Overview
- Carson Beck threw four touchdown passes as Miami built a 28-3 lead through three quarters in Tallahassee.
- Freshman Malachi Toney (7 catches, 107 yards, 2 TDs) and CJ Daniels (5, 78, 2 TDs) supplied all four receiving scores for the Hurricanes.
- Florida State committed three turnovers — two interceptions and a lost fumble — that led to 14 Miami points and compounded five penalties for 45 yards.
- A pivotal sequence came after FSU went for it on fourth-and-8 at midfield, resulting in an interception and, on the next play, a 44-yard flea‑flicker TD to Toney.
- FSU’s 19 fourth‑quarter points fell short; Mike Norvell and QB Tommy Castellanos apologized for the performance, as Miami heads to a bye before hosting Louisville on Oct. 17.
