Florida State had every shot to break that awful road losing streak and snag a season-defining upset Saturday night, but man, did it slip away. It was pure heartbreak in double overtime, as the Seminoles ultimately fell 43-35 to rival Miami. They had multiple chances to grab control of that game, and just couldn’t seal the deal.
Daniels Showed Up Big, Team Fell Short
Quarterback Ashton Daniels put in one of his most efficient performances all season, and you gotta feel for the guy. He completed 15 of 26 passes for a massive 298 yards and tossed four touchdowns. Daniels showed real poise out there, especially in the second half, dropping in crucial deep throws that kept FSU right in the fight against one of the ACC’s top teams. He battled through constant pressure, too. That’s a gutsy performance.
More Pressure on Norvell as Season Questions Pile Up
Despite Daniels’ heroics, this loss stings hard. FSU drops to a tough 3-4 overall record and just 1-3 in ACC play. Every setback like this just piles more pressure on coach Mike Norvell. Questions about his future are definitely getting louder with each loss, and letting a potential upset in a rivalry game like this slip away in double-OT certainly won’t help.
The Seminoles had this one in their grasp, and now they are left to pick up the pieces with a 3-4 record hanging over their heads. You know that locker room is feeling it right now.
