Florida State last won a football game wire-to-wire on December 2nd, 2023, in the ACC Championship game against Louisville.
Over a month before that, on October 28th, 2023, the Seminoles last led a game by over two touchdowns at halftime against Wake Forest.
Until Saturday.
For the first time in 13 months, FSU took the field for three hours and did not increase the public’s blood pressure, embarrass the program, or turn a pleasant Saturday into a capitulation. For the first time in the 2024 season, the Noles played a fun, high-scoring, and relatively exciting brand of football.
