TALLAHASSEE — The Miami Hurricanes-Florida State Seminoles football rivalry has been defined by close outcomes that have often been determined in the game’s final moments — and Saturday’s matchup at Doak S. Campbell Stadium was no different.
After trailing by 17 early in the first quarter and facing a 13-point deficit at halftime, Miami scored three second-half touchdowns to take a 28-20 lead early in the fourth quarter and seemingly were in control of the game after keeping the Seminoles’ defense in check for most of the second half.
The Seminoles made a 29-yard field goal with 4:43 left in the fourth quarter to reduce the Hurricanes’ lead to 28-23, and after forcing a Miami punt and getting the ball back with 2:19 left in the game, Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis led an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Travis scoring a 1-yard touchdown.
