October 9, 201015 yr This is exactly how I want to start the telecast. Alllll the FSU failures relived. To heck with you too ABC!
October 10, 201015 yr Author Miami marches down the field, but the drive stalls at the 10 yard line, and Miami pushes the field goal to the left. No score, 10:34 left in the first.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Florida State goes 3 and out on their first drive and Miami will take over on their own 31. Harris was seen on the sideline getting stretched out, possibly tweaking his groin injury. But he's coming out for the next offensive set.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Miami goes three and out after looking so effortless on the first possession, and now Florida State has it on their own 35.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Florida State marches down the field, and caps a 65 yard drive with a 17 yard screen pass to Thomas for the touchdown! Florida State draws first blood, and lead 7-0 with 5:07 left in the first quarter!
October 10, 201015 yr Author Miami picks up a couple of first downs to get out of the shadow of their goalposts, but ultimately a sack for a loss of 11 dooms the drive at their 34. FSU takes over on their own 24. 2:33 left in the first.
October 10, 201015 yr Author FSU drives into Miami territory, but ultimately not far enough. FSU tries a pooch kick unsuccessfully, and Miami takes over on their own 20 with 8 seconds left in the first quarter.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Florida State's defense makes the first big play of the night, forcing a fumble that they take back to the Miami 1 yard line. There was a fumble by the returner Moody on the play that they reviewed, ruling his elbow was down on the 1 prior to fumbling out of the end zone. One play later, Thomas cashes in for the Noles, and they lead 14-0 just over 1 minute into the second quarter.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Miami goes three and out yet again, and have now had less yards on their four drives following their first possession combined than their 52 yard first drive. Florida State takes over around their own 30, 12:19 left in the first half.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Florida State's offense looking real good now, and Jermaine Thomas goes in from 6 yards out to cap a 68 yard drive, and Florida State leads now 21-0 with 9:25 left in the first half. Very unexpected dominance so far. Thomas has 6 rushes for 63 yards and 3 TDs.

October 10, 201015 yr Author It's halftime, and Florida State leads 24-7. The margin is quite surprising. Jacory Harris is struggling with a groin injury, especially any time he has to be mobile. It is definitely limiting the options Miami has.
October 10, 201015 yr Author Right out of the gate, Florida State marches down the field and Thompson puts them up 31-7 with 12:33 left in the third. Five plays 69 yards. The 'Noles are looking really good tonight.....
October 10, 201015 yr Author Miami responds with a 6 play, 69 yard drive in 1:54 to draw within 31-14. Miami needs more drives like that, and they've gotta start slowing down Florida State. Not that I hope they do.
