Florida State appeared to have buried No. 17 Miami. The Hurricanes trailed 27-7 with 11:52 remaining in the third quarter after a 74-yard punt return touchdown by Florida State’s DJ Matthews.
Then it happened.
The Hurricanes forced three turnovers and scored 21 unanswered points including a game-winning 41-yard touchdown pass from N’Kosi Perry to Brevin Jordan to defeat Florida State 28-27 in front of a raucous crowd at Hard Rock Stadium.
The victory was Miami’s first win at home over Florida State since 2004, snapping a six-game losing skid. The Hurricanes have won back-to-back meetings and lead the all-time series 33-30.
