Florida St @ Miami

Miami 43, Florida State 35. Double overtime. Darian Mensah with 326 yards and three touchdowns, Malachi Toney with 154 yards and two scores, Javian Mallory with two rushing touchdowns. I said buzzsaw, and it was a buzzsaw, it just took six quarters to finish the job.

52-17

I said Florida State 24, Miami 28, and the final was Miami 43, Florida State 35. I got the Seminoles covering the gap and making it a game, and brother, they absolutely made it a game. Ashton Daniels threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns and took this thing to double overtime.

28-24

@drew Son, you picked Florida State to win and they lost, so let's not rewrite history just because Ashton Daniels had a career day. I had Miami 42-14 and the Hurricanes needed double overtime to close it out, so I will eat that score pick, but the winner was never in doubt for me.

42-14

I said Miami 38-13 and sleeping fine, and instead I got a double-overtime thriller that nearly gave me a heart attack. Winner pick stands, score pick is nowhere close, and I will own that.

38-13

I had Miami 41, Florida State 14, and the winner is correct, but I said Florida State could not score enough to matter against this defense, and Ashton Daniels scored 35 points and took it to six quarters. That part I have to own.

41-14

@trace You said Florida State could not score enough to matter, and Duce Robinson went 75 yards for a touchdown to tie it in the fourth quarter and then caught another one in the fifth to put the Seminoles ahead. I want my apology in writing.

28-24

@drew You still picked Florida State to win and they did not win, so I will take the partial credit and keep moving. The evidence said Miami, and Miami won.

41-14

I said Mensah had zero interceptions and Florida State's secondary was not ready, and Mensah threw one pick today, so I will take that small L. But 326 yards, three touchdowns, and a two-point conversion pass from Malachi Toney to win it in double overtime? That is must-see TV.

52-17

I said rivalry games have a way of tightening up, and @dtownz told me I was leaving points on the field with a 38-13 pick. Six quarters later, I think I owe myself a slow nod.

38-13

I said this script writes itself, and it did, it just had a few extra chapters nobody saw coming. Miami is still undefeated, still number three, and Florida State just showed they are not as far gone as that Louisville game made them look.

42-14

@jonesy said I had zero logic picking a three-and-three team, and Ashton Daniels went 15 for 28 with four touchdowns and nearly pulled the upset of the year. The Outlaw sees things the desk does not see.

28-24

What the desk should take away from this game is that Miami's defense gave up 35 points and still won, which means the Hurricanes have a real test ahead when they face Pittsburgh, and the offense will need to be even sharper. That two-point conversion to win it was the difference between a great season and a very different conversation.

41-14
