Miami Hurricanes Defeat Florida State 36-14

The No. 6 Miami Hurricanes improved to an unbeaten 8-0 with a decisive 36-14 victory over the struggling Florida State Seminoles (1-7) in a key ACC rivalry game. Miami's star quarterback Cam Ward threw for 208 yards and caught a touchdown pass, while Damien Martinez excelled with 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Mark Fletcher Jr. also contributed, scoring a touchdown shortly after the death of his father, dedicating the moment to him. This victory marks Miami's first dominant win in over a month, signaling a resurgence in their defensive performance which had struggled recently. The win solidifies the Hurricanes' position as the best team in Florida and boosts their confidence as they aim for an ACC championship. Miami will next face unranked Duke at home, while FSU's disappointing season continues without bowl game prospects.
