By: Jack Murray
The Miami Hurricanes took no pity on a struggling Florida State program.
Miami jumped out to a 17-7 halftime lead and added on 19 more points in the second half to claim a 36-14 victory over the Seminoles and improve to 8-0 on the season.
The Hurricanes produced 445 offensive yards while limiting Florida State to just 248. They also possessed the ball for 35:23.
Damien Martinez had an explosive day in the backfield, dashing for 148 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Mark Fletcher added 71 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries as well.
Quarterback Cam Ward went 22-of-35 for 208 yards but made the highlight reel with a receiving touchdown on a trick play.
Fans took to social media to praise Ward’s efficient day and promote his Heisman candidacy.
This was Miami’s first win over Florida State in four seasons and the team looks like a true threat to claim the ACC’s automatic bid into the College Football Playoff.
Florida State drops to 1-7 and have officially clinched a losing season.
The Hurricanes will look to improve to 9-0 in Week 10 when they host Duke.
