Florida State lost its ninth game of the season on Saturday, with its 52-3 loss to Notre Dame matching the program’s worst-ever margin of defeat as well as setting a new low for a preseason top ten team’s record 10 games.
FSU managed to score on its opening drive, just the fourth time this season its done so, but failed to notch any points — let alone touchdowns — over the rest of the game. The Fighting Irish, leading just 7-3 after the first quarter, scored 45 unanswered points as the Seminoles suffered another blowout loss in Notre Dame Stadium.
