For the first time in program history, Florida State lost to Duke — the result of a four-turnover game that saw the Seminoles scrapping back from the first quarter on.
The Seminoles are now 22-1 all-time against the Blue Devils after a 23-16 defeat on Friday night. It was a disaster of a night that overshadowed a decent performance from the defense, with FSU changing the quarterback twice and committing multiple special teams gaffes even on a night that they had their first kick-off return touchdown of the year. The offensive line struggled all night with the blitzing nature of Duke’s defense, and the wide receivers had a case of the yips with the number of drops they had.
