In his third career start against Miami, James Blackman finally tossed his first interceptions.
The interceptions were fairly easy passes for the defense to pick off, the first being an under thrown ball to Tate and the second a forced throw into double coverage. To be fair, Jimbo Fisher clarified that Tate made an unusually poor route adjustment on the first, so we can classify it as a miscommunication.
But to his credit, Blackman was able to overcome the pair of turnovers to lead the Seminoles on crucial scoring drives in the second half. His touchdown passes to Ryan Izzo and Auden Tate put Florida State in a position to win the game.
