Miami (FL) HurricanesFlorida State Seminoles

Final: Miami 28, FSU 22

The only issue with this Miami Hurricanes team is that they don't know how to put people in the dirt. They have after scoring in the third. They have had a terrible game. They eed to find a way to play all four quarters of a game quickly.

Miami 28, FSU 3

3:53 - Miami now has two receivers with two touchdowns. This team is loaded with talent and they are talking around with a confidence that hasn't been seen in some time.

7:56 - The Hurricanes are starting to kill the Seminoles. An arm punt from Castellanos gives the Canes the ball back to push them over the edge.

Miami 21, FSU 3

9:09 - The Hurricanes continue to kill it against the Seminoles. The Canes are starting to bury them, and on an aggressive play call against the Noles, Baby Jesus, Malachi Toney goes for his second touchdown of the night. He gets better and better each week.

Third Quarter:

Halftime: Miami 14, FSU 3

Game should be 21-3 but there is still something missing with this offense.

The issue with these team is that Miami, outside of the first game against Notre Dame, struggle with the middle eight. They had a chance to bury the Seminoles and snuff them out but they are still fighting and giving them a chance.

7:37 - Bain has been uncharacteristically undisciplined tonight with two early penalties, but one on his part for unnecessary roughness has turned into a positive, forcing the Seminoles to punt again.

Miami 14, FSU 3

11:25 - In a heartbeat, Miami's freshmen are bullying the Seminoles. Byrce Fitzgerld is up to his third interception of the season, following a trick play for Miami with another Carson Beck bomb to Malachi Toney for a touchdown.

Second Quarter

Miami 7, FSU 3

0:50 - Miami comes out and shows why they have one of the better offenses in the country. A well-balanced attack with the run game with Mark Fletcher Jr. and the work of CJ Daniels pushes Miami

5:41 - The Hurricanes' defense has adjusted, and they force a punt. FSU's offense is trying a lot of trick plays, but the Canes are ready for it.

Injury: Moten is down, which is a massive blow for the Seminoles team that is running the ball down Miami's throat.

7:32 - The Hurricanes offense had a chance with Malachi and Carson Beck on a massive play but he was a tough catch. The offensive line is not moving much right now. It could be the lags of the bye week but they have to get the run game going.

FSU 3, Miami 0

10:02 - The Hurricanes got beat up front for a bit in the opening drive of the game. FSU is moving at warp speed, and it is getting the Canes off guard. Miami gets a key redzone stop, only giving up three points in the opening drive of the game. Adjustments will come.

First Quarter

Pregame:

No. 3 Miami (4-0) has worked during the bye week, and now they prepare for the first road game of the season, traveling to Tallahassee to take on No. 18 Florida State to kick-start conference play.

All roads ahead look great for the Canes, but this will be another great challenge for the team that has national championship aspirations. There is so much that this team has to offer, with Rueben Bain Jr at the top of that list.

He is one of the quickest risers for the Heisman Trophy hunt, and against the Seminoles, he is due for a monster game.

The Hurricanes are back for another week of football, with all eyes still on them as they prepare for their rival.
