Overview
- No. 7 Florida State overwhelmed Kent State 66-10 to reach 3-0 with 775 yards of total offense.
- The Seminoles set single-game program marks with 498 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, and they tied a first-quarter scoring mark with 35 points.
- Quarterback Tommy Castellanos left late in the second quarter after defenders rolled onto his lower leg and did not return following a lightning delay.
- Freshman Kevin Sperry took over at quarterback as Castellanos, who had 205 passing yards and 54 rushing yards with two touchdowns, later jogged along the sideline.
- Castellanos said he was "all good" and felt "100%" and coach Mike Norvell called the situation "very manageable," with no formal diagnosis or timetable announced.
