No. 3 Miami Holds Off No. 18 Florida State 28-22 in ACC Football Clash

Florida State football suffered a disappointing 28-22 loss to No. 3 Miami at Doak Campbell Stadium, marking their second consecutive loss and an 0-2 start in ACC play. Miami dominated much of the game, building a 28-3 lead by the third quarter with quarterback Carson Beck throwing four touchdown passes, including long completions to receivers Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels. Despite Florida State's rally in the fourth quarter, scoring 19 points and attempting multiple onside kicks, Miami's defense held firm, forcing turnovers and limiting FSU's offensive effectiveness for most of the game. Florida State's quarterback Tommy Castellanos struggled early with interceptions and was largely contained until late in the game, finishing with 230 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Hurricanes improved to 5-0 on the season, solidifying their superiority in the ACC rivalry, while Florida State's mistakes and penalties thwarted their chances to contend. Overall, Miami's strong defense and efficient passing game were key factors in their victory over a Seminoles team that fought hard but ultimately fell short.
