Although the final score didn’t quite reflect it, the Florida State Seminoles controlled nearly the entire game vs the Miami Hurricanes. Outside of some opening drives and the 20th-36th plays from scrimmage, FSU dominated the ‘Canes in expected points per play. The ’Noles biggest efficiency advantage came from the respective differences in the two teams’ passing games. Jordan Travis was reasonably efficient throughout, while Miami’s true freshman QB Emory Williams was just 8/23, although he hit a couple explosive plays.
Florida State had a sound gameplan on defense.
