No. 8 Florida State pulls away in the second half in blowout win over No. 5 LSU

Florida State looked like a team ready to live up to its lofty preseason expectations Sunday night.

The No. 8 Seminoles scored 31 consecutive points in the second half to beat No. 5 LSU, 45-24 in Orlando. It’s the second straight season Florida State has beaten the Tigers and this year’s win didn’t need a blocked extra point with no time left.

Michigan State transfer Keon Coleman caught three touchdowns for the Seminoles as Florida State torched a revamped LSU secondary. Coleman finished the game with nine catches for 122 yards as QB Jordan Travis threw for 342 yards.
