| 3-7 | at Fs28 | Start of 4th quarter, clock 15:00. | ||
| 3-7 | at Fs28 | 11 Gun | WINSTON, J. deep pass incomplete to GREENE, R., clock 14:56. | Chickillo lined up at DT ove Tre Jackson beats Tre to the outside and Bobby Hart misses the help. The pressure forces Jameis to throw it away. Smart play by the youngster, no turnovers when you're up big. |
| 4-7 | at Fs28 | BEATTY, C. punt 38 yards to the UM34, Stacy Coley return 8 yards to the UM42 (DOUMAR, P.). | wounded duck. Nice tackle by Doumar. | |
| Drive: 3 plays, 3 yards, TOP 01:36 | ||||
| 1-10 | at Um42 | MIAMI drive start at 14:46. | ||
| 1-10 | at Um42 | 4-2-5 | D. Crawford rush over right end for 2 yards to the UM44 (SMITH, TERR.), clock 14:21. | Miami runs IZ for 11 gun personnel. MEJr absolutely whips the OT with a wicked inside swim move and hits Crawford 4 yards in the backfield. Only porblem is that he comes in a little out of control and misses the tackle. He demontrates awesome hustle by getting back up and tackling Crawford from behind with the assistance of Terrance. Awesome defense |
| 2-8 | at Um44 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris screen pass complete to Allen Hurns for 1 yard to the UM45, clock 13:4-3. | Eddie Goldman gets massive pressure up the middle, nearly pushing the OG into Morris. Morris throws well behind Hurns on the drag who somehow makes the catch while falling down. Terrance Smith was there to make the tackle had Hurns stayed on his feet. |
| 3-7 | at Um45 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris post pass intercepted by ANDREWS, N. at the FS31, ANDREWS, N. return 0 yards to the FS31. | Nate Andrews is playing Star and takes the TE down the middle of the field. He displays perfect trail technique and plays the Morris pass perfectly for the interception. That kid isn't a freshman. |
| Drive: 3 plays, 3 yards, TOP 01:35 | ||||
| 1-10 | at Fs31 | FLORIDA STATE drive start at 13:11. | ||
| 1-10 | at Fs31 | 21 Gun Pony | WILDER, J. rush over left end for 6 yards to the FS37 (Deon Bush), clock 12:51. | OZ to Wilder from the Gun. The entire offensive line blocks this to perfection. Cam gets inside on the end and kicks him out, Matias seals the NG and Tre takes the DT out of the play. Wilder shows excellent patience to identify the whole and cut it up for a nice gain on 1st down. |
| 2-4 | at Fs37 | 21 I | WINSTON, J. sacked for loss of 4 yards to the FS33 (AJ Highsmith), clock 12:09. | Play action and UM comes on a backside delayed safety blitz. Abrams doesnt see it and Winston doesnt have a chance. Wisely takes the sack |
| 3-8 | at Fs33 | 11 Gun | WINSTON, J. middle pass complete to GREENE, R. for 13 yards to the FS46, 1ST DOWN FS, clock 11:38. | FSU in bunch set here. Comes on an A gap blitz and its picked up beautifully by Stork. Jameis finds Rashaad curled up in the zone for an easy 13 yard completion. |
| 1-10 | at Fs46 | 11 Gun | WINSTON, J. WS pass complete to SHAW, K. for loss of 3 yards to the FS4-3 (Ladarius Gunter), clock 10:50. | ZR/Bubble Package Play. Winston reads it well but KB whiffs on his block and Shaw gets lit up. Not good from an otherwise awesome night from KB. |
| 2-13 | at Fs4-3 | 11 Gun | WINSTON, J. middle pass complete to O'LEARY, N. for 18 yards to the UM39, 1ST DOWN FS, out-of-bounds (Deon Bush), clock 10:29. | looks like this play was designed for O'Leary from the start. KB, Shaw and Greene run clear out routes. O'Leary runs a drag accross the middle. Because UM is playing so soft and their LB's are bailing, this is about as easy as it gets. Just for good measure, O'Leary drops a shoulder into Gunter who wants no part of it. Brewster has certainly got O'Leary playing crazy physical right now. |
| 1-10 | at Um39 | 11 | FREEMAN, D. rush right for 5 yards to the UM34, out-of-bounds (Jimmy Gaines), clock 09:52. | OZ. UM is crashing inside, this is an easy block for Bobby Hart as he seals Chickillo alowing DFree to bounce it outside for the nice gain. UM is just about ready to get back on the bus. |
| 2-5 | at Um34 | 11 | FREEMAN, D. rush left for 2 yards to the UM32 (T. Cornileus), clock 09:13. | IZ and Freeman misses the hole by bouncing it outside righ into the hands of a Miami defender, |
| 3-3 | at Um32 | 11 Gun | WINSTON, J. screen pass complete to GREENE, R. for 21 yards to the UM11, 1ST DOWN FS (Deon Bush), clock 08:42. | Green comes accross the formation in motion. This is another designed play, this time to Rashaad. Shaw and KB dont even run routes they immediately start block. 80 drags back accross the formation behind the OL and makes a one handed catch. KB is out in front and blocking, 80 gets tripped up or he would have scored. |
| 1-10 | at Um11 | 21 I | FREEMAN, D. rush over right end for 1 yard to the UM10, clock 08:00. | Power. UM is crashing down and Freeman gets tripped up in the backfield by Matias who allows penetration from the DT. |
| 2-9 | at Um10 | 21 Gun | WINSTON, J. crossing pass incomplete to GREENE, R. (A. Crawford), clock 07:34. | KB and RG both run deep in routes. Miami is dropping deep into coverage. Jameis tries to squeeze it into RG but its broken up by the safety. Probably could have hit O'Leary on the shallow curl. |
| 3-9 | at Um10 | 11 Gun | WILDER, J. rush over left tackle for 2 yards to the UM8 (Jimmy Gaines;D. Perryman), clock 07:10. | IZ is played well by UM. JWJr gets what he can before Perryman crashes down to make the tackle. |
| 4-7 | at Um08 | AGUAYO, R. field goal attempt from 25 GOOD, clock 06:52. | This guy is ridiculous | |

| 2-4 | at Um22 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris sideline pass complete to Stacy Coley for 23 yards to the UM45, 1ST DOWN UM, out-of-bounds (RAMSEY, J.), clock 06:06. | Miami has great pass protection. FSU is in cover 2. Morris throws a very good pass to Coley in between 26 corner and 13. Ramsey absolutely levels Coley. Ramsey is an animal. |
| 1-10 | at Um45 | 4-2-5 | E. Clements rush right for 1 yard to the UM46 (HICKS, D.), clock 05:40. | Miami runs IZ from the Gun. MEJr, Goldman and 55 destroy UM's OL. Great defense |
| 2-9 | at Um46 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris screen pass complete to D. Crawford for loss of 2 yards to the UM44 (HICKS, D.;MCDANIEL, J.), clock 05:08. | UM runs a screen out of Gun. Telvin, Hicks and 55 identify it immediately. Hicks makes the tackle. Do not run screens on FSU, they dont work. |
| 3-11 | at Um44 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris sideline pass incomplete to Beau Sandland, clock 04:47. | Hicks and Goldman run a stunt. Big boy Goldman comes free on the outside and is bearing down on Morris faster than a man his size should.FSU secondary has the UM WR's locked down and Morris has to thrown it away. |
| 4-11 | at Um44 | Timeout Florida State, clock 04:47. | ||
| 4-11 | at Um44 | 4-2-5 | Stephen Morris sideline pass incomplete to Clive Walford, dropped pass, clock 04:42. | Jones and 55 beat their men and apply awesome pressure, Morris gets it out to the TE who promptly drops it before getting blown up by Andrews. Phenomenal defense. |

| 1-10 | at Um44 | 22 I | WILLIAMS, K. rush over right tackle for 6 yards to the UM38 (D. Perryman), clock 04:23. | Power. UM's DL has bisaclly quit, Los is so explosive, he hits the hole and gains 6 poweful yards. |
| 2-4 | at Um38 | 22 I | WILLIAMS, K. rush up middle for 21 yards to the UM17, 1ST DOWN FS, out-of-bounds (Tracy Howard), clock 03:48. | This play is all Karlos and just ridiculous. FSU runs Power, Karlos JUMP CUTS AT 6'2 223 POUNDS and explodes to the outside for the big gain. Just completely unfair, Best backfiled in the nation. |
| 1-10 | at Um17 | 22 I | WILLIAMS, K. rush over left end for 2 yards to the UM15 (R. Jenkins;L. Robinson), clock 03:02. | Power again. Miami selling out against the run. Los does a nice job to get positive yards. |
