The FSU and University of Miami rivalry seemed to be a little less than that saturday night, yet a record 84'409 total showed up to witness the 21 point favored Seminoles dole out a bit of punishment to the Hurricanes who came into the game highly ranked as the number 7 team in the country.
FSU has been the victor of 7 of the last 10 meetings between these teams dating back to 2004.
This particular game had the Seminoles come out victorious yet again with the final score being 41-14 making it 4 in a row against their rivals.
The game started with FSU receiving the ball and driving it 72 yards on their first opening drive for a score eventually run in by RB Devonta Freeman.
The touchdown recorded FSU scoring on its initial drive in 4 consecutive weeks, thus putting the Seminoles ahead 7-0 to begin the game.
Miami's first possession looked promising with successful runs but a 4th down field goal attempt held the 'Canes scoreless missing wide left.
The 'Canes defense responded luckily, forcing FSU QB Jameis Winston to throw his first interception of the game.
This eventually led to a Miami score thrown by 'Canes QB Stephen Morris.
The first quarter ended with a game tied 7 all.
FSU rallied back on a 79 yard touchdown drive capped of by RB James Wilder sending the Seminoles up 14-7 in the second quarter.
Miami punted the ball the following drive allowing Winston to throw a 48 yard screen pass to Freeman for a touchdown that sent their team up 21-7.
Another 3 and out by Miami's offense gave FSU the ball back, but again Miami's defense forced Winston to make his second mistake of the game throwing another interception, setting up Miami for another touchdown score going into halftime still down 21-14.
FSU's defense came out the half sharper than the first, and the 'Canes offense seemed to be no match as them Seminoles held them scoreless the rest of the game.
The Offense led by Winston seemed to have picked up where they had left off in the first half, dominating Miami's defense for an additional 2 running scores from Wilder and Freeman.
The Seminoles never looked back and headed in to the 4th quarter with a 35-14.
2 field goals capped off a seemingly easy win for the Seminoles who tallied a total 517 yards to Miami's 275.
Heisman hopeful Jameis Winston finished the game with 325 yards, completing 21 of 29 passes for a score and 2 interceptions.
Miami's Stephen Morris finished the game with 192 yards passing with 2 scores and 2 interceptions.
Not very impressive for a game that was hyped due to the storied schools rivalry, highly touted QB's, and their first meeting as top ten teams in nearly a decade.
Give Miami credit as the kept it close in the first half, yet still dominated by injuries and down right totally out classed by an FSU team that maybe the best in the nation.
