The Florida State Seminoles defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies over the weekend. Though the Seminoles won by 20 points, it probably didn't feel like it.

FSU allowed a season-high 238 rushing yards, only the third time this season Virginia Tech has surpassed 200+ yards on the ground. The Hokies also posted 6.2 yards per play to the Seminoles' 6.1 yards per play.

Really, it was two forced turnovers by Florida State and back-breaking penalties, along with questionable game management, that did Virginia Tech in.
