TALLAHASSEE — The Miami Hurricanes entered their matchup against rival Florida State on a three-game winning streak and appeared to have fixed many of their issues from the beginning of the season.
But on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium, many of those struggles popped back up for Miami, ultimately leading to its 31-28 loss to the Seminoles in Tallahassee.
UM started slow on both sides of the field due to undisciplined penalties on defense and a lack of precision on offense, trailing FSU, 17-0, at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Hurricanes rallied in the second half to take a 28-20 lead with 11:04 left in the game, only for the Seminoles to score 11 points in the final five minutes — including the game-deciding Jordan Travis 1-yard touchdown run with 26 seconds left and Travis’ two-point conversion on the ensuing play — to give FSU the three-point lead it ultimately won the game with.
