Ole Miss falls to FSU after 22-point lead in the first half

Just over five minutes into the second half of Monday night’s game between Florida State and Ole Miss, Kermit Whitfield caught a three-yard swing pass and ran it into the left side of the end zone for a Florida State touchdown. It tied the football game and after a Ricky Aguayo extra point, the Seminoles had its first lead of the night at 29-28, and it wouldn’t look back on its way to a 45-34 Labor Day shootout.

“We didn’t deserve to win the game with the way we played in the second half,” Head Coach Hugh Freeze said.
