A week after Florida State was as effectively shut down on offense as possible, the Seminoles notched three big explosive plays en route to a 27-24 win over Syracuse.
James Blackman hit Noonie Murray for a 51-yard pass and Cam Akers busted off runs of 54 and 61 yards as FSU put up its second-highest point total of the season.
It was the first time since 1976, Bobby Bowden’s first season as head coach, that Florida State put up three plays of 50 yards or longer in a single game.
Our Bud Elliot went into a bit more detail on how the big plays helped in win on the latest episode of the Nolecast.
