FSU fell to Virginia 31-24 Saturday night as running back Cam Akers was stopped short inside the five-yard line as time expired. The Seminoles were arguably hosed by the referees, who allowed two to three extra seconds to roll off the game-clock after a first down had them knocking on the door. Unable to line up with enough time to spike it FSU quick-called a run to Akers, who was swallowed by a solid Cavalier defense and that was that.
Despite Akers being the cornerstone of the offense in the first two weeks, FSU relied on Blackman’s arm early.
