In a remarkable display of offensive prowess, the Florida State Seminoles delivered a resounding victory over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles with a final score of 66-13. This triumph marks a significant milestone for Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell, as it is his record-breaking win with the team.
The game took place at the Seminoles’ home stadium in Tallahassee, Florida, and the hosts did not disappoint their loyal fans. Trey Benson, the star running back for Florida State, stole the show with three impressive touchdown runs, showcasing his incredible speed and agility. Overall, the Seminoles’ offense displayed remarkable dominance throughout the game.
Quarterbacks Jordan Travis and Tate Rodemaker also played pivotal roles in securing this historic win. Travis demonstrated his passing prowess by throwing for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Notably, his first touchdown pass of the game, a 10-yard completion to Darion Williamson, marked Travis’s 50th career touchdown pass—a remarkable achievement.
The Seminoles’ offensive brilliance was evident in their ability to consistently find the end zone. Scoring 35 or more points in eight consecutive games, Florida State currently boasts the longest active streak in the nation. Impressively, they achieved this feat in the third quarter of the game, even before Southern Miss managed to score a single touchdown.
Critical to the Seminoles’ success was their impressive rushing game. The Florida State running backs had a field day, collectively accumulating 306 yards on the ground. Caziah Holmes made a significant contribution with a spectacular 40-yard touchdown run, solidifying the Seminoles’ dominance. Notably, the team accomplished these extraordinary feats even in the absence of starting offensive linemen Maurice Smith and Robert Scott.
On the other side, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles struggled to find their rhythm, unable to match the Seminoles’ offensive firepower. Despite their efforts, they were held to a mere 13 points. Quarterback Billy Wiles, in his second college start, had a challenging outing, completing just 11 of 34 passes for 154 yards.
The success of this game not only highlights the exceptional talent and depth of the Florida State Seminoles but also underscores the coaching prowess of Mike Norvell.
