The Florida State Seminoles have done it again! On Saturday, November 2nd, they defeated the Miami Hurricanes 27-20 in a hard-fought battle. This victory marks the 16th consecutive win for the Seminoles, and keeps their College Football Playoff (CFP) hopes alive.
The game was a defensive battle, with both teams struggling to gain an advantage. The Seminoles were able to take the lead in the first quarter when quarterback Deondre Francois connected with wide receiver Nyqwan Murray for a 15-yard touchdown. The Hurricanes responded in the second quarter with a touchdown of their own, but the Seminoles were able to hold on to their lead.
The Seminoles’ defense was the key to their success, as they were able to contain Miami’s powerful offense. The Hurricanes were held to just 20 points, which is well below their season average of 33.3 points per game. The Seminoles also forced two turnovers, which proved to be critical in their victory.
The win was especially impressive considering the Seminoles were without their star running back, Cam Akers, who was injured earlier in the week. Despite his absence, the Seminoles were able to rely on their defense and make enough plays on offense to come away with the win.
The victory keeps Florida State’s CFP hopes alive, as they now sit at 8-2 on the season. With two more wins, the Seminoles could find themselves in contention for a spot in the playoffs.
It was an impressive win for the Seminoles, and one that will certainly help them in their quest for a CFP berth. With two games remaining on their schedule, the Seminoles will look to keep their win streak alive and make a run at the playoffs.
