Florida State falls again as Miami survives double-overtime scare to stay unbeaten

Miami survived a late Florida State comeback to win 43-35 in double overtime, keeping the No. 3 Hurricanes unbeaten. The result extended Florida State’s difficult season and preserved Miami’s momentum in a rivalry game that nearly became another upset.

Miami quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, including the winning 3-yard pass to Malachi Toney in the second overtime. Toney had 154 receiving yards and threw a two-point conversion, while Bryce Fitzgerald sealed the win with an interception on the final play. Florida State’s Ashton Daniels threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns; Duce Robinson’s late scores included a 75-yard catch that tied the game with under three minutes remaining. Florida State has now lost 14 straight games away from Tallahassee and is winless in 13 true road games against ranked teams since 2017.
