Florida State University (FSU) suffered a historic loss to Duke University, marking the first time Duke defeated FSU in 23 meetings. The 23-16 defeat further exacerbates FSU's disastrous season, dropping them to a 1-6 record. Duke capitalized on FSU's four turnovers, scoring 17 points off these errors, with key plays including a pick-six by Chandler Rivers. Despite outgaining Duke 291 to 180 yards, FSU's offensive struggles, including multiple turnovers by quarterback Brock Glenn, proved insurmountable. FSU, which started the season with high expectations as a preseason top-10 team, faces the risk of missing bowl eligibility. Duke's victory improves their record to 6-1 under first-year coach Manny Diaz, making them bowl eligible and a contender in the ACC.
