them a 27-3 lead with 14:06 left in the game, and keeping him perfect on seven field goal attempts this year.
FSU stretched the lead midway through the fourth
whenToafili blew through the Orange defense on a 50-yard touchdown run that made it 34-3 FSU.
Junior Tate Rodemaker came in at quarterback for the Noles with 8:00 remaining and found receiver
Hykeem Williams open on the right side and the freshman outraced the Syracuse secondary en route to a 44-yard touchdown that put FSU up 41-3 with just inside six minutes left.
Fittingly, the Nole's
defense snuffed Syracuse's last offensive possession with an interception by Greedy Vance with :08 left.
The Seminoles are now 6-0 on the season and 4-0 in the ACC and the win extended their
winning streak to 12 straight games dating back to last season when FSU closed with six consecutive wins.

Florida State 38, Duke 20
10/21/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 Florida State Downs Duke 38-20 in Top 20 Showdown.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State's offense exploded for 21 points in the fourth quarter and
the Seminole defense held 16th-ranked Duke scoreless in the second half in a 38-20 win in Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday.
Jordan Travis was 27-of-36 passing for 268 yards and two touchdowns, and
he was FSU's leading rusher with 10 carries for 62 yards and a score.
Jaheim Bell led all FSU receivers with eight catches for 53 yards with Johnny Wilson, who left the game in the fourth quarter,
recording five receptions for 58 yards.
Blue Devil quarterback Leonard Riley was just 3-of-11 passing but controlled the ball most of the first half behind an effective Duke rushing attack. Henry
Belin IV was 1-of-6 for seven yards at quarterback throughout the fourth quarter. Jaquez Moore led the Devils with 16 carries for 100 yards.
Florida State churned out 420 yards of total offense to
Duke's 273 and would not let the Blue Devil's defense get off the field converting 7-of-13 third down opportunities.
The win keeps FSU undefeated on the season with a 7-0 record and a 5-0 mark in
the ACC. It also extends the Seminoles' unbeaten streak to 13 straight which includes a six-game streak that closed the 2022 season.
Duke led off the scoring after Florida State was forced to punt
on the opening possession. The Blue Devils took just six plays to cover 64 yards when running back Jaquez Moore slipped around the left end and raced 42 yards for a touchdown just over five minutes
into the game.
Duke went up 10-0 with 6:48 in the first on a 45-yard field goal. The Blue Devils took advantage of a short field after stuffing the Seminoles on a 4th-and-1 from their own 35-yard
line.
FSU cut the lead to three with :13 left in the first quarter when Travis hit Caziah Holmes in the right flat for a 7-yard touchdown. The play capped a 13-play, 85-yard drive.
The Blue
Devils extended their lead to 17-7 when defensive back Chandler Rivers intercepted a deflected pass and returned it 13 yards for a touchdown with 13:04 remaining in the half.
The lead would prove
short-lived as Deuce Spann caught the ensuing kickoff at the one and returned it 99 yards to make the score 17-14.
Shyeim Brown laid out for an interception on a third and long when the Noles
needed a big play, and Ryan Fitzgerald came on to kick a 32-yard field goal and tie the score with 7:31 left in the half when the drive stalled at Duke's 22.
The Blue Devils took a 20-17 lead into
the half on a 33-yard Todd Pelino field goal with :36 left.
Travis completed 17-of-23 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and had one interception in the first half. Johnny Wilson led FSU
receivers with four catches for 47 yards. Trey Benson had six carries for 18 yards as the Seminoles rushed for just 38 yards over the two quarters.
Riley Leonard started at quarterback despite
speculation during the week that he might not play and completed 3-of-11 through the air for 37 yards. Duke's offense came via the run in the first half with Moore gaining 100 yards on 10 carries and
the Blue Devils combining for 144 rushing yards.
Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Duke's offense struggled after Leonard had to leave the game with an injury just before the fourth
quarter.
Florida State took the lead for the first time with 13:03 left on a keeper by Travis around the right side for a 2-yard touchdown to make it 24-20. The play capped the best drive of the
night for the Seminoles who drove 96 yards on 14 plays and used over six minutes of clock time.
FSU made it a 10-point lead with 8:23 left on a textbook screen pass from Travis to Lawrance Toafili
who followed his blockers for a 21-yard touchdown. It was the Noles' second consecutive long scoring drive with this one covering 74 yards on seven plays.
The final score came on FSU's third
consecutive scoring drive that was set up when the Seminole defense knocked away Duke's pass on fourth down giving the offense great field position. Rodney Hill rushed through the middle of a tired
Blue Devil defense for a 9-yard touchdown that polished off a 5-play, 32-yard drive and provided the 38-20 final score.

Florida State 41, Wake Forest 16
10/28/2023, Winston-Salem, N.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 FSU Extends Winning Streak To 14 With 41-16 Win At Wake Forest.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - No. 4 Florida State extended its winning streak to 14
games and remained unbeaten in the ACC with a 41-16 at Wake Forest on Saturday.
Jordan Travis completed 22 of 35 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns before heading to the bench with eight
minutes left in the game.
Running back Trey Benson was FSU's leading rusher with 10 carries for 55 yards and had four receptions for 100 scoring touchdowns via both the pass and run.
Keon
Coleman scored two touchdowns and had seven catches for 66 yards.
Only Georgia and Washington have winning streaks longer than the Noles and the 14 straight is tied for the 6th-longest in FSU
history.
FSU's defense controlled Wake Forest all day limiting starting quarterback Mitch Griffis to 6 of 16 passing for 82 yards.
Wake did not have much success on the ground either totalling
just 128 yards on 49 attempts.
Florida State scored before the fans had time to settle in taking the opening drive 75 yards on nine plays capped by a 13-yard touchdown run by Travis to go up 7-0
with 10:38 left in the first quarter.
With three top receivers out of the game, FSU's first four plays were passes to Coleman and Travis was 5-of-6 on the opening driver for 63 yards.
An
outstanding punt and tremendous effort by Jarrian Jones to keep the ball out of the end zone put the Demon Deacons in poor field position on the 1-yard line. Wake could not convert on the first down
and set FSU up for its next score with good field position late in the first quarter.
Ryan Fitzgerald made Wake Forest pay when he drilled a 46-yard field goal with 1:11 left in the first to put
the Noles up 10-0.
A 51-yard run on the last play of the first quarter put the Deacons in position to score on the ensuing drive. Justin Ellison took the handoff on Wake's staple the slow mesh
rushing play and raced to FSU's 19. Four plays later, the Deacs scored on a jet sweep around the left side to make it 10-7 FSU with 12:06 left in the half.
Deuce Spann energized the Seminoles and
sparked FSU's next score with a 43-yard kickoff return to set the offense up in great field position. Travis immediately connected with running back Rodney Hill on a perfectly executed inside screen
pass that the freshman took 23 yards. Following a Benson run, Travis hit Coleman on the left side for a 29-yard touchdown and a 17-7 lead with 10:41 left in the second quarter.
The Noles went up
24-7 with 4:16 left in the half with another perfectly executed screen pass. Benson took the pass on the left side and used outstanding blocking to race 80 yards for the score.
Travis' second
touchdown pass to Coleman came with 1:16 left in the second quarter to put the Seminoles up 31-7 and Fitzgerald's second field goal, this from 34 yards out, gave FSU a 34-7 lead.
Florida State
amassed 351 yards in the first half and the Nole defense allowed Wake just 75 with 51 coming on one play. FSU's defense forced the Wake Forest offense into six three-and-outs and had four quarterback
sacks and eight tackles for loss.
Travis was 14-of-23 passing for 273 yards and three touchdowns, and connected with eight different receivers over the first 30 minutes.
Demon Deacons
quarterback Mitch Griffis was just 1-of-8 through the air for 19 yards.
Wake took the opening kickoff of the second half 69 yards on 11 plays and cut into the lead with a penalty-aided drive that
culminated in a 24-yard field goal to make it 34-10. The points with the first FSU's defense has given up in the month of October.
The Demon Deacons made it 34-16 at the end of three quarters with
a 2-yard touchdown run that finished a 10-play, 80-yard drive with :52 left. FSU stopped Wake's two-point conversion attempt with a quarterback sack.
Benson capped the scoring putting the Noles
ahead 40-16 on an 18-yard touchdown run up the middle behind great blocking with 11:09 left in the game.
Florida State improved to 152-29 all-time when ranked in the top 5 and are now 23-6 all-time
when ranked No. 4 in the AP poll, including 6-4 on the road and 5-0 this year.

Florida State 24, Pittsburgh 7
11/04/2023, Pittsburgh, Pa.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 Florida State Tops Pitt Earns Spot In ACC Championship Game.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - No. 4 Florida State scored two third-quarter touchdowns in less
than two minutes to break open a defensive battle in a 24-7 win at Pittsburgh and guarantee a spot in the ACC Championship game.
The win kept the Seminoles undefeated at 9-0 on the season and
extended their winning streak to 15 straight.
Jordan Travis was 22 of 36 for 360 yards and a touchdown on a day when running yards were scarce for both teams.
With leading receivers Keon Coleman
and Johnny Wilson unavailable, Ja'Khi Douglas came up big for FSU with six receptions for 115 yards. Tight end Jaheim Bell had five catches for 23 yards and fellow tight end Kyle Morlock had four
receptions for 80 yards.
Trey Benson led the Noles in rushing with 97 yards on just 12 carries.
FSU's defense did not allow Pitt a single third-down conversion in their 10 attempts and limited
Pitt quarterback Christian Veilleux to 15 of 35 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown.
Rodney Hammond led the Panthers with 60 yards on 13 carries and the Panthers managed just 89 yards on the
ground for the game.
After a scoreless first quarter, Pitt scored first with 8:38 left in the first half. The Panthers drove 64 yards on four plays with 38 coming on two passes. Veilleux found
Mumpfield open on a 29-yard pass and the two combined on the next play for a nine-yard touchdown.
With its offense lacking production early in the game, Florida State's first offensive drive in the
second quarter took on added importance and the Seminoles made it count. Travis completed 4 of 5 passes including a perfectly placed 37-yarder to Douglas to the Pitt 14 and three plays later FSU tied
it a seven on a quarterback sneak with 4:10 left in the half. The critical drive covered 75-yards on 10 plays.
FSU took a 10-7 lead into the locker room on a 32-yard Ryan Fitzgerald field goal
with :30 left in the half. The Seminoles got the ball with 2:06 on the clock and drove 61 yards on seven plays the biggest being a 63-yard catch and run by Morlock.
The Noles' defense limited the
Panthers' running game to just 47 yards on nine attempts.
Travis completed 14 of 25 passes for 231 yards with no interceptions and no touchdowns.
Benson was FSU's top first-half rusher with 40
yards on seven carries, and Douglas was the top receiver with four receptions for 67 yards. Morlock had three catches for 77 yards in the first half.
Veilleux was 9 of 22 through the air for 181
yards and a touchdown for Pitt over the first 30 minutes.
Travis put the Seminoles up 17-7 with 3:26 left in the third quarter when he connected with tight end Markeston Douglas on a 22-yard
touchdown pass on another critical drive. Travis completed passes of 18, 13, 19 and 22 yards on the scoring play to move the offense 80 yards on 11 plays.
A running play finally broke loose for
FSU on their ensuing possession when Trey Benson bolted up the middle for a 55-yard touchdown putting the Noles up 24-7 with 1:11 in the third.
Defensive back Conrad Hussey stuffed a Pitt drive on
FSU's side of the field early in the fourth quarter with an interception over the middle that would prove to be the Panthers' last scoring threat of the game.

Florida State 27, Miami 20
11/11/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 Florida State Tops Rival Miami 27-20 For 16th Straight Win.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 4 Florida State scored 17 unanswered points midway through
the second half and the Seminoles' defense shut down Miami's running game after halftime in a 27-20 win in Tallahassee on Saturday.
FSU (10-0, 8-0 ACC) had trouble shaking free of their determined
rivals who strung enough big plays together to keep Doak Campbell Stadium full until the final whistle, but Jarrion Jones' interception with Miami facing a fourth-and-long with :45 left let the
hometown crowd celebrate in style.
Florida State's defense played exceptionally well in the second half and both defenses made lots of plays in the opposing backfield. FSU had seven tackles for
loss and two quarterback sacks and Miami had nine stops in the Seminoles' backfield and three sacks.
Linebacker Kalen DeLoach led the Noles with 10 tackles and recorded two quarterback sacks and a
pair of tackles for loss.
FSU quarterback Jordan Travis faced a UM defense determined to pressure him all day and finished 19-of-31 for 265 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.
Trey
Benson was the Noles' most productive rusher with a team-high 80 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns.
Wide receiver Johnny Wilson returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games and
led the team with five catches for 82 yards. Keon Coleman also returned after missing last week's win over Pitt and had four receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown.
Miami started freshman Emory
Wiliams at quarterback and he finished 8-of-23 through the air for 175 yards and two touchdowns before being carted off the field with just over two minutes left.
Canes' wide receiver Jacolby
George had a huge game gaining 153 yards on five receptions and scoring a pair of touchdowns. Donald Chaney led them in rushing gaining 85 yards on 12 carries.
Florida State got on the scoreboard
first in a low scoring first quarter when Trey Benson carried Hurricane defenders into the end zone on a 5-yard touchdown run. The play capped a 10-play, 55-yard drive that put the Seminoles up 7-0
with 7:13 left in the first quarter.
Miami lost a scoring chance on the ensuing possession when a quarterback sack by DeLoach forced the Hurricanes to try a 51-yard field goal that missed left with
3:41 on the clock, and the 7-0 score held through the initial quarter.
FSU outgained Miami 125 to 51 over the first quarter with Travis completing 7-of-10 passes for 88 yards, while Williams was
1-of-4 for 43 yards. Benson led all rushers with 28 yards on seven carries. Mark Fletcher led the Canes with 18 yards on four rushes.
The Seminoles took a 10-0 lead just 47 seconds into the
second quarter on a 33-yard field goal by Ryan Fitzpatrick that capped an 11-play 52-yard drive that stalled at the Miami 15. It was Fitzpatrick's 12th field goal of the season with only one miss.
Miami cut into the lead again with 2:42 left in the half driving 82 yards on 11 plays and scoring when Williams found George with a 3-yard touchdown pass to make it 10-7.
A holding penalty and
quarterback sack put FSU's offense just outside its goal line on their final possession of the half and a punt from the back of the end zone set the Canes up in great field position at the Noles 31.
Six plays later, the Canes tied the score at 10 on a 57-yard field goal as time expired in the half.
Miami used a productive second quarter to out-gain FSU 180 – 126 over the first half with 96
of the Hurricane's yards coming from their running game.
Travis was 9-of-15 passing for 105 yards in the first half. Tight end Jaheim Bell led all FSU receivers with three catches for 41 yards and
Johnny Wilson had two receptions for 125 yards.
Donald Chaney gained 80 yards on seven carries for Miami, while Williams was 5-of-11 through the air for 84 yards.
FSU tried an onside kick to
open the second half which Miami recovered to set up their first drive of the second half at the Seminoles' 47. FSU's defense held the Canes out of the end zone, but they took the lead 13-10 on a
51-yard field goal with 12:11 left in the third quarter.
FSU's response was immediate scoring on their next drive. After an 8-yard pass to Keon Coleman, Travis hit Ja'Khi Douglas over the middle
for 62 yards to the Miami five where Fitzpatrick tied the score at 13-13 with 9:32 left in the third with a 22-yard field goal.
After stuffing Miami's offense for a three-and-out on their next
possession, Benson gave the Seminoles 10 straight points when he raced 38 yards behind outstanding blocking for a touchdown making the score 20-13 with 5:48 remaining which held into the fourth
quarter.
With both defenses making every yard challenging, Coleman set the Seminoles up with an electrifying 57-yard punt return to Miami's 17 with just over 12 minutes left in the game. Then, he
put FSU up 27-13 when he fought through pass interference and reeled in Travis' six-yard touchdown pass with 10:54 remaining.
Just as FSU appeared to take control of the game, Williams threw deep
down the right sideline that looked like it would be picked off by either of two FSU defenders closing in on the receiver. Instead, the ball threaded through and into George's hands and he raced 85
yards for a touchdown to make it 27-20 Florida State with 8:22 left in the game.
On what would be their final offensive possession of the game, the Hurricanes got the ball on their own 12 with 4:26
left on the clock. Facing a four and two, Williams was flushed to the left side and extended the ball just over the down marker, but was injured on the play.
Regular starter Tyler Van Dyke came in
at quarterback and managed one first down before Jones stepped in front of his fourth down pass attempt to effectively end the game.

Florida State 58, North Alabama 13
11/18/2023, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 4 FSU Scores 58 Unanswered Points To Defeat North Alabama 58-13.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- On a night that saw Florida State retire Jameis Winston's
jersey, celebrate the reunion of the 2013 National Championship team on its 10th anniversary and recognize the final home game of its senior class, the Seminoles had to overcome the loss of beloved
quarterback Jordan Travis to injury and a go-for-broke North Alabama squad in a 58-13 win in Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday night.
North Alabama raced to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter using a
combination of misdirection and trick plays before No. 4 Florida State scored 58 unanswered points and outgained the Lions 458-65 over the final three quarters to remain undefeated at 11-0 and
extended its winning streak to 17 games.
Jordan Travis was just 2-of-4 for 21 yards through the air when he was injured at the end of a 16-yard run near midfield with just under two minutes left in
the first quarter. He was carted off the field and left the stadium immediately via ambulance.
Tate Rodemaker replaced Jordan and led the Seminoles on six scoring drives in just over two quarters
completing 13-of-23 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns before coming out at the end of the third quarter. Freshman Brock Glenn played virtually the whole fourth quarter and was 2-of-3 for 35
yards through the air.
Defensive end Patrick Payton led FSU with seven solo tackles, three assists, two tackles for loss and two passes broken up.
The Lions showed early they were going to use
every play in their book when they set up their first scoring drive with a fake punt that resulted in a 64-yard run. Three plays later, Noah Walter's 13-yard scoring pass gave them a 7-0 lead with
7:15 left in the first quarter.
UNA made it 13-0 with 1:57 left in the first quarter on another Walter's scoring pass, this from six yards out. FSU blocked the extra point attempt.
It was on
FSU's ensuing possession late in the first quarter that Travis was injured. Rodemaker came in at quarterback and engineered four scoring drives over the second quarter alone.
Ryan Fitzpatrick cut
North Alabama's lead to 13-3 with a 23-yard field goal with 12:31 left in the half that capped a 10-play, 60-yard drive.
Trey Benson powered through the UNA defensive front to score on the ground
from four yards out to make it 13-10 UNCA with 8:38 left in the second quarter.
Just over three minutes later, running back Cazaiah Holmes scored from the three to give Florida State its first lead
at 17-13 with 5:04 left in the half.
FSU drove 80 yards on just four plays for their final score of the half which came on a highlight-worthy 17-yard touchdown run by Lawrance Toafili with :40
left.
Despite having the football for just 12:51 compared to North Alabama's 17:09, the Seminoles outgained the Lions 229-186 in the first half, and Rodemaker was 7-of-11 for 117 yards through the
air.
FSU's defense recorded seven tackles for loss and three quarterback sacks and held the Lions to 8-of-17 passing for 62 yards over the first 30 minutes.
Seminole defensive back Jarrian Jones
picked off a pass at UNA's own 24 and the Noles went up 38-12 on the very next play when Rodemaker fired a 24-yard rocket to Keon Coleman in the end zone with 1:12 left in the third quarter.
Reserve running back C.J. Campbell made the most of an opportunity early in the fourth quarter taking a handoff and bolting through the Lions' defense for a 70-yard touchdown putting FSU up 45-13 with
just under 13:00 left.
Rodemaker was replaced by freshman Brock Glenn with 12:59 left in the game and he scored his first collegiate touchdown after leading an eight-play, 70-yard drive and running
it in from 11 yards out making it 52-13 with 3:43 left.
Florida State special teams came through again for the Seminoles' final points when they blocked a field goal on the last play of the game
and Quindarrius Jones returned it 50 yards for a touchdown for the 58-13 final score.

Florida State 24, Florida 15
11/25/2023, Gainesville
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Football Caps Undefeated Season With 24-15 Win At Florida.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Running back Trey Benson scored three touchdowns and the Seminoles
fought through an early deficit to win at Florida 24-15 and complete a perfect 11-0 regular season.
The win sets the stage for Saturday's ACC Championship game between FSU and Louisville.
Florida built a 12-0 lead over FSU midway through the second quarter before the Seminoles outscored UF 24-3 over the remainder of the game.
FSU fought poor field possession and few offensive
opportunities over most of the first half where the Noles managed just three offensive plays the entire first quarter.
Once Florida State's defense, which would finish with six quarterback sacks
and 11 tackles for loss, settled in and the offense had a chance to put a drive together the Noles took control of the game.
Tate Rodemaker completed 12-of-25 passes for 134 yards in his first
start of the season in place of Jordan Travis. Johnny Wilson led all FSU receivers with six catches for 64 yards and Jaheim Bell had three for 38. But it was the patient and explosive running of
Benson that broke the game open. He finished with 95 yards on 19 carries and had TD runs of 1, 36 and 26 yards.
Defensive back Shyheim Brown led all FSU tacklers with eight stops and he also had a
pass broken up and a quarterback hurry, but it was Jared Verse who dominated UF's offensive front recording six tackles, 2.5 quarterback sacks and three tackles for loss.
Max Brown, who was also
starting his first game of the season in place of UF's injured quarterback Graham Mertz, completed nine of 16 passes for 86 yards and an interception. Montrell Johnson led Florida in rushing with 107
yards on 18 carries.
Florida took the opening kickoff and drove to the FSU 30 leaning heavily on its running game with Brown at quarterback, who did complete all three of his passes on their first
possession. But a 48-yard field goal attempt slid to the right and the first quarter came to an end with no score and the Seminoles having only had one offensive possession.
UF got on the
scoreboard first following a call that turned a quarterback sack into a first and goal for the Gators who scored on a Johnson five-yard run for a 7-0 lead with 14:31 left in the second quarter. The
score capped a 13-play, 70-yard drive that burned 7:04 off the game clock.
The Gators got the ball with great field position on their next possession and went up 10-0 on a 35-yard field goal with
10:21 to go in the second quarter.
Florida stretched its lead to 12-0 with a safety on a quarterback sack with 5:08 left when the rush caught up with Rodemaker in the end zone on a third and seven
from the nine-yard line.
Florida State overcame poor field position again on its final possession of the first half with a momentum-turning 10-play, 90-yard drive that cut UF's lead to 12-7 with
:26 left before halftime when Trey Benson powered in from the one.
After gaining just 10 yards over the first half, the Seminoles carved up the Gators' defense on the scoring drive with an
effective running game for the first time all game and Rodemaker completed 3-of-4 passes on the drive for 43 yards with the big play a 29-yard completion to tight end Jaheim Bell.
Florida outgained
FSU 184 yards to 84 over the first half and dominated the time of possession holding the ball for over 20 minutes to FSU's 9:18. UF converted five of their nine third-down opportunities which helped
burn clock time and kept the Seminole offense off the field.
Rodemaker was 7-of-13 through the air for 72 yards over the first half with Wilson leading Seminole receivers with four catches for 41
yards.
UF's Brown completed 7-of-10 pass attempts for 74 yards and Johnson gained 73 yards on 10 attempts over the first half.
FSU took the opening possession of the second half and drove 75
yards on six plays grabbing their first lead of the game on a 36-yard Benson touchdown run putting the Noles up 14-12 with 12:31 left in the third quarter.
Florida regained the lead 15-14 on its
next possession with a 37-yard field that capped an 11-play, 56-yard drive with 5:58 left in the third.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Keon Coleman set Florida State up for their go-ahead
scoring drive when he caught a booming punt inside the five-yard line and returned it 39 yards to the 43. Rodemaker kept the drive alive when FSU faced a fourth and three on UF's 34 finding Ja'Khi
Douglas on a slant route for a 10-yard gain. After the drive stalled at the two, Ryan Fitzgerald drilled a 19-yard field goal to give FSU a 17-15 lead with 7:17 remaining.
The Seminoles' defense
came up huge on UF's ensuing possession sacking Brown twice and nearly picking off the only pass he got off. The punt following the three-and-out gave FSU the ball at their own 34 with 5:37 left.
During the drive, Florida State faced third and 14 on UF's 34 when Rodemaker scrambled and slid near the down marker before Florida was flagged for targeting on the play.
The targeting hit sent
Rodemaker to the injury tent for two plays, but he was able to come back on third and four to hand off to Benson who took it 26-yards for what would be the final scoring in the game with 2:48 left and
FSU leading 24-15.

Florida State 16, Louisville 6
12/02/2023, Charlotte, N.C.
Note: The ACC stopped making a championship game
program after COVID. This is FSU's game program.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Florida State Wins The ACC Championship With A 16-6 Win Over Louisville.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - No. 4 Florida State's defense put together a performance
that ranks among the best in school history to lead the Seminoles to a 16-6 win over Louisville in the ACC Championship game. The win pushed FSU to 13-0 on the season and in position for a berth in
the College Football Playoffs.
FSU held the Cardinals' offense, which came in averaging 33 points per game, to just two field goals and just 188 yards by dominating the line of scrimmage and
recording seven quarterback sacks and 14 tackles for loss.
The win was Florida State's third over a Top 25 team this season and second over a Top 15 opponent. It also means the Seminoles led the
nation with eight wins over Power 5 bowl-eligible teams.
FSU knew it would need an extraordinary defensive performance and that limiting mistakes had to be a priority with third-team, true freshman
Brock Glenn starting at quarterback in place of Tate Rodemaker who was held out after suffering an injury in the win over Florida last weekend. While the Noles struggled much of the night on offense,
they did not have a turnover and were penalized just three times.
Running back Lawrance Toafili was named the championship's Most Valuable Player after providing the offense with a spark when
coaches put him at quarterback in the wildcat formation. He led all rushers with 10 carries for 118 yards, including a 73-yard scamper that set up FSU's only touchdown. Glenn got his first start
with both a conference title and playoff berth on the line and completed 8-of-21 passes for 55 yards in the win.
The Seminoles harassed Louisville quarterback Jack Plummer all night forcing him
into a 14-of-36 passing effort and forcing an interception in the end zone for the biggest play of the game.
The Cardinals' vaunted running game never found any room and managed just 77 yards on 34
attempts.
Defensive tackle Braden Fiske led the Seminoles with nine tackles, and he had three quarterback sacks, 4.5 tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries. Jared Verse had six stops,
including a pair of QB sacks, three tackles for loss and a QB hurry.
Cornerback Renardo Green blanketed Louisville's top receiver and recorded a team-high three passes broken up.
It was clear
from the start that the ACC title would be a defensive battle with the teams combining for just 37 yards of offense over the scoreless first quarter. Glenn completed 4-of-5 passes but gained just 12
yards. Louisville's 6th-year quarterback wasn't any more effective completing just 1-of-8 passes for five yards.
The Seminoles got their offense somewhat untracked early in the second quarter
using multiple formations including having Toafili taking snaps. Mounting an 11-play, 50-yard drive that began at its own 25, FSU took the lead 3-0 on a 45-yard field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald with
10:32 left in the first half.
The Seminole defense was simply spectacular over the first half holding Louisville to 69 total yards and recording six tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks.
Louisville tied the score on its first possession of the second half with a 12-play drive capped by a 36-yard field goal with 7:02 left in the third quarter.
FSU could not have had a more emphatic
answer on their next play from scrimmage. Toafili took the snap in the shotgun and waited for blocking before racing 73 yards to the Cardinals' 2-yard line. He took the next snap and dove through
the right side of the line to put FSU up 10-3 with 6:20 remaining in the third quarter.
With 13:36 left in the game, Louisville drove to Florida State's 7-yard line before losing yardage and
settling for a 33-yard field goal to cut FSU's lead to four points at 10-6.
Louisville's punt rush swallowed up Alex Mastromanno on an attempt deep in his own territory setting them up at the
Noles' 12 with just over 10 minutes remaining. FSU's defense then came up with the biggest play of the game when linebacker Tatum Bethune stepped in front of the Card's tight end to intercept a third
down pass and keep the Seminoles in the lead.
Florida State extended its lead to 13-6 with 3:13 left using good field position on the Cardinal's 49 to drive to the 15 before bringing on Fitzpatrick
who drilled his second field goal, this from 33, to put the Noles up 13-6 with 3:13 remaining.
Louisville's next-to-last possession started on their own 25 with just over 2:30 left and ended when
the Noles sacked the quarterback on a 4th-and-7 giving FSU the ball on the 22. Three runs up the middle set up Fitzgerald's third field goal and the 40-yarder put FSU out of the Cardinal's reach for
good with a 16-6 lead.

Georgia 63, Florida State 3
12/30/2023, Miami Gardens
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. FSU Finishes 13-1 After Loss In Orange Bowl.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - With a roster missing 25 players, including 14 starters, from the ACC Championship
game 28 days ago, No. 5 Florida State lost to No. 6 Georgia 63-3 in the Capital One Orange Bowl in Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday.
The Seminoles trailed 7-0 after the first quarter before Georgia
exploded for 35 points in the second quarter in the win.
Freshman Brock Glenn started at quarterback for the Seminoles and completed 9-of-26 passes for 139 yards. Ja'Khi Douglas, who checked in at
quarterback when the Seminoles went into their version of the "wildcat", led the team in rushing with eight carries for 46 yards. Caziah Holmes had 29 yards on eight carries and five other Seminoles
registered rushes.
Kentron Poitier led all FSU receivers with 84 yards on four receptions. Darion Williamson had two catches for 38 yards and Douglas had two for 13 yards.
Georgia quarterback
Carson Beck completed 13-of-18 for 203 and two touchdowns and did not play in the second half.
Kendall Milton was UGA's top rusher with 104 yards on nine rushes. Roderick Robinson II had 70 yards
on seven carries, Daijun Edwards and second-team quarterback Gunner Stockton both had seven rushes each gaining 62 and 47 yards, respectively.
Georgia scored first taking a 7-0 lead with 4:05 left
in the first quarter on a 15-yard run by Kendall Milton. The score came on UGA's second possession of the game and capped a 7-play, 69-yard drive.
The Bulldogs extended their lead to 14-0 three
seconds into the second quarter on a five-yard run by Milton. Georgia covered 82 yards on six plays on the drive.
Glenn connected on a pair of passes to Kentron Poitier to set up Florida State's
only score of the game. Starting on the 25, Glenn found Poitier for a 25-yard gain to the 42, then dropped a beautiful bomb that Poitier caught on UGA's three. FSU was forced to settle for a 22-yard
field goal to make it 14-3 with 12:34 left in the second quarter.
UGA scored on their ensuing drive to take a 21-3 lead with 11:48 before halftime on a 15-yard Daijun Edwards.
On the ensuing
kickoff, Georgia recovered an FSU fumble and made it 28-3 on their next snap when receiver Ladd McConkey looked like he was going to throw after catching a screen but pulled it down and ran 27 yards
for a touchdown.
After replay ruled a 36-yard pass from Glenn to Destyn Hill to the Bulldog's six was incomplete, Georgia made quick work of their next drive increasing their lead to 35-3 with 3:39
left in the second quarter.
UGA got another touchdown just before halftime to go to the locker room leading 42-3.
Georgia's 191 total yards in the first half was just 36 more than the Seminoles'
155, but the Bulldogs' averaged 12.7 yards per play to the Seminoles 5.5.
Glenn was 7-of-22 through the air over the first 30 minutes for 121 yards and was close on four other potential big
plays.
Poitier was the only Seminole with more than one reception in the first half and he gained 84 yards on four receptions.
Beck completed 13-of-18 passes in the first half with a pair of
touchdowns. Milton led the Bulldogs with 104 yards on nine carries. Dillon Bell was UGA's top receiver with four catches for 84 yards.
Georgia scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and added
one more in the fourth for the 63-3 final score.
