Football

FSU was a four-point underdog at kickoff to LSU — and despite a couple of late miscues, managed to leave the Superdome in New Orleans with a one-point victory, blocking an extra point with no time left to beat LSU 24-23.

“It’s determination. It’s heart,” head coach Mike Norvell said when describing his team’s win. “It’s a willingness that, even after a disappointing moment, our guys responded.”

Soccer

No. 10 FSU soccer secured a major win of its own on Sunday, taking down the Florida Gators 5-0 in Gainesville. Next up for FSU is a match vs. FGCU, set for this Thursday at 7 p.m.

All Sports

Florida State faced off against two schools for the first time — Austin-Peay and Yale — and snagged wins vs. both, with the Seminoles beating the Governors (2-3) in four sets (25-12, 23-25, 25-17, 25-18) and the Bulldogs in three sets (25-15, 25-10, 25-25-11) on Saturday at Tully Gym in Tallahassee.
