FSU 20, Miami 7
Ricky Aguayo flushed a career-long 53-yard field goal for the Noles right at the buzzer, after Miami failed on a fourth-and-3 just inside midfield. The teams chirped at each other a little bit on their way to the locker room. They use the same tunnel to exit the field.

Deondre Francois’ second touchdown pass of the game is a 17-yarder to Tamorrion Terry, who found some space down the seam. It’s Terry’s fifth TD catch of the year. The redshirt freshman’s been a real bright spot. Miami’s offense needs to get going shortly.
Toujours aussi courageux, QB Deondre François est revenu sur le terrain et offre un TD de 17 yards à WR Tamorrion Terry.

The season hasn’t gone as expected for either team, with the Hurricanes thrashing four unranked opponents, but losing to then-No. 25 LSU in Week 1. It’s been a lot worse for Florida State, who is 3-2, with losses against Syracuse and then-No. 20 Virginia Tech in their opener.
The Seminoles have a very tough schedule going forward, and the loss to Syracuse really hurt them overall. They have Miami, Clemson, NC State, Notre Dame and Florida still on the schedule. Miami has a relatively easy schedule remaining, with Virginia Tech being their lone ranked upcoming opponent.
