Every week we break down the result of the previous Florida State game. Who really played well for the Seminoles against Miami? Which players played poorly? Where did the coaches do well, and when did they screw up?
Read to find out. Note: there are certain schematic and tendency things we do not discuss in these reviews out of respect for our sources, the school and coaching staff.

| 1-10 | at Um34 | Start of 4th quarter, clock 15:00. | ||
| 1-10 | at Um34 | 22 tight | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over right guard for 11 yards to the UM23, 1ST DOWN FS (3-Tracy Howard), clock 14:51. | IZ with cutback. Dalvin shows patience and lets the defense flow and teh OL wash out the overpursuing Miami defense and then cuts back against the flow for a 10 yard gain. Kerr absolutely destroys Muhammed. |
| 1-10 | at Um23 | 22 tight | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over left guard for 1 yard to the UM22 (5-Jermaine Grace), clock 14:16. | Same play. looks like its open again but Grace does a nice job to fight through traffic and make a solo tackle. |
| 2-9 | at Um22 | 11gun | 6-Everett Golson deep pass incomplete to 15-Travis Rudolph, PENALTY UM pass interference (3-Tracy Howard) 15 yards to the UM7, 1ST DOWN FS, NO PLAY, clock 13:46. | Go route all the way to Rudolph with UM playing what looks like cover 0. Golson has got to let it rip on these vertical routes. The underthrow works this time as Howard never turns around and looks for the ball. |
| 1-G | at Um07 | 11 gun | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over right guard for 4 yards to the UM3 (5-Jermaine Grace), clock 13:24. | power. Nice push form the OL and Dalvin gets down hill in a hurry for a nice gain. |
| 2-G | at Um03 | 11 gun | 6-Everett Golson sacked for loss of 11 yards to the UM14 (8A-A. Muhammad), clock 12:44. | Miami brings 3 on a blitz. UM showed blitz well before the snap so Golson needs to prepare to unload. He has Dalvin in the flats but doesn't anticipate. UM sends more guys than FSU can block and Ev doesn't have a chance, |
| 3-G | at Um14 | 11 gun | 6-Everett Golson sideline pass complete to 3-Jesus Wilson for 6 yards to the UM8, out-of-bounds, clock 12:14. | Hoefeld gets destroyed and Ev is forced to get rid of it early to Wilson on the out route. |

| 1-10 | at Um17 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya WS pass complete to 1A-Rashawn Scott for 7 yards to the UM24 (5-Reggie Northrup), clock 11:38. | Ramsey coming on the CB blitz. Scott and Kaaya do a nice job to read hot but Ramsey gets skies and bats the ball. UM had such goo turnover lick in this game. Brutus doesnt have his head up and misses the pick six. Scott somehow catches and gains 7. SMH |
| 2-3 | at Um24 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya sideline pass complete to 6-Herb Waters for 23 yards to the UM47, 1ST DOWN UM (3J-Derwin James), clock 11:07. | Jimbo says FSU was not aligned properly. Tough to see because the beggining of the play is cut out. UM goes quick game. Brutus whiffs badly on the tackle, dips his head and it's over. Awesome open field tackle by Derwin to save it from being a huge play. |
| 1-10 | at Um47 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya sideline pass complete to 86-David Njoku for 20 yards to the FS33, 1ST DOWN UM (3J-Derwin James), clock 10:47. | This is awful tackling. Quick out to the TE. White closes quickly but dips his head and completely whiffs. not even sure what Hunter tries to do and then Derwin comes in way too high and gets bulled over for another 5. |
| 1-10 | at Fs33 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya deep pass incomplete to 3A-Stacy Coley, clock 10:41. | FSU showing their standup look. Both Hoskins and Northrup come on the blitz. Kaaya panicks and throws it away. Not sure what's happenign in the secondary because ESPN sucks and camera angles. |
| 2-10 | at Fs33 | 4-2-5 | 2A-Joe Yearby rush right for 4 yards to the FS29, out-of-bounds (8-Jalen Ramsey), clock 10:29. | Nile gets fooled on the counter action and gets washed out and opens up a huge hole. Reggie does a nice job to take on a block and force Yearby outside. Jalen shuts it down |
| 3-6 | at Fs29 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya deep pass complete to 3A-Stacy Coley for 29 yards to the FS0, 1ST DOWN UM, TOUCHDOWN, clock 10:02. | UM catches FSU on a blitz. Hunter has no safety help and has no chance of hanging with Coley who makes and unbelievable catch. |

| 2-8 | at Fs18 | 11 gun | 6-Everett Golson deep pass incomplete to 15-Travis Rudolph (2-Deon Bush), clock 09:12. | UM brings blitz and it is picked up very well by the FSU OL/TE. Golson makes the right read and has Rudolph open in the vacated spot but he sails it a bit. Can live with that, |
| 3-8 | at Fs18 | Timeout Florida State, clock 09:12. | ||
| 3-8 | at Fs18 | Empty 5 wide | 6-Everett Golson post pass complete to 3-Jesus Wilson for 20 yards to the FS38, 1ST DOWN FS (5-Jermaine Grace), clock 08:55. | This is big time. Everett knows where he's going the whole time. Harrison and Jesus are in a two route combo. Jesus runs the square in and Harrison runs a delyed out to pull the LB. Golson has Chad Thomas in his face but throws an absolute dime in between the corner and LB. Jesus makes a phemonemal catch in traffic. Clutch. |
| 1-10 | at Fs38 | 11 gun | 4-Dalvin Cook rush over right end for 1 yard to the FS39 (8A-A. Muhammad;92-Courtel Jenkins), clock 08:31. | OZ. Kelly and Heofeld both allow a ton of penetration and Cook and get going. |

| 3-1 | at Fs47 | 22 | 6-Everett Golson rush right for 7 yards to the UM46, 1ST DOWN FS (2-Deon Bush), clock 07:48. | Designed QB sweep. Yikes Man. Everett might have gone for 50 if he goes outside like the play is designed, Freddie seals the LB and Mavety is running free on the pull. Oh well. First down. |
| 1-10 | at Um46 | 11 pistol | 4-Dalvin Cook rush right for 23 yards to the UM23, 1ST DOWN FS (1-Artie Burns), clock 07:15. | really nice job by the right side of the line. Kelly seals the DE and Bell holds seals both the DT and NT inside. Dalvin is a complete blur. Unbelievable explosiveness. Bobo with a great downfied block. Huge gain. |
| 1-10 | at Um23 | 11 | 4-Dalvin Cook rush right for 23 yards to the UM0, 1ST DOWN FS, TOUCHDOWN, clock 06:44. | Same exact play but from under center this time. Same result from both Bell and Kelly. Unbelievable block from Bobo,he tosses Tracy Howard into the stands (not really but still).Dalvin does the rest. Pure insanity to watch this guy tote the rock. |
| 6-Everett Golson pass attempt failed. | Nowhere to go with it. | |||
| Florida State 29, Miami 24 | ||||
| Drive: 8 plays, 84 yards, TOP 03:13 | ||||
| 19-Roberto Aguayo kickoff 65 yards to the UM0, touchback. | ||||
| 1-10 | at Um25 | MIAMI drive start at 06:44. | ||
| 1-10 | at Um25 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya crossing pass complete to 8-Braxton Berrios for 14 yards to the UM39, 1ST DOWN UM (1H-Tyler Hunter), clock 06:28. | Miami runs a rub route and the UM WR baiscally blocks Hunter 10 yards down field which frees up Berrios on the under route. Could have easily been OPI. |
| 1-10 | at Um39 | 4-2-5 | 15-Brad Kaaya sideline pass incomplete to 1A-Rashawn Scott, clock 06:16. | Nate comes on the blitz and gets in Kaaya's throwing lane as he tries to check down. Kaaya is a nervous wreck when there is pressure. |
| 2-10 | at Um39 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya sacked for loss of 5 yards to the UM34 (44-DeMarcus Walker), fumble by 15-Brad Kaaya recovered by UM 63-Danny Isidora at UM34, clock 05:36. | FSU in their pass rushing package. Walker is playing DT and destroys the RG with a devastating rip and dip move. He strips Kaaya and amazingly can't recover the ball. |
| 3-15 | at Um34 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya deep pass incomplete to 86-David Njoku, clock 05:25. | Cant see anything going on in the secondary with the camera angle. But Ramsey is coming on a corner blitz and Pugh twists inside to force Kaaya to let it go deep into double coverage. Big stop. |
| 4-15 | at Um34 | 16-Justin Vogel punt 38 yards to the FS28, 3-Jesus Wilson return 3 yards to the FS31, out-of-bounds (2C-Collin Alford). | ||

| 1-10 | at Fs31 | 21 bunch | 4-Dalvin Cook rush left for 9 yards to the FS40 (6A-Jamal Carter), clock 04:56. | OZ. Miami is playing run all the way. RoJo does an awesome job to hook and seal his man and Kerr manhandles the OLB down the field. Big time 1st down run. |
| 2-1 | at Fs40 | 21 | 4-Dalvin Cook rush up middle for 5 yards to the FS45, 1ST DOWN FS (6A-Jamal Carter;29-Corn Elder), clock 04:24. | IZ. The Interior OL does an awesome job of letting the slanting UM DL block themselves by washing to the playside and opening the designed cutback lane. Strong run from Cook to get a massive 1st down that forces UM to start burning TO's. |
| 1-10 | at Fs45 | 21 tight | PENALTY FS false start (77-Roderick Johnson) 5 yards to the FS40, clock 04:01. | just an awful false start |
| 1-15 | at Fs40 | 11 gun trips | 4-Dalvin Cook rush left for 2 yards to the FS42 (93-C. Heurtelou). | Hoefeld doesn't block the NG who scrapes accross the formation and makes the tackle. UM with 8 men in the box. |

| 2-13 | at Fs42 | 11 gun | 6-Everett Golson rush quarterback draw for 2 yards to the FS44 (1-Artie Burns;5-Jermaine Grace). | FSU shows same formation. FSu runs QB draw. Love the play call but UM is running a corner blitz that blows it up, Tip your cap. |
| 3-11 | at Fs44 | Timeout Miami, clock 03:26. | ||
| 3-11 | at Fs44 | PENALTY FS false start (78-Wilson Bell) 5 yards to the FS39, clock 03:26. | these are inexcusable | |
| 3-16 | at Fs39 | 10 Gun | 6-Everett Golson sideline pass complete to 8W-Kermit Whitfield for 11 yards to the 50 yardline (56-Raphael Kirby), clock 03:00. | FSU with trips to the boundary. Tough to tell but it looks like FSU runs clear out s to get Kermit underneath on an out route. Love the decision by Ev. Safe pass, gives your guy a chance to make a play for the first down. Big play because it allows FSU to try and pin UM deep. |
| 4-5 | at Fs50 | 38-Cason Beatty punt 31 yards to the UM19, fair catch by 29-Corn Elder. | need somethign way better than this | |
| Drive: 5 plays, 19 yards, TOP 02:31 | ||||

| 1-10 | at Um19 | 3-1-7 | 15-Brad Kaaya crossing pass incomplete to 8-Braxton Berrios (4N-Giorgio Newberry), clock 02:40. | FSU rushin. Such an instinctive play by Newberry to get his ling arms up to bat the ball. |
| 2-10 | at Um19 | 3-1-7 | 15-Brad Kaaya middle left pass complete to 8-Braxton Berrios for 6 yards to the UM25 (3J-Derwin James), clock 02:15. | FSU very content to allow Kaaya to hit the underneath stuff. Nice tackly by James to limit the gain. |
| 3-4 | at Um25 | 3-1-7 | 15-Brad Kaaya middle left pass complete to 2A-Joe Yearby for 11 yards to the UM36, 1ST DOWN UM, clock 01:52. | designed play to Yearby matched up with Northrup. For some reason Reggie just leaves him. Mental error from a 5th year senior. |
| 1-10 | at Um36 | 3-1-7 | 15-Brad Kaaya screen pass incomplete to 2A-Joe Yearby (44-DeMarcus Walker), clock 01:45. | Designed swing pass to yearby. Great job by Walker to recognize it and get up to bat the ball. |
| 2-10 | at Um36 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya crossing pass incomplete to 6-Herb Waters, clock 01:40. | UM runs a rub route to get Hunter one on one with Scott. Hunter does an excellent job to stick on his hip and force an incompletion. |
| 3-10 | at Um36 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya middle right pass complete to 6-Herb Waters for 6 yards to the UM42 (3J-Derwin James), clock 01:19. | UM OL is hugging the FSU DL. Ridiculous. Pugh gets lose and flushes Kaaya who hits Waters underneath for a short gain. |
| 4-4 | at Um42 | 4-1-6 | 15-Brad Kaaya middle right pass incomplete to 6-Herb Waters (4N-Giorgio Newberry). | FSU runs a twist and Pugh comes lose forcing Kaaya to get rid of it early. Newberry senses it and gets his arms up to bat another pass. Crazy good defense these last two drives. |
