Florida State Seminoles football came in as an underdog vs. Miami — but started off the game as if it were the favorite.
Using an early dominating defensive performance, the Seminoles built up a 17-0 lead against their in-state rivals but failures to convert multiple turnovers into touchdowns proved to be a fatal flaw.
Off of three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble), the Seminoles managed to score just seven total points. FSU had to punt on one drive and missed a field goal on the other, and those missing points were especially crucial late in the game as Miami started to claw its way back in the game.
