Florida State tied the game 21-21 with 6:33 remaining in the fourth quarter forcing the Yellow Jackets to begin what would prove to be the last drive of the game at their own 25. Tech drove 49 yards on 12 plays and milked every second off the clock to set up the game-winning field goal.
Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei completed 19-of-27 passes for 193 yards in his first game at FSU, but the Seminole's rushing game generated just 98 yards on 31 attempts.
Roydell Williams finished as FSU's top rusher with 38 yards on 12 carries, while Lawrance Toafili had 32 yards on eight carries.
Eight different receivers caught a pass for Florida State led by Ja'Khi Douglas with four catches for 55 yards. Malik Benson had four receptions for 39 yards.
Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King was 11-of-16 through the air for 146 yards, but it was Tech's running game that allowed them to keep the ball away from FSU's offense.
The Yellow Jackets averaged 5.3 yards per carry on their 36 rushes and totaled 190 yards on the ground. Jamal Haynes was Tech's top rusher with 11 carries for 75 yards for a 6.8-yard average. King had 54 yards on 15 carries, while Chad Alexander had 41 yards on seven carries.
FSU could not have asked for a better start to the game taking the opening kickoff 75 yards in just seven plays taking the lead 6-0 on Lawrance Toafili's 28-yard touchdown run with 10:58 to go in the first quarter.
The Seminoles pulled a surprise on the ensuing extra point when center Mason Alexander snapped to his far left where Brian Courtney was waiting in an off-set formation and he pushed into the end zone for a 2-point conversion and 8-0 lead.
Georgia Tech also had success on its first possession driving 79 yards on six plays with backup quarterback Zack Pyron running up the middle for a 1-yard touchdown to make it 8-7.
The big play in Tech's drive was a short pass from Haynes King to Malik Rutherford who broke loose for a 42-yard gain.
D.J. Uiagalelei was 7-of-8 through the air in the first quarter and his lone incompletion was dropped by an open receiver.
The Seminoles extended their lead to 11-7 on senior Ryan Fitzgerald's then career-long 52-yard field goal at the 11:06 mark of the second quarter.
The Yellowjackets took a 14-11 lead with 3:13 left in the half on a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Haynes that capped a 14-play, 75-yard drive that ate 7:53 off the clock.
Georgia Tech's slim lead looked like it might hold through halftime, but Fitzgerald lined up from 59 yards out on the final play of the first half and reset his career-high long field goal to knot the score at 14 at the half.
After churning out 128 yards offensively in the first quarter, the Seminoles managed just 46 yards with few opportunities in the second quarter.
Uiagalelei completed 12 of his 14 pass attempts but the Seminoles got just 96 yards out of the passing game in the first half.
Tech gained 154 yards in the first half and averaged 6.7 yards per play.
King was just 3-of-5 through the air for 53 yards, but the Yellow Jacket's ground game gained 101 yards on 18 attempts.
After trading punts throughout the third quarter, King took a quarterback keeper 21 yards to the FSU 2 on the last play of the third quarter. Haynes scored behind the left side of the Tech line to give the Yellow Jackets a 21-14 lead on the next play.
Trailing early in the fourth quarter, Florida State mounted a 15-play drive that took over 8:00 minutes that it had to have. Uiagalelei converted a pair of pressure-packed fourth-down passes, including a 19-yarder to Malik Benson to the Tech 1, on the drive and Roydell Williams powered through the middle of the line for the score to tie it at 21-21 with 6:33 remaining in the game.
Florida State's defense could not get a stop on Tech's last possession as they drove for the winning field goal as time ran out.

Boston College Tops Florida State 28-13.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Boston College scored a pair of touchdowns in each half in a 28-13 win over Florida State in Doak Campbell Stadium on Labor Day night.
BC quarterback Thomas Castellanos showed his dual-threat ability throughout the game throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another. He finished 10-of-16 passing for 106 yards and ran for 73 yards on four carries.
FSU quarterback D.J. Uiagelelei finished the night 21-of-42 for 272 yards and a touchdown. Ja'Khi Douglas was the Seminoles' top receiver with four catches for 66 yards. Kentron Poitier had three receptions for 79 yards and had a 29-yard touchdown, his first of the season.
Linebacker Cam Riley led the Seminoles with 10 tackles and also forced a fumble. Defensive back Shyheim Brown and linebacker D.J. Lundy were both credited with eight stops, while Blake Nichelson earned a career-high seven tackles in his first collegiate start. Defensive lineman Daniel Lyons had a team-best and career-high 1.5 sacks.
Boston College's offense controlled the ball in the first quarter limiting the Seminoles to just one possession and took the first lead in the game on the first play of the second quarter on a 4-yard run by Castellanos that capped a 14-play drive that covered 71 yards and ran over nine minutes off the clock. The Eagles made it 14-0 with 9:58 left in the first half when Castellanos found running back Treshaun Ward in the left flat for a 13-yard touchdown pass.
After forcing a three-and-out by Boston College and gaining great field position when a heavy rush forced a poor punt by the Eagles, Florida State took advantage and cut into the lead with a 31-yard Ryan Fitzgerald field goal that made it 14-3 with 5:05 left in the half and moved Fitzgerald into eighth on FSU's all-time career scoring list. The Coolidge, Georgia, native now has 313 points scored, passing Gary Cismesia's 308 points from 2004-07.
Florida State's defense limited Boston College to just three snaps on a second consecutive possession, and the offense again moved into scoring position. Fitzgerald made it 14-6 with a 24-yard field goal with 25 seconds left in the half.
Boston College's Max Tucker picked off a pass on a 4th-down attempt on FSU's first drive of the second half and returned it 58 yards to the FSU 7-yard line. Two plays later, Castellanos found Robichaux coming out of the backfield for a 4-yard touchdown and a 21-6 lead with 11:58 left in the third quarter.
Florida State's offense mounted its best drive of the game late in the third quarter. Uiagalalei completed three consecutive passes including a nifty pitch-back which he completed to Kentron Poitier for 39 yards. Uiagalelei found Poitier again on the next play, and he raced in from the 29-yard line with 3:52 left to make the score 21-13 with 5:19 left in the third.
Boston College completed the scoring on the ensuing possession, taking a 28-13 with 1:03 left in the third quarter.

The only scoring in the first quarter came early when Memphis forced a fumble on the second play of the game setting the Tigers up at FSU's 25.
Backed up in their own territory, FSU's defense allowed one first down before stopping the Tigers when Joshua Farmer broke through for an 8-yard sack forcing Memphis to settle for a 35-yard Caden Costa field goal with 11:49 remaining in the first.
Over the first quarter, Uiagalelei completed 5-of-6 passes in the first quarter for seven yards. Toafili was FSU's top rusher with 31 yards on three carries.

The score capped a 65-yard drive on eight plays that was set up when the Tiger's pass rush hit Uiagalelei's arm forcing an interception deep downfield.
With 2:26 left in the half, the Noles got on the board when Ryan Fitzpatrick drilled a 54-yard field goal to cut the Tigers lead to 10-3.
On the next possession, FSU's defense forced a three-and-out that would have given the offense a chance for one more drive in the first half, but a Seminole blocker was forced into the punt returner and the muff gave the Tigers the ball at FSU's 28 with 1:59 on the clock.
FSU's defense kept Memphis out of the endzone, but Caden's 19-yard field goal as the first half expired sent the visitors to the locker room with a 13-3 lead.

Toafili's first quarter stats still led the Noles in rushing at the half with three carriers for 31 yards.

Memphis took the opening possession of the second half and drove 75 yards on 11 plays to go ahead 19-3 on a 2-yard touchdown toss from Henigan to Anthony Landphere with 8:27 left in the third.
On Florida State's first play of the second half, Uiagalelei found a streaking Malik Benson for a 67-yard gain. Roydell Williams ran it in from 4 yards out just two plays later to make the score 20-9. FSU's two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.
Nole linebacker Justin Cryer nullified a Memphis scoring opportunity on the next possession intercepting a pass in the right flat on FSU's 22.

Seminoles Down Cal.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A fourth-quarter go-ahead touchdown and several late defensive stops helped lead the Florida State football team to a 14-9 victory over Cal on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was 16-for-27 for 177 yards with one touchdown pass and surpassed 10,000 career passing yards in the win. He is one of four active players to reach the 10,000-yard mark.
Meanwhile, the defense had seven sacks, four in the fourth quarter, and 12 tackles for loss, five coming in the final 15 minutes. FSU added one interception.
As they picked up their first win of the season, the Seminoles had 284 total yards of offense, 177 through the air and 107 on the ground. The Bears, who suffered their first loss of the campaign and were playing their first-ever ACC contest, had 410 yards of offense, 303 passing and 107 rushing.
Ja'Khi Douglas had 86 receiving yards on four catches and scored FSU's fourth-quarter touchdown. Lawrance Toafili ran for 80 yards on 17 attempts and punched in the team's opening score, in the first quarter.
Defensively, Shyheim Brown led the team with 11 tackles, six solo, while Blake Nichelson had 11 total tackles. Patrick Payton posted a career-best three sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. Joshua Farmer also shared the team lead with a career-best 3.5 TFLs and Marvin Jones Jr. notched a pair of sacks in the win.
Additionally, Alex Mastromanno punted six times for 298 yards. He had a long of 56 and landed two inside the 20, including one at the two yard line in the second quarter.
The Seminoles took a 7-0 lead with 7:47 left in the first quarter on a two-yard touchdown run by Toafili. The score punctuated an eight play, 60 yard drive that began with a 15-yard rush by Douglas and included a 16-yard pass from Uiagalelei to Jalen Brown.
A Cal field goal early in the second quarter, with 10:11 left, made it 7-3. FSU got a stop on 3rd and 7 on their own 12 yard line to limit the visitors to three. California's drive started with an interception at the Cal 11 yard line, the first time this season Florida State entered the red zone but failed to score.
Edwin Joseph recorded his first career interception at the Seminole 40 yard line with less than 90 seconds left in the first half. It was just the third turnover of the season for Cal, who came into the game with a +8 turnover margin, second-best in the nation. The Bears' interception late in the first half, which set up their first field goal, extended a streak of six consecutive games with at least one takeaway, and they have forced a turnover in 39 of their last 42 contests.
Following Joseph's pick, Florida State turned it over on downs with 23 seconds remaining in the quarter, and Cal used a five play, 51 yard drive to kick a 29 yard field goal as time expired.
With a 7-6 lead after 30 minutes, Florida State held a halftime lead for the first time this season.
The second half began with a 15-play, 57-yard Cal drive that lasted 5:11. On 3rd and 10 from the FSU 13, a sack by Payton for a loss of five yards set up a 36-yard field goal attempt. The kick was no good to keep it a 7-6 game.
The Seminole defense then forced their second three-and-out of the game, and they stopped the Bears on their next possession on the FSU 33. Cal then made the 51-yard field goal to take its first lead of the game, 9-7 with 1:30 to go in the third quarter.
Florida State quickly answered to regain the lead on its next drive. A 36-yard touchdown pass from Uiagalelei to Douglas capped the 12 play, 79 yard drive that took 5:16. The drive's second play was a 27-yard pass from Uiagalelei to Douglas, which officially moved Uiagalelei past the 10,000 career yardage plateau.
The touchdown pass with 11:08 left in regulation made it 14-9, FSU.
Cal responded with a long drive of its own and had 1st and 10 from the Florida State 12. However, a false start, a Payton sack for a loss of one and another false start set up 2nd and 20, and the Bears could only get a two-yard rush before a 38 yard field goal attempt.
Looking to cut the Florida State lead to two, the kick was no good with 6:07 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Trailing by five, the Bears got the ball back again with 4:38 left on their own 36. Just under three minutes and 52 yards later, the visitors were back on the FSU 12 yard line, with 2nd and 5 and 1:20 on the clock. A false start set Cal back five yards and a sack by Marvin Jones Jr. pushed the visitors back another six to set up 3rd and 16 from the 23. An incomplete pass was followed by another sack, by Joseph and Darrell Jackson Jr., for a loss of 12 yards and a turnover on downs.
With 54 seconds left, victory formation sealed the Seminoles' 14-9 win.

Mustangs Best FSU.
DALLAS, Tex. - The Florida State football team played its first true road game of the season and suffered a 42-16 loss at SMU on Saturday night in Dallas.
On a warm and clear evening at Gerald J. Ford Stadium, the Seminoles fell to 1-4 on the season while the Mustangs improved to 4-1 as the two teams, now conference opponents, faced each other for the first time.
Saturday's matchup was SMU's inaugural game in the ACC. It is the fifth time that FSU has been the first conference opponent for a new ACC team and the second in as many weeks after the Seminoles downed Cal in its league debut on September 21. Florida State is now 3-2 in those contests against teams playing their first ACC games.
With the defeat, FSU saw its seven game road winning streak come to an end, a run that was the fifth-longest active streak in the country. The Seminoles allowed more than 29 points for the first time in the regular season since 2022, while the Mustangs won their 18th in a row when scoring at least 30 points. SMU entered the game averaging 42.3 points per game, 16th-best nationally.
It was a tightly contested game in the first half, as both teams found the back of the endzone on their opening drives of the game. A Mustang touchdown and a Seminole safety in the second quarter made it a five-point game after 30 minutes, with the home team ahead 14-9. In the second half, SMU scored on its first three possessions, and added another score off an interception, while Florida State was held to one third-quarter touchdown with two turnovers.
Seminole quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was 12-for-30 for 222 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Three players caught two passes, including Kentron Poitier, who's first catch was for FSU's first touchdown. Landen Thomas' one catch was for 20 yards and his first career touchdown.
Running back Lawrance Toafili led the team on the ground with 67 rushing yards on 15 carries. Ja'Khi Douglas paced the team with 61 receiving yards on two catches.
Florida State had 297 total yards of offense, 222 passing and 75 rushing. SMU had 467 total yards, 254 through the air and 213 on the ground.
The defense had three sacks and six tackles for loss. Azareye'h Thomas and K.J. Kirkland each had six total tackles, as Thomas had five solo. Sione Lolohea registered 1.5 tackles for loss and Marvin Jones Jr. and Grady Kelly each had a sack. Justin Cryer recovered a fumble, the first of his career.
With their three interceptions, SMU has 14 takeaways on the season. Its total of 11 entering Saturday's contest ranked No. 3 in the country.
The home team took a 7-0 lead on the opening drive of the game, as the Mustangs used an 11 play, 75 yard drive capped by a 13-yard touchdown run with 9:44 left in the first quarter.
FSU quickly answered with a touchdown on its first drive, as a nine yard pass from Uiagalelei to Poitier finished off a 75-yard drive that took seven plays in just 3:06.
The Seminole defense then forced the Mustangs to punt on their next two drives before an interception set up SMU's second score. The pick came on the SMU 32 yard line with 11:55 left in the second quarter as FSU was looking to take its first lead of the game.
Off the interception, SMU scored a touchdown to take a 14-7 lead with 10:20 left in the half. The six play, 68 yard drive was punctuated by a 42 yard touchdown catch.
Florida State punted on its next drive, and SMU then missed a field goal with just under three minutes remaining in the opening half. Off the missed field goal attempt, the Seminoles drove the ball 78 yards to the SMU two, but they could not score with 1:19 on the clock.
The defense forced a three-and-out, and SMU was set to punt from its own nine. However, the snap sailed over the punters head and through the endzone for a safety with 22 seconds left in the half. The two points set up a 14-9 score at the half.
FSU got the ball to start the second half, but an interception on the second play turned into an SMU touchdown three plays later, and it was 21-9 with 13:00 left in the third quarter.
The Mustangs found the back of the endzone on their next drive with a 15 yard touchdown pass making it 28-9 with 7:42 remaining in the penultimate quarter.
Florida State then answered with a touchdown of its own to make it 28-16, as Uiagalelei's pass to Landen Thomas was complete for a 20-yard touchdown. With 4:45 remaining in the third quarter, the touchdown capped an eight play, 75 yard drive.
SMU then went 75 yards in 11 plays on its next drive to extend the lead back to 35-16. The final score of the game was an 82-yard interception return with 12:55 left in the game to make it 42-16.

Florida State Falls to No. 15 Clemson.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State football team suffered a 29-13 loss to No. 15 Clemson on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Playing their first ranked opponent of the season, the Seminoles (1-5, 1-4 ACC) were held to 250 yards, 228 passing and 22 rushing. The Tigers (4-1, 3-0 ACC) had 500 total yards, 265 on the ground and 235 in the air.
Quarterback Brock Glenn made his first start of the season and third of his career. He's the fourth quarterback in the Playoff Era, since 2014, to have his first three career starts at quarterback all against top-15 opponents.
Glenn was 23-for-41 for 228 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. His 23 completions surpasses his 19 career completions coming into the game and more than doubles his previous single-game high of nine. Glenn's 228 passing yards tonight was one yard shy of matching his career total of 229 and was 89 yards better than his previous single-game best of 139.
The redshirt freshman quarterback connected with tight end Landen Thomas seven times for 80 yards, both team-high totals. Tight end Amaree Williams and wide receiver Ja'Khi Douglas each had a touchdown catch.
Linebacker Omar Graham Jr. led FSU with eight tackles, four solo, and defensive back Kevin Knowles II was one of five Seminoles with at least six tackles, as he had six with a team-best five solo tackles. Defensive lineman Patrick Payton had two tackles for loss and linebacker Cam Riley registered a sack.
Payton and Edwin Joseph each blocked a field goal, the third consecutive game Florida State has registered at least one field goal block. It's the first time the team has achieved the feat since a five-game stretch in 2001-2002, when the first block came in the Sugar Bowl to end the 2001 campaign before blocked field goals in four consecutive games to open the 2002 season.
Tonight was the fifth time under coach Mike Norvell that Florida State has blocked more than one kick in a game.
After three-and-outs to begin the game for each team, Clemson took a 3-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal with 6:33 left in the first quarter. The Tigers drove 66 yards before the Seminole defense held the visitors to a three-yard rush and back-to-back incompletions from inside the 15.
Clemson scored on its next two possessions to extend its lead to 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Tigers' first touchdown was a 57-yard pass on the second play of the drive with 3:20 left. Their second touchdown also was through the air for 23 yards with two seconds remaining in the opening quarter.
The Seminoles answered right back with a touchdown of their own to cut the deficit to 17-7. Glenn found Williams for a 13-yard score with 11:11 left in the half. The first touchdown pass and catch for both Glenn and Williams capped an eight-play, 75-yard drive that was highlighted by a 35 yard completion from Glenn to Thomas.
Joseph's blocked field goal ended Clemson's next drive. The attempt was for 38 yards thanks to a tackle for a loss of six yards by Payton and a sack for a loss of seven yards by Riley on first and second downs, respectively.
The Seminole defense again held the Tigers to a field goal attempt on their next drive, though this time the 38-yard attempt was good. That made it 20-7 with 1:51 left in the half.
Clemson was held to another field goal to end the half, as the kick from 25 yards made it 23-7 and ended a 12-play, 77-yard drive.
Three punts opened the second half before Payton registered the second blocked field goal of the game for the Seminoles late in the third quarter. The block on the 25-yard attempt gave FSU the ball back on its own 26-yard line with 24 seconds left in the third.
Florida State turned that blocked field goal into a touchdown with a 12-yard pass from Glenn to Douglas. The 15-play, 74-yard drive was aided by a 10-yard rush by Glenn on 4th-and-9 from the Clemson 45, along with a 17-yard pass on 3rd-and-short three plays later.
The touchdown, with 9:36 left in the game, made it 23-13 after the two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.
Clemson quickly responded, but a tackle for a loss of four on 3rd-and-4 at the FSU 10 forced the Tigers to kick a field goal. That third-down stop came three plays after a 59-yard run began the drive.
Held to a field goal, it was still a two-score game at 26-13 with 6:38 remaining.
FSU was forced to punt on its next drive from its own 20, and the Tigers then added to their lead with a 24-yard field goal with 1:56 left. That made it 29-13, which proved to be the game's final score.

FSU Edged at Duke
DURHAM, N.C. - The Florida State football team lost at Duke, 23-16, on Friday night at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.
A kickoff return for a touchdown opened the second half and kept it a one-score game for much of the game, but FSU's comeback efforts fell short on the road.
The Seminoles (1-6, 1-5 ACC) took a 3-0 lead on an early field goal and the Blue Devils (6-1, 2-1 ACC) answered with two touchdowns and a field goal to go ahead 17-3 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter.
A field goal with less than two minutes remaining in the first half made it a 17-6 game, and it was 17-13 just seconds into the third quarter on FSU's first kickoff returned for a touchdown of the season. The two teams traded field goals to make it 20-16 early in the fourth quarter before a final Duke field goal with just under nine minutes remaining secured the 23-16 final.
Florida State had 291 total yards, 162 on the ground and 129 through the air. Duke was held to 180 yards, 110 rushing and 70 passing.
Quarterback Brock Glenn was 9-for-19 for 110 yards with two interceptions. Wide receiver Ja'Khi Douglas led the team with 48 receiving yards on four catches. Running back Kam Davis ran for 63 yards on 14 carries, both team-best totals.
Linebacker Justin Cryer had seven tackles, five solo, with two tackles for loss to lead the Seminoles defensively. The team had six tackles for loss, which marks the sixth consecutive game FSU had at least five. That's the defense's longest streak of at least 5.0 tackles for loss since an eight-game string from 2021-22, which included six consecutive games to conclude the 2021 season.
Samuel Singleton Jr. scored his first career touchdown with a 95-yard kickoff return for a score to open the second half. Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald converted three of four field goal attempts, including one for 53 yards.
Additionally, AJ Cottrill blocked a Duke punt in the second quarter. It's the fourth consecutive game FSU has blocked a kick, the team's longest stretch since a five-game streak from 2001-02. That run started in the Sugar Bowl to end the 2001 campaign before blocked field goals in four consecutive games began the 2002 regular season.
Since the start of the 2020 season, FSU is tied for No. 6 nationally with 14 total blocked kicks. The Seminoles have five this season.
Florida State took a 3-0 lead on its first drive of the game, as Fitzgerald's first field goal with 10:20 left in the first quarter capped a six play, 46-yard drive.
Duke was held scoreless on its first four drives, including three three-and-outs. The Blue Devils then took a 7-3 lead on an interception and 36-yard return for a touchdown with 98 seconds left in the first quarter.
A fumble then set up Duke's next drive, which resulted in a touchdown to begin the second quarter to make it 14-3. The Blue Devils added a field goal less than two minutes later after an interception. With 10:00 remaining in the first half, it was 17-3.
Quarterback Luke Kromenhoek made his career debut and, on his second drive, led the Seminoles to a field goal that made it 17-6 with 1:49 left in the half.
Singleton Jr. started the second half with a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The first points of his career cut the FSU deficit to just four, at 17-13.
Duke then was held to a field goal on its next possession, which made it 20-13. The next two Seminole drives, along with one Blue Devil drive, were three-and-outs.
As the fourth quarter began, Florida State was in the midst of what turned into a nine play, 56-yard drive. Capped by a Fitzgerald field goal with 11:35 left in the game it was again a four-point game at 20-16. FSU's drive was fueled by 17- and 14-yard runs by Glenn and a 19-yard pass from Glenn to Douglas.
The Blue Devils answered right back with a field goal of their own to extend their advantage back to seven at 23-16.
A fumble ended the next Florida State drive, and the defense forced Duke to punt with just under three minutes remaining. The Seminoles got to midfield on their final drive of the game. However, they couldn't convert a second fourth-down attempt and turned it over on downs with 53 seconds left.

Seminoles Lose to No. 6 Miami.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - The Florida State football team fell to No. 6 Miami, 36-14, at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night in Miami Gardens, Florida.
FSU saw its three-game win streak against UM snapped, and Miami picked up its third win in the last 10 games in the in-state series. The Seminoles (1-7, 1-6 ACC) were playing their second top-15 opponent of the season and first on the road on Saturday night.
It was a one- or two-score game for the first 39 minutes before the Hurricanes (8-0, 4-0 ACC) went on a 19-0 run in the second half.
Florida State had 248 yards, 133 rushing and 115 passing, while Miami had 445 yards, 230 on the ground on 215 through the air.
Starting quarterback Brock Glenn was 5-for-18 for 54 yards with one touchdown. Making his second career appearance, quarterback Luke Kromenhoek was 6-for-14 for 61 yards passing, and he also ran for 71 yards on 11 attempts. His passing and rushing attempts and yards and passing completions all are career-best totals.
Wide receivers Ja'Khi Douglas and Malik Benson were two of eight Seminoles with at least one catch, as Douglas had a team-long reception of 29 yards and Benson paced the squad with three catches and scored his second career touchdown and first in 2024. Running back Caziah Holmes also found the endzone with a rushing touchdown. It is his seventh career score, the fifth on the ground, and his first of any kind in 2024.
Defensive backs Earl Little Jr. and Fentrell Cypress II and defensive tackle KJ Samson all had six tackles for FSU. Little Jr. led the team with four solo tackles. Defensive lineman Darrell Jackson had two of Florida State's four sacks on the night.
Miami scored a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, as a one-yard touchdown run nearly four minutes into regulation gave the Hurricanes a 7-0 lead. UM made it 14-0 less than a minute into the second quarter on an 18-yard rushing score.
The Seminoles answered on their next drive to make it 14-7 with 6:44 left in the first half. The 12 play, 78 yard drive was punctuated by Holmes' one-yard rushing touchdown. A 42-yard run by Kromenhoek on fourth-and-one at the FSU 45 kept the drive alive, and the freshman quarterback also had runs of 14 and 12 yards in the drive.
UM used the final six-plus minutes of the half to set up a 20-yard field goal attempt as time expired to take a 17-7 lead into halftime.
Florida State entered Hurricane territory on its first two drives of the second half. However, the visitors were unsuccessful on fourth down both times, and Miami answered with a pair of field goals to extend its lead to 23-7.
An incomplete pass on fourth-and-seven from UM's 45 early in the fourth quarter preceded a Hurricane drive that ended with a seven-yard touchdown pass to make it 29-7 with 4:32 remaining in the game.
After a 12-yard rushing score with 1:53 left, the Seminoles found the back of the endzone on a five-yard touchdown pass from Glenn to Benson with 18 seconds remaining. The 12 play, 75 yard drive took 1:33.

Florida State Drops ACC Finale.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State football team lost to North Carolina, 35-11, on Saturday afternoon at Doak Campbell Stadium.
In their final ACC contest of the season, the Seminoles (1-8, 1-7 ACC) suffered just their third loss to the Tar Heels (5-4, 2-3 ACC) since joining the conference in 1992.
FSU had 201 total yards, 159 passing and 42 rushing. UNC recorded 500 yards, 289 on the ground and 211 through the air.
Quarterback Brock Glenn was 6-for-11 passing for 123 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Wide receiver Ja'Khi Douglas caught his third touchdown of the season and eighth of his career in the third quarter.
Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald made a 56-yard field goal in the first quarter to improve to 10-for-10 on the season. With the kick, Fitzgerald becomes the only player in Florida State history with three field goals of at least 54 yards, all coming this season. Today's 56-yarder is tied for the second-longest in Doak Campbell Stadium history and is the longest since FSU's Dustin Hopkins also converted from 56 yards in 2012 vs. Duke.
Fitzgerald now has five 50-yard field goals in 2024, which ties the single-season school record and is the most since Hopkins also achieved the feat in 2012. Fitzgerald is now alone at No. 3 all-time with six career 50-yard field goals and he also moves into a tie for seventh on the Seminoles' career made field goal list with 55.
Defensively on Saturday, Florida State registered 5.0 tackles-for-loss for the eighth consecutive game. That's the team's longest streak since 2021-22, also a five-game stretch. Defensive back Shyheim Brown led the team with nine total tackles, five solo. Defensive lineman Darrell Jackson Jr. had a sack to help FSU reach its 5.0 TFLs on the day.
Fitzgerald got the scoring underway with his 56-yard field goal to give the Seminoles a 3-0 lead 5:27 into the game. The second longest kick of his career came on FSU's second drive after the defense forced a three-and-out.
The Tar Heels' ensuing drive began with a 49-yard kickoff return, and five plays later UNC had first-and-goal from the FSU 10. However, the Florida State defense got a fourth-down stop at the 1-yard line to keep the visitors out of the endzone.
North Carolina reached the one on its next drive and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run on third down. The score with 13:45 left in the second quarter gave UNC a 7-3 lead and capped a nine play drive.
The visitors made it 14-3 with a 2-yard rush with 1:57 left in the half. The Tar Heels converted three times on third down to help the 16-play scoring drive that lasted eight minutes.
The half ended with a missed 54-yard field goal attempt by North Carolina.
UNC extended its lead to 21-3 on a 31-yard touchdown run just over three minutes into the second half.
Florida State then forced a three-and-out to set up an 85-yard touchdown drive. Glenn got it started with a 50-yard pass completion to wide receiver Malik Benson, and he punctuated the scoring drive with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Douglas on fourth-and-three.
Lawayne McCoy ran in the two-point conversion attempt to make it a 10-point game, at 21-11, with 6:24 left in the third.
A 49-yard touchdown pass on their next drive pushed the Tar Heels' lead to 35-11 with 12:19 remaining in the game, which proved to be the final time either team scored in the contest.

FSU Falls at No. 7 Notre Dame.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The Florida State football team suffered a 52-3 loss at No. 10 Notre Dame on Saturday night in South Bend, Indiana.
In their final road game of the season, the Seminoles faced their third top-15 opponent of the year and their second top-10 foe on the road in the last three weeks. FSU and ND met for the first time since 2021, and it was Florida State's first trip to Notre Dame Stadium since 2020. The all-time series is now tied 6-6.
FSU (1-9) had 208 total yards of offense, 120 rushing and 88 passing. The Fighting Irish (8-1) had 453 total yards, 252 through the air and 201 on the ground.
Running back Lawrance Toafili led the team with 77 rushing yards on 16 carries, and he added a team-high three catches for 20 yards. Quarterbacks Brock Glenn and Luke Kromenhoek combined to go 10-for-26 for 88 yards with two interceptions.
Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald made a 23-yard field goal in the first quarter and improves to 11-for-11 on the season. It is the third time in school history a kicker has made at least 11 consecutive field goals to begin a campaign. Fitzgerald joins Roberto Aguayo, who did it twice, making his first 12 in 2013 and then 14 consecutive to begin 2014.
Fitzgerald's field goal was the 56th of his career, which moves him into sole possession of No. 7 on FSU's all-time list.
Defensively, the Seminoles had 53 total tackles, 6.0 for a loss with two sacks. They have recorded at least 5.0 tackles for loss in nine consecutive games, the team's longest stretch since a 12-game streak in 2013.
Defensive back Shyheim Brown paced the team with 5.0 total tackles and was one of five players with 3.0 solo tackles. Defensive back Kevin Knowles II was another with 3.0 solo tackles, and he recorded one of the team's two sacks.
It was a one-score game through the first quarter, with both the Seminoles and Fighting Irish scoring on their opening drives of the game.
After ND made it 7-0, FSU answered with a 16-play, 75-yard drive that took nearly eight minutes. Florida State converted twice on fourth down before Fitzgerald made it 7-3 with 5:22 left in the quarter.
Notre Dame was forced to punt on its next two drives before extending its lead to 14-3 less than 30 seconds into the second quarter. The home team punted again on its next drive and followed with a missed field goal before a touchdown late in the half, with 17 seconds left, made it 21-3.
In the second half, ND got an interception before adding to its lead. The touchdown with 9:38 left in the third quarter made it 28-3. FSU turned it over on downs at the Notre Dame 40-yard line on its next possession, and the defense proceeded to hold the Fighting Irish to a field goal that made it 31-3 in the final minute-plus of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Notre Dame scored with 10:53 left and again with just over four minutes remaining. An interception returned for a touchdown was the final score with 1:23 left in the game.
