Ashton Daniels absolutely went off on October 3, dropping a record-breaking five touchdowns as Florida State rolled past Virginia 38-7 at Doak Campbell Stadium. This wasn’t just any win, it was FSU’s first ACC victory of the season, and it felt like the Seminoles finally clicked into gear, showing signs of becoming the team coach Mike Norvell envisioned.
Daniels Dropped Five TDs, Earned an A- Grade
Man, Daniels was electric. He threw for a new record, tallying five scores himself in that 38-7 beatdown. After what sounds like a bit of a sluggish start for the Seminoles, they really dominated those final three quarters. Daniels flipped the switch for sure. He earned an A- grade for that performance, and you can see why. That kind of outing is exactly what Coach Mike Norvell must have been hoping for, turning the whole game around.
10 Sacks and Total Dominance
But it wasn’t just Daniels doing all the work, not by a long shot. The FSU defense was an absolute beast, sacking Virginia’s quarterback a suffocating 10 times. Ten! That’s just relentless. They completely shut down Virginia, only giving up 7 points total. That kind of defensive effort, combined with Daniels’ record day, is what made this feel like the “complete performance” FSU had been searching for all season.
This win pushes the Seminoles to 3-2 on the season, finally getting that ACC monkey off their back. If they can keep bringing that suffocating defense and Daniels keeps slinging it like that, FSU might just be turning the corner into the team everyone thought they could be.
