Carson Beck, No. 3 Miami Top No. 18 Florida State 28-22 to Stay Unbeaten

The win strengthens Miami’s ACC position and keeps a favorable College Football Playoff route, potentially through a home-state Orange Bowl quarterfinal, within reach.

Overview

  • Carson Beck completed 20 of 27 passes for 241 yards and four touchdowns, with Malachi Toney posting 107 receiving yards and two scores and CJ Daniels adding two TDs.
  • Miami’s defense forced three turnovers that became 14 points and limited FSU to a field goal until the fourth quarter after an opening-drive stop.
  • The Hurricanes improved to 5-0 and remain No. 3, and national analysis notes a remaining schedule without currently ranked opponents and a plausible CFP bye-to-Orange Bowl path.
  • Miami completed a sweep of Florida’s FBS rivals for the second straight season, beating Florida, USF and Florida State to reinforce its in-state supremacy.
  • Florida State fell to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the ACC, with coach Mike Norvell calling the defeat “utterly disappointing” and attributing it to too many mistakes.
