With\u00a010<sup>th<\/sup> ranked\u00a0<strong>Miami (5-1, 1-1)<\/strong> down by just a point with a little over a minute left to play, <strong>Michael Badgley<\/strong> saw his potential game-tying extra point blocked by\u00a0<strong>Florida State&#8217;s (4-2, 1-2)<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>DeMarcus Walker<\/strong>. The 23<sup>rd<\/sup> ranked <strong>Seminoles<\/strong> then added a couple first downs to seal the 20-19 win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dalvin Cook<\/strong> was once again Florida State&#8217;s workhorse, running for 150 yards on 27 carries. He also added a 59-yard touchdown reception.\u00a0<strong>Deondre Francois<\/strong> battled constant pressure and an shoulder injury to throw for 234 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Hurricanes<\/strong> were led offensively by\u00a0<strong>Brad Kaaya\u00a0<\/strong>who completed 19 of 32 passes 214 yards and two touchdowns. However, there wasn&#8217;t much more production elsewhere as Florida State&#8217;s defense limited Miami to just 62 yards.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Recap<\/h2>\n<p>Both defenses shined early as neither team was able to put up points on their first two drives. Miami suffered back-to-back three and outs, while Florida State saw its first drive stall on a fourth down attempt in Miami territory and punted on its next drive. The Hurricanes scored first after orchestrating an eight play, 39-yard drive resulting in a 37-yard field goal by Badgley.<\/p>\n<p>As the second quarter began with Miami leading 3-0, Florida State was forced to insert senior quarterback,\u00a0<strong>Sean Maguire<\/strong> after Francois injured his throwing shoulder. That drive would end with a punt. When the Seminoles got the ball back on their next drive, Dalvin Cook broke a 54-yard run deep in to Hurricane territory. However, two plays later, Maguire was picked off by Miami&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Jaquan Johnson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Hurricanes then scored the game&#8217;s first touchdown on a 10-play, 76-yard drive capped off by a 21-yard touchdown pass from Kaaya to\u00a0<strong>Stacy Coley<\/strong> in the corner of the end zone. Francois returned on the Seminole&#8217;s ensuing drive which would also end in a punt. Miami then extended its lead to 13 on a 51-yard field goal by Badgley.<\/p>\n<p>Florida State finally got on the scoreboard with a 31-yard field goal by\u00a0<strong>Ricky Aguayo<\/strong> to trim the Hurricane lead to 10 going into halftime.<\/p>\n<p>After Florida State went three and out on its opening drive of the second half, Miami looked to put the game away. The Hurricanes drove the ball to Florida State&#8217;s 18 yard line on a drive that would see\u00a0the Seminoles&#8217;<strong> Matthew Thomas<\/strong> ejected for targeting. However,\u00a0<strong>Tarvarus McFadden<\/strong> hauled in his fourth interception on the year in the endzone to end the Hurricanes&#8217; threat.<\/p>\n<p>Florida State responded with its first touchdown of the game. Francois found Cook on a wheel route for a 59-yard score. The Seminoles took their first lead of the game on their next drive.\u00a0<strong>Kermit Whitfield\u00a0<\/strong>took a bubble screen from Francois 20 yards for a touchdown. The Seminoles then padded their lead with a 32-yard field goal from Aguayo.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the fourth quarter, Kaaya led Miami down to Florida State&#8217;s 11 yard line. On fourth and five, Kaaya once again found Coley in the corner of the endzone to bring Miami within an extra point of tying the game.<\/p>\n<p>However, DeMarcus Walker blocked Badgely&#8217;s kick. Florida State then gained back-to-back first downs to seal the game. The victory gave the Seminoles their first conference win of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/613483970\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 71.043771% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/613483970?et=x4i-dG1PSE5u0lxNGIMBqA&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=bpUSzHxFR1nrNjJ9Rq7AXOM-47aeXFZQb6k_DgR3FVE=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida State Extends Winning Streak Over Miami to Seven Games A rivalry made famous by missed field goals to win and tie games late added yet another heartbreaking miss to its collection.
