On FSU's first play after the defensive
stop, on its own 32-yardline, Castellanos connected with running back Jaylin Lucas for a career-best 64-yard completion to the Alabama four. Running back Caziah Holmes then ran it in for the score to
punctuate the two-play, 68-yard drive that took just 37 seconds. The Crimson Tide cut their deficit to 24-10 with a field goal with 5:59 left in the third quarter. Alabama was forced to punt on its
next possession and turned it over on downs near the end of the third quarter before a touchdown made it a one-score game at 24-17 with 11 minutes left in regulation. A six-yard touchdown pass ended
the seven-play, 63-yard drive that took just over three minutes.
Florida State answered Alabama's touchdown drive with one of its own, as a 10-play, 75-yard drive that took 3:43 extended the
Seminole lead to 14, at 31-17. The drive featured a fourth-and-one conversion at the FSU 34 and was capped by a 14-yard scoring run by running back Gavin Sawchuk.
With 7:17 remaining in the fourth
quarter and down 14, the Crimson Tide's next drive saw them convert a fourth-and-sixth on their own 29 and nearly convert another fourth down, but the nine-yard rush came up one yard short. That
turned it over on downs on the FSU 49 yard line with 5:39 left.
A fourth-and-one conversion with just over two minutes on the clock sealed the win and set up victory formation for the Seminoles.

Florida State 77, East Texas A&M 3
09/06/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 14 Florida State Scores 77 In Victory Over East Texas A&M.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 14 Florida State football team defeated East Texas A&M 77-3
on Saturday afternoon at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The Seminoles (2-0) scored a touchdown on their first 10 drives, a first in program history. Florida State scored 77 points for the first time since
defeating Delaware State 77-6 in 2017. FSU also tied the program record for its largest margin of victory at 74 points and tied the school record for touchdowns scored in a game with 11.
The
Seminoles' 416 yards of offense in the first half is the highest first-half total by any team nationally this season. Florida State ended the game with 729 total yards, its most since totaling 771
against Clemson in 2000.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson set single-game career-highs with five receptions, 173 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. His 160 receiving yards in the first quarter broke
an FSU record.
Running back Gavin Sawchuk found the end zone three times in the first half, totaling 88 yards of offense. Sawchuk finished with two rushing touchdowns, with his final touchdown
coming through the air. Samuel Singleton Jr. led the Seminoles on the ground, carrying the ball four times for 82 yards and one touchdown. The last time FSU had 230 or more rushing yards and four or
more rushing touchdowns in consecutive games was in 2013, against Nevada (377 yards and six touchdowns) and Bethune-Cookman (266 yards and four touchdowns).
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos completed
eight of 11 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns. Castellanos surpassed 4,000 career passing yards after a 19-yard completion to Robinson late in the first quarter and now has 4,078 passing yards
for his career.
The Seminole defense posted nine tackles-for-loss, three sacks, and two interceptions. Florida State has recorded at least 5.0 TFL in 13 consecutive games, the longest streak since
a school-record 42-game stretch from Nov. 8, 2003, to Nov. 25, 2006. Tony White defenses have not allowed a rushing touchdown in nine consecutive home games. White-led defenses have held opponents to
20 or fewer points 17 times over the past 26 games.
The Florida State defense forced a quick punt to begin the game. The Seminoles capitalized and drove 78 yards on 12 plays, capped off on a 1-yard
Sawchuk rush. Florida State found the end zone four minutes later, on a one-play 82-yard touchdown pass from Castellanos to Robinson. The pair connected again for a 42-yard touchdown to put Florida
State up 21-0 to end the first quarter.
Defensive back Earl Little Jr. recorded his first career interception and returned it 48 yards to set up Florida State's fourth touchdown of the day, with
Sawchuk finding the end zone on a 1-yard rush. The Seminole defense forced another three-and-out, and four plays later, Castellanos connected with Sawchuk for a 53-yard touchdown.
The next Lions
possession resulted in an interception by Jerry Wilson, his first as a Seminole. Again, the Seminoles needed only four plays to find the end zone, scoring on a 53-yard rush by Micahi Danzy.
On the
next Seminole drive, Kevin Sperry connected with Jayvan Boggs, each earning their first career touchdown, to extend the Seminole lead to 49-0 at halftime and conclude a 28-point second quarter for
FSU.
The second half featured four more Seminole touchdowns. Brock Glenn connected with Amaree Williams for a 35-yard touchdown pass to begin the third quarter. After a couple of East Texas A&M
punts, Ousmane Kromah found the end zone for his first career touchdown, catching a short pass from Glenn and taking it 43 yards for the score. Another Lions punt led to Singleton Jr. finding the end
zone, scoring on a 53-yard rush to put FSU up 70-0 at the end of the third.
The Lions scored their only points of the game early in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on FSU's only turnover of the
game.
The Seminoles scored their 11th and final touchdown of the afternoon with a 13-yard rush by Zay Parks, his first as a Seminole.
Florida State has scored in all eight quarters this season,
and in 10 straight dating back to last season.

Florida State 66, Kent State 10
09/20/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. No. 7 Seminoles Beat Kent State 66-10.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Behind a school-record rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, the Florida State football
team beat Kent State 66-10 on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Six days before conference play begins, the Seminoles (3-0) turned in their second consecutive win of more than 50 points. FSU got
started with a school-record-tying 35 points in the first quarter, with scores on its first five possessions, and never looked back in the afternoon victory over the Golden Flashes (1-3).
FSU had
775 yards of total offense, a program-record 498 on the ground and 277 through the air. Meanwhile, the defense held KSU to 206 yards offensively, 163 passing and 43 rushing. Florida State converted
all but once on third down (nine-for-10), and had 37 first downs with 9.9 average yards per play. The team scored nine touchdowns, with a team-record eight on the ground, and was a perfect
eight-for-eight inside the red zone.
Running back Gavin Sawchuck ran for 97 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns, and fellow running back Samuel Singleton Jr. rushed for 86 yards on 10 carries
and also ran it in for two touchdowns. Wide receiver Micahi Danzy scored a touchdown on a 64-yard run, and running back Kam Davis also found the endzone for his first career touchdown on four rushes
for 30 yards.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 10-for-13 passing for 205 yards. He added two rushing touchdowns, running for 54 yards on seven carries.
Danzy accumulated 176 yards of total
offense, on two catches for 112 yards and one run for 64 yards, all in the first quarter.
Defensively, four Seminoles had four total tackles, including defensive back Earl Little Jr., who notched
two solo tackles. Linebacker Omar Graham Jr. had three tackles, all solo. Defensive back Jerry Wilson added an interception in the win, his second pick of the season.
For the second consecutive
game - a first in program history - FSU did not punt in the contest.
The game was delayed for nearly 40 minutes late in the second quarter due to weather.
The Seminoles needed just four plays to
take a 7-0 lead, as the opening drive that lasted 81 seconds was punctuated by Sawchuk's four-yard touchdown run. He had runs on three of the four plays on the 65-yard drive, beginning with a 40-yard
rush on the opening play from scrimmage.
After a three-and-out by the defense, Florida State doubled the lead on its next drive as Castellanos ran it in for the 12-yard score. The eight play,
95-yard drive took 3:23 and started with a 47-yard pass from Castellanos to Danzy.
Kent State cut its deficit in half on its next possession on a 75-yard touchdown pass to make it 14-7.
FSU
wasted no time with an answer, as a 65-yard pass from Castellanos to Danzy was followed by a 10-yard touchdown run by Castellanos. The two-play, 75-yard drive took just 35 seconds and made it a 21-7
game.
The defense notched another three-and-out to set up Florida State's third touchdown drive to extend the lead to 28-7. Danzy again had the big play, with a 64-yard touchdown run to conclude
the seven-play drive that went 84 yards in 2:47.
After KSU was forced to punt, FSU got the ball back at the opposing 47 yard line and quickly added to its lead to make it 35-7. Sawchuk ran it in
for the two-yard touchdown after a four-play, 47-yard drive in just 1:14.
A sack for a defensive stop on fourth-and-four at the Florida State 25-yard line gave the Seminoles the ball back with 6:27
left in the second quarter. Nine plays later, Singleton Jr. ran it in for a 15-yard touchdown to cap the drive that took more than four minutes. That extended the lead to 42-7 with 2:16 left in the
half.
An interception gave the ball back to the FSU offense with 35 seconds left in the half on its own 46 yardline. Six plays later, a 25-yard field goal by kicker Jake Weinberg as time expired on
the half made it 45-7.
A Kent State punt on the opening drive of the third quarter set up another Florida State touchdown drive to extend the lead to 52-7. It was another rushing score, as Davis
took it in from a yard out. The seven play, 75-yard drive that took 3:33 featured two pass completions from quarterback Kevin Sperry.
A KSU four-and-out set up another Seminole touchdown drive that
made it 59-7. FSU converted three times on third down, including with a two-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brock Glenn to tight end Landen Thomas with 5:02 left in the third quarter. The score
concluded a 10-play, 58-yard drive in 4:02.
The Golden Flashes began the fourth quarter with a 38-yard field goal to make it 59-10. The three points came at the end of a 14-yard drive that lasted
more than seven minutes.
Florida State responded right back with the final points of the day, a 37-yard run by Singleton Jr. to make it 66-10. With 8:20 left in the game, the touchdown wrapped up a
seven-play, 65-yard drive in 4:21.

Virginia 46, Florida State 38
09/26/2025, Charlottesville, Va.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. FSU Falls in Double Overtime at Virginia.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Florida State football team suffered its first loss of the season, 46-38 in
double overtime at Virginia on Friday night at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The Seminoles (3-1, 0-1 ACC) erased three deficits, including the third with a game-tying touchdown with
36 seconds remaining in regulation, but they could not answer a touchdown by the Cavaliers (4-1, 1-0 ACC) in the second overtime.
Playing its first ACC game and first contest away from home, FSU
trailed 14-0 but, aided by two interceptions, quickly answered to take the lead with three consecutive trips into the endzone. UVA tied it at 21-all with less than a minute left in the first half and
retook a 28-21 lead in the third.
The Seminoles tied it for a second time late in the third quarter and the Cavaliers went ahead 35-28 in the fourth. Florida State responded once more to tie it
35-35, this time with 36 seconds left in regulation. In overtime, both teams traded field goals before UVA scored a touchdown with a two-point conversion and FSU was unable to answer.
Florida State
had 514 total yards of offense, 258 passing and 256 rushing, while Virginia had 440 offensive yards, 229 through the air and 211 on the ground. Both teams had three turnovers which led to 14 points
each.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 18-for-32 passing for 254 yards while rushing for 78 yards on 14 attempts. He scored two touchdowns, one passing and one rushing. Wide receiver Duce Robinson
caught nine passes for 147 yards with a touchdown, and running back Gavin Sawchuk ran for 74 yards with one touchdown on 17 carries. Tight end Randy Pittman Jr. contributed to three touchdowns, one
passing, one receiving and one rushing.
Defensively, defensive back Earl Little Jr. had a game-high 13 tackles, four solo. Defensive back Ja'Bril Rawls had 11 tackles with one tackle-for-loss and
an interception. Linebacker Elijah Herring and defensive back Edwin Joseph also picked off passes on Friday night. Defensive back Ashlynd Barker picked up both of FSU's sacks on the night.
Virginia
took a 7-0 lead with five minutes remaining in the first quarter on a drive that started on the FSU 38 following a fumble. An interception deep in UVA territory gave the Cavaliers the ball back, and
the home team extended the lead to 14-0 15 plays and 81 yards later.
That's when Florida State responded, first with a seven-play, 75-yard drive capped by Sawchuk's two-yard touchdown run. Joseph
picked off the very next play at the Virginia 43, which set up Pittman's two-yard rushing touchdown to finish off a four-play, 27-yard drive that took 1:11 to tie the game at 14-14 with 5:29 left in
the first half.
It took all of four plays for the Seminoles to get the ball back again, as Herring's interception gave the visitors the ball at the UVA 45. Six plays and 45 yards later, it was
21-14 Florida State thanks to Castellanos' four-yard score on the ground.
Virginia was able to answer with a touchdown of its own on the next drive to tie the game at 21-21 with less than a minute
left in the half.
A missed field goal started the second half, and the Cavaliers then regained a 28-21 lead with a 12-play drive. FSU tied it right back again at 28-all on Pittman Jr.'s four-yard
pass to Robinson. That punctuated a seven-play, 75-yard drive.
With a 16-play drive that took nearly eight minutes, UVA answered to retake the lead at 35-28 midway through the final quarter of
regulation. Florida State's next drive was halted on 4th-and-1 at the Virginia 22, but the defense got a stop with just over two minutes left to give the Seminoles the ball back.
Eight plays later,
Castellanos found Pittman Jr. in the endzone for the game-tying touchdown with 36 seconds left on 4th-and-11. On a 67-yard drive that was aided by a 34-yard completion from Castellanos to wide
receiver Lawayne McCoy, the touchdown made it 35-35. Rawls' interception with 16 seconds left ended Virginia's attempt to win it in regulation.
In overtime, FSU got the ball first and kicked a
field goal to make it 38-35, only for UVA to answer with three points of its own. In the second OT session, the Cavaliers scored on a four-yard run on 4th-and-goal and converted the two-point
conversion to make it 46-38. The Seminoles could not get a first down on their try, and an interception in the end zone on 4th-and-12 ended the game.

Miami 28, Florida State 22
10/04/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Late Rally Comes Up Short in Top-20 Matchup.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State football team rallied late with 19 fourth-quarter points,
but it was not enough in a 28-22 defeat to No. 3 Miami on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.
The Seminoles (3-2, 0-2 ACC) scored 19 unanswered points on three
consecutive possessions in the final 10 minutes of the game after trailing 28-3 in the third quarter, but the Hurricanes (5-0, 1-0 ACC) prevented FSU from recovering an onside kick in the final
minutes.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos led back-to-back touchdown drives in the fourth quarter before setting up Florida State with a field goal with 50 seconds left to cut the deficit to six. The
second touchdown was on a 96-yard drive after the defense forced a three-and-out and before the Miami offense turned the ball over on downs. Both of FSU's touchdowns were capped by successful
two-point attempts.
Florida State had 404 total yards, 272 passing and 132 rushing, and held Miami to 338 yards, 241 through the air and 97 on the ground. Both teams recorded multiple fourth-down
conversions, FSU going 3-for-4 and UM being 2-for-3. The Seminoles had three turnovers.
Castellanos was 25-for-45 for 272 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also led the
team with 57 rushing yards on 16 attempts with a long of 18. Tight end Randy Pittman Jr. caught a team-best seven passes, with a touchdown, and wide receiver Duce Robinson had a team-high 87 yards
receiving.
Defensive back Earl Little Jr. led the defense with seven total tackles and linebacker Blake Nichelson had six tackles, four solo, and was one of five Seminoles with a
tackle-for-loss.
Florida State received the opening kickoff and turned it into a 3-0 advantage five minutes into the game on an 11-play, 70-yard drive. A 28-yard completion from Castellanos to
running back Ousmane Kromah on 3rd-and-2 helped extend the drive into Miami territory. Kicker Jake Weinberg's field goal attempt from 23 yards was good.
Miami was forced to punt on its next drive,
as was Florida State. The Hurricanes then took a 7-3 lead on a four-yard touchdown pass with 50 seconds left in the first quarter to cap a nine play, 79-yard drive.
An interception gave UM the ball
back, and one play later a 44-yard touchdown pass made it 14-3 with 11 minutes remaining in the second quarter. That ended up being the final points of the opening 30 minutes, as four punts and a
fumble ended the half.
To open the third quarter, the Hurricanes extended their lead to 21-3 with a 10-play drive that took nearly six minutes. A 40-yard touchdown pass on 4th-and-2 was the score.
An interception in the end zone gave the visitors the ball back, and UM made it 28-3 with a 24-yard touchdown completion to end the 80-yard, eight-play drive.
After punts by both teams, FSU scored
its first touchdown with 10:04 left in regulation to make it a 28-11 game. Castellanos found wide receiver Lawayne McCoy in the back of the endzone for the eight-yard touchdown pass, and wide receiver
Micahi Danzy ran in the two-point conversion. The 10-play, 47-yard drive featured a 10-yard run for a first down by Castellanos on 3rd-and-10.
With a short field to defend after an unsuccessful
onside kick attempt, the Seminole defense forced Miami into a three-and-out to give the ball right back to the Florida State offense.
Castellanos then led a 19-play, 96-yard touchdown drive in 5:10
to make it 28-19 with 3:22 left on the clock. A six-yard pass to Pittman Jr. completed the drive that featured four completions of more than 10 yards by Castellanos, all to different receivers.
Miami recovered its second onside kick and got one first down, but couldn't get a second to run out the clock. With 1:10, Florida State took over on downs at its own 23.
Trailing 28-19, Castellanos
got the Seminoles in field goal range with a 30-yard pass to Robinson. Weinberg was successful from 35 yards with 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Weinberg's second field goal of the game
made it a six-point contest at 28-22.
Florida State attempted an onside kick but could not recover and UM took a knee to end the game.

Pittsburgh 34, Florida State 31
10/11/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. FSU Edged by Pitt.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 25 Florida State football team's comeback bid came up just short in a 34-31 defeat to Pitt on Saturday
afternoon at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The Seminoles (3-3, 0-3 ACC) erased 7-0 and 14-7 deficits in the first and second quarters, respectively, but could not come back from down 34-24 late in the
fourth quarter. FSU scored a touchdown to make it a three-point game with less than two minutes left, but the Panthers (4-2, 2-1 ACC) recovered the onside kick to prevent the rally from continuing.
Florida State had 415 total yards of offense, 245 through the air and 170 on the ground, while Pitt had 476 yards, 321 passing and 155 rushing. The Seminole defense forced two turnovers, which led to
seven points, and the offense had one turnover that yielded a Pitt field goal.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 16-for-23 for 245 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Wide receiver
Micahi Danzy had a career-best seven catches for a career-high 133 yards with two touchdowns. Running back Gavin Sawchuk had a team-leading 14 rushes for a game-high 71 yards.
Defensively,
defensive back Ja'Bril Rawls had 10 tackles, all solo, with one of the team's eight tackles for loss. Defensive backs Edwin Joseph and Earl Little Jr. both had interceptions and Little Jr. also forced
a fumble.
The Panthers took a 7-0 lead on the opening possession of the game with a 15-play drive that took more than eight minutes and was aided by three fourth-down conversions.
Florida State
answered right back to tie the game at 7-7 with a one-yard rush on third down from running back Caziah Holmes with 3:17 left in the opening quarter. The eight-play, 65-yard drive that took 3:38 was
highlighted by a 33-yard run by Sawchuk on third-and-6 to set up first-and-goal.
Pitt regained a 14-7 lead on its next possession, with a 24-yard touchdown pass less than a minute into the second
quarter. The Panthers converted twice on third down during the nine-play drive that took nearly four minutes.
FSU was forced to punt on its next drive, but punter Mac Chiumento's kick pinned the
visitors back at the two yardline, and the Seminoles got the ball back after seven plays.
Just six plays and 62 yards later, Florida State tied the game at 14-14 on a 33-yard touchdown pass from
Castellanos to Danzy. The drive took 2:35.
The Seminoles intercepted passes on each of Pitt's next two drives, with Little Jr. notching the first at the FSU 18 with 2:59 left in the first half
before Joseph got the next at the FSU 12 with 1:26 remaining. Florida State was forced to punt after the first pick, but put together a touchdown drive on the next.
A 25-yard pass from Castellanos
to tight end Landen Thomas gave the Seminoles their first lead of the day, 21-14, with six seconds left in the half. The score punctuated the seven-play, 88-yard drive that took just 80 seconds and
started with a 23-yard pass from Castellanos to Danzy, and also featured a 19-yard completion to wide receiver Elijah Moore to the Pitt 25.
That ended the first half with FSU ahead by a score,
21-14.
Pitt tied the game at 21-21 five minutes into the third quarter. A 50-yard pass on third down helped extend the seven-play, 85-yard drive before a 16-yard touchdown pass on 3rd-and-long.
Florida State responded right back to regain the lead on a 34-yard field goal by kicker Jake Weinberg. That made it 24-21 with 5:41 left in the third quarter.
Following a fumble recovery near
midfield, Pitt tied the game at 24-all with 11:38 left in regulation. The Panthers kicked a 28-yard field goal to cap a five-play drive that started at the FSU 49 with a 35-yard completion.
The
Panthers forced a punt before regaining the lead on a 34-yard field goal with 7:15 remaining. The six-play drive that began after a Florida State punt included a 42-yard pass.
Pitt extended its
lead to 34-24 with a three-yard touchdown run with 2:28 left in the fourth. The visitor's drive took nearly four minutes and was 73 yards on eight plays, including a 30-yard run across midfield.
The Seminoles quickly got a touchdown back to cut the deficit to 34-31 with 1:45 left. A 58-yard touchdown pass from Castellanos to Danzy capped the 75-yard drive that was just four plays in 43
seconds.
Florida State attempted an onside kick with 105 seconds on the clock, but could not recover.

Stanford 20, Florida State 13
10/18/2025, Stanford, Calif.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Game-Tying Drive Comes Up Short at Stanford.
PALO ALTO, Calif. - The Florida State football team lost at Stanford 20-13 on Saturday night at Stanford
Stadium in Palo Alto, California.
With 63 seconds remaining, the Seminoles (3-4, 0-4 ACC) drove down the field 79 yards to try and tie the game, but the game-tying drive came up one yard short. The
Cardinal (3-4, 2-2 ACC) had taken a 20-10 lead late in the third quarter before FSU's comeback bid.
Florida State had 444 yards of offense, 311 passing and 133 rushing, while Stanford had 293
offensive yards, 161 through the air and 132 on the ground. FSU did not turn over the ball and forced one turnover that led to a field goal.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 14-for-28 for 242
yards passing with 33 yards rushing on 14 carries with a touchdown. Wide receiver Micahi Danzy paced the team with 106 receiving yards on three catches, while two players caught four passes, including
wide receiver Duce Robinson who totaled 98 yards receiving. Running back Gavin Sawchuk had 70 rushing yards on 20 carries, both to lead the team.
Linebacker Omar Graham Jr. had an FSU-best eight
tackles, five solo, and linebacker Blake Nichelson was second with seven tackles and had 1.5 tackles for loss. Defensive back Earl Little Jr. had an interception.
Stanford got the game's first
points, a field goal with 7:41 left in the first quarter on its opening drive of the night. That made it 3-0, and Florida State tied it at 3-3 less than 30 seconds into the second quarter.
Kicker
Jake Weinberg's 39-yard field gool was good to cap a 12-play, 54-yard drive that took 4:00. The drive was kept alive with a 20-yard pass completion from the FSU 39.
The Cardinal responded with
their first touchdown of the day, a seven yard pass to make it 10-7 with 9:13 left in the half. The 11-play, 75-yard drive started with back-to-back plays of 16 and 29 yards.
With less than three
minutes left in the half, Stanford made it 13-3 with a 26-yard field goal.
Florida State answered right back with a touchdown drive in the final minutes to cut the deficit to three, at 13-10.
Castellanos' eight yard run capped the 10-play, 75-yard drive in 2:14 that included a 37-yard pass from Castellanos to Robinson.
Both teams punted to start the second half, but Stanford then added
to its lead with a touchdown to make it 20-10 with 3:02 left in the third quarter. A one-yard rush on third down was the third third-down conversion on the 94-yard scoring drive that took more than
seven minutes.
On their opening possession of the fourth quarter, the Seminoles got to within seven at 20-13 as Weinberg kicked a 33-yard field goal with 9:21 left in regulation. Castellanos
started the nine-play, 44-yard drive with a 31-yard pass to running back Ousmane Kromah, and a two-yard run on fourth down kept the drive alive.
Florida State's defense then forced two
three-and-outs. The offense entered Stanford territory on its ensuing next two drives, but turned it over on downs. FSU then got the ball back again with 1:03 on the clock, and quarterback Kevin
Sperry attempted a game-tying drive. His 15-yard run got it started, followed by his 15-yard pass.
A 53-yard completion to the Stanford nine came with two seconds left on the clock. An incomplete
pass followed as time expired, but a Stanford penalty led to an untimed down with the ball at the two. Sperry's shovel pass to Sawchuk was complete, but he was ruled down just shy of the goal line to
end the game.

Florida State 42, Wake Forest 7
11/01/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Seminoles Beat Wake Forest.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State football team beat Wake Forest 42-7 on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The Seminoles (4-4, 1-4 ACC) scored two touchdowns in each of the second, third and fourth quarters while holding the Demon Deacons (5-3, 2-3 ACC) to one fourth-quarter score after they crossed
midfield just twice in the opening 50-plus minutes.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 12-for-16 passing for 271 yards with a touchdown, and he also had a rushing score. Running back Gavin Sawchuk
also scored two touchdowns, both rushing.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson had a game-high 148 yards receiving on five catches with a touchdown, while running back Samuel Singleton Jr. also scored as
part of a team-best 91 yards rushing on 14 attempts.
FSU had 421 yards offensively, 271 passing and 150 rushing, while holding Wake Forest to 247 yards, 162 through the air and just 85 on the
ground. The Seminoles averaged 7.4 yards per play and committed just four penalties in the game.
Defensively, Florida State forced two turnovers which led to 14 points. Defensive back Earl Little
Jr. had seven tackles with an interception and a forced fumble. Defensive back Ja'Bril Rawls recovered a fumble in the win.
Florida State took a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter on a six-yard
touchdown run by Castellanos. The score on third-and-5 came with 13:44 left in the half. A 65-yard pass from Castellanos to Robinson on third down highlighted the six-play, 80-yard drive and came
after the Seminole defense forced Wake to punt for a second time in two drives to begin the game.
FSU's defense did not allow the Demon Deacon offense to cross their own 37-yard line on their next
two possessions to set up another Florida State touchdown drive.
Singleton Jr. ran it in for 10 yards with 57 seconds remaining in the first half to punctuate a drive that he started with a 27-yard
rush. Castellanos also kept the drive alive with a 30-yard completion to tight end Randy Pittman Jr. on third-and-13.
The seven-play, 72-yard drive in 2:29 made it 14-0 before Wake's quarterback
was sacked to end the half.
Wake Forest entered FSU territory for just the second time on its first drive of the second half, and advanced past the 43-yardline for the first time. With the help of
a fourth-down conversion, the Deamon Decons got to the Seminole 12. However, after a false start penalty, a fumbled snap gave Florida State the ball, and with the penalty the Seminoles took over at
Wake's 47.
Florida State took advantage of the short field and made it 21-0 with 4:59 left in the third quarter. A one-yard run from Sawchuk capped the seven-play, 47-yard drive in more than three
minutes that included a 29-yard pass from Castellanos to Robinson on third down.
The defense got a stop on fourth down at Wake's 41, and the offense needed just two plays to make it 28-0. A 39-yard
pass from Castellanos to Robinson got FSU to the 1-yardline for Sawchuk to run it in with 1:45 left in the third. The two-play drive for 40 yards took 24 seconds off the clock.
An interception set
up another Florida State drive that started on the Wake Forest 20, and again it was a quick drive that extended the lead to 35-0. Pittman Jr. ran it in from seven yards out six seconds into the fourth
quarter to punctuate the 65-second, 20-yard drive that took four plays.
A punt sent up a third quick touchdown drive, but this one started at FSU's 22 and took 78 yards in 1:44. A 66-yard pass from
Castellanos to wide receiver Micahi Danzy got it started, and three plays later, Castellanos found Robinson in the endzone to make it 42-0 with 11:51 left in regulation.
Wake Forest avoided the
shutout with a six-yard touchdown pass with 6:49 remaining to make it 42-7.
The Demon Deacons looked to add a second score in the final seconds, but time expired with WF on FSU's nine.

Clemson 24, Florida State 10
11/08/2025, Clemson, S.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Florida State Falls on the road to Clemson.
CLEMSON, S.C. - The Florida State football team suffered a 24-10 loss at Clemson on Saturday night in
Clemson, South Carolina.
The Seminoles (4-5, 1-5 ACC) had 360 yards of offense, 250 passing and 110 rushing, while the Tigers (4-5, 3-4 ACC) had 319 yards offensively, 221 through the air and 98 on
the ground.
Saturday was the third time that FSU did not allow a touchdown in the second half, and the fifth time the opposition was held to fewer than 100 yards rushing.
Quarterback Tommy
Castellanos was 23-for-43 for 250 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Wide receiver Duce Robinson had 124 receiving yards on nine catches with a long of 27, all game highs. Fellow wide
receiver Lawayne McCoy caught his second career touchdown pass.
Robinson's 124 yards give Florida State a 100-yard receiver in four consecutive games, a first for the team since a five-game stretch
from 2013-14. Robinson is the first Seminole with four 100-yard receiving games in a season since Rashad Greene had eight in 2014.
Defensively, linebacker Blake Nichelson and defensive back Ashlynd
Barker each had seven tackles. Barker was one of five players with three solo tackles, including a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Defensive lineman Deante McCray had two TFLs with five tackles, three
solo.
Defensive lineman Mandrell Desir recorded five tackles, including a sack, his fourth of the season. He's the first true freshman to 4.0 sacks since Joshua Kaindoh in 2017.
Clemson took the
lead on the opening possession of the game with a 13-play, 6:35-minute drive capped by a four-yard touchdown run. The Tigers then converted the two-point conversion to make it 8-0.
The Florida
State defense followed by forcing a three-and-out on the next three drives. Then, a turnover on downs gave Clemson the ball on FSU's 39, and two plays later, a 34-yard touchdown pass extended the
Tigers' lead to 15-0 with 12:01 left in the second quarter.
The Seminoles then held CU to a field goal to make it 18-0 with 2:33 remaining in the half.
FSU's offense responded with a touchdown
to cut the deficit to 18-7 with 33 seconds left in the half. The 10-play drive in just 1:58 featured a 21-yard pass by Castellanos to McCoy on third down to get the Seminoles past midfield, and a
Castellanos run for 26 yards on fourth-and-two also kept the drive alive and put the visitors inside the red zone. Castellanos' seven-yard pass to McCoy on third down capped the scoring drive.
To
start the second half, Florida State missed a 40-yard field goal, and Clemson kicked a field goal on its first drive of the half to make it 21-7 with 6:01 left in the third. A field goal less than a
minute into the fourth quarter made it a 24-7 game after a nine-play drive that took nearly five minutes.
The Seminoles answered with a field goal of their own, as kicker Jake Weinberg was
successful from 46 yards to make it 24-10 with 7:37 remaining in regulation. The kick capped a 13-play, 47-yard drive that took 6:41 and included five plays of 10 yards or more.
A three-and-out
gave FSU the ball back with just over five minutes left, and Florida State got to Clemson's 36, but a sack on fourth down ended the scoring threat. The Seminoles got the ball again with 2:27
remaining, and a three-and-out gave them the ball again with 22 seconds on the clock, but the visitors could not get another score before time expired.

Florida State 34, Virginia Tech 14
11/15/2025, Tallahassee
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Seminoles Down Virginia Tech in Home Finale.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State football team concluded its home schedule with a 34-14 victory over
Virginia Tech on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The win is the 600th in program history, as FSU achieves the mark in its 79th season with a 600-295-17 (.667) all-time record.
The
Seminoles (5-5, 2-5 ACC) totaled 431 yards of offense and committed just one penalty with no turnovers while holding the Hokies (3-7, 2-4 ACC) to 363 yards as the visitors turned the ball over twice
and committed eight penalties.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos accounted for three touchdowns, two rushing and one passing. His second rushing touchdown was his eighth on the year, the most in a
single season in program history. Castellanos tied and then passed Jordan Travis, who had seven in four consecutive years from 2020-23.
On Saturday night, Castellanos was 12-for-24 passing for 189
yards and added 45 yards rushing on seven attempts. He eclipsed 6,000 passing yards in his career when he reached 183 on the night.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson caught six passes for 134 yards with
a touchdown, all game highs. It is Robinson's ACC-leading fifth 100-yard game of the season and the most for a Seminole since Rashad Greene achieved that feat in eight games in 2014. It also was
Robinson's fifth 120-yard game of 2025, second-most nationally and tying Greene for the most by an FSU player in the past 20 years.
Robinson gives Florida State a 100-yard receiver for the fifth
consecutive game, the team's longest stretch since another five-game streak from 2013-14.
Defensively, the Seminoles had 57 total tackles, led by linebacker Elijah Herring's seven. He and defensive
back Earl Little Jr. tied for game highs with four solo tackles. Defensive back Jerry Wilson had an interception and linebacker Blake Nichelson recovered a fumble in the victory. Wilson and Nichelson
each had one of the team's four tackles-for-loss.
Neither team punted in the contest.
Both teams missed field goals in the first quarter before the Seminoles took a 3-0 lead early in the second.
On a scoring drive that started late in the opening quarter at FSU's 36, kicker Jake Weinberg's 26-yard field goal with 10:56 left in the second quarter broke the scoreless game. The 16-play drive
included three third-down conversions.
On its next drive, Virginia Tech scored the game's first touchdown to take a 7-3 lead with 5:25 remaining in the first half. The 10-play drive took 5:31 and
ended up being the only time the visitors held the lead.
The Seminoles quickly answered with a touchdown of their own to regain a 10-7 advantage just over two minutes later. A 50-yard pass from
Castellanos to Robinson for the score with 3:11 left in the second quarter capped the five-play drive.
VT got to Florida State's 41 in the final moments of the first half, but a hail mary into the
endzone as time expired was incomplete to preserve FSU's 10-7 lead at the half.
Florida State opened the second half with a 13-play, 63-yard touchdown drive to extend the lead to 17-7. Castellanos
ran it in from one yard out for the score with 9:33 remaining in the third quarter. The drive was aided by a pair of penalties, one on third down to extend the drive and the second on fourth down that
turned a field goal on 4th-and-5 into 4th-and-1. A four-yard rush then set up 1st-and-goal from the one and Castellanos' touchdown.
The Hokies got to the FSU 33 on their next drive before fumbling
the ball on third down, and the Seminoles proceeded to convert that turnover into seven points and a 24-7 advantage with 54 seconds left on the clock in the third quarter. Tight end Randy Pittman Jr.
ran it in for a yard to cap the 67-yard drive that took 4:19. Four of the nine plays were for at least 12 yards, including back-to-back passes from Castellanos for 17 and 16 yards, respectively, one
play after a 12-yard rush from the FSU quarterback.
Virginia Tech found the end zone for the second time early in the fourth quarter on an eight-yard completion with 11:20 left. That cut the
Florida State lead to 10, at 24-14.
FSU again responded on its next drive with a touchdown to extend the advantage back to 17 points, 31-14. The 61-yard drive in seven plays took 3:41 and ended
with Castellanos running it in from 15 yards. The drive started with an 18-yard connection from Castellanos to Robinson to get into VT territory.
A turnover on downs gave the Seminoles the ball
back at the Tech 33, and a Weinberg field goal made it 34-14 with 4:12 left in regulation.
The Hokies turned it over again on downs, with a tackle for a loss of three yards on 4th-and-1 inside FSU
territory ending the visitor's drive. Florida State ran out the clock to seal the 34-14 win.

North Carolina State 21, Florida State 11
11/21/2025, Raleigh, N.C.
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Rally Comes Up Short at NC State.
RALEIGH, N.C. - The Florida State football team suffered a 21-11 loss at NC State on Friday night in Raleigh, North
Carolina.
In the team's ACC finale and second-to-last game of the regular season, the Seminoles (5-6, 2-6 ACC) got to within three points with a fourth-quarter touchdown and two-point conversion
after trailing 14-3 in the third quarter. However, the Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4 ACC) answered with a touchdown and prevented FSU from getting any closer.
Florida State totaled 383 yards of offense, 203
passing and 180 rushing. NC State had 286 offensive yards, with 152 through the air and 134 on the ground. FSU has outgained its opponent 10 times in 2025, the most since it did so 11 times in 2022,
while it achieved that feat seven times in ACC play, the most since seven also in 2014.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 16-for-32 passing for 203 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He
added a team-best 76 yards rushing on 11 attempts. With tonight's performance, Castellanos surpassed 8,000 total yards in his career.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson caught four passes for 74 yards
with a touchdown. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season, the 14th player in program history to pass that total and first since Tamorrion Terry had 1,188 in 2019. His 1,021 yards in 2025 is No.
10 all-time in Florida State's record books.
Defensively, linebacker Stefon Thompson led the team with nine total tackles, five solo tackles and 1.5 sacks. Defensive lineman Mandrell Desir had one
sack, his sixth of the year, to become the third true freshman in program history to have more than 5.0 sacks.
The defense totaled 82 tackles with four sacks and seven tackles-for-loss.
NC State
took a 7-0 lead on its second possession of the game, with 2:56 left in the first quarter. A 23-yard completion capped the nine-play drive.
Florida State answered with a field goal to cut the
deficit to 7-3 with 14:06 on the clock in the second quarter. The 10-play drive featured four plays of at least 10 yards, including 10- and 11-yard rushes by Castellanos.
The Seminole defense
forced a pair of punts and held the Wolfpack without any points in three possessions in the second quarter as NC State took a 7-3 lead into halftime.
On their first possession of the second half,
the Wolfpack extended their lead to 14-3 with a one-yard touchdown run with 4:17 left in the third. The 15-play drive that took nearly nine minutes included a conversion on 4th-and-1.
FSU turned it
over on downs at midfield on its next possession with just over a minute left in the third quarter before a punt gave the Seminoles the ball back early in the fourth.
Ten plays and 86 yards later,
Castellanos connected with Robinson for a nine-yard touchdown pass and it was 14-9. A successful two-point conversion made it a three-point game at 14-11 with 8:17 left in regulation. The scoring
drive was aided by a 34-yard pass from Castellanos to Robinson on third down, three plays before the touchdown.
Florida State's defense then forced a pair of punts before NC State found the endzone
again to extend the lead to 21-11. The 12-yard touchdown pass came on 4th-and-6 with 1:47 remaining after the four-play drive in just 34 seconds.
The Seminoles had two possessions before time
expired, but a missed field goal and a game-ending interception prevented the visitors from getting any closer.

Florida 40, Florida State 21
11/29/2025, Gainesville
From the FSU Website, seminoles.com. Florida State Falls to UF.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The Florida State football team suffered a 40-21 loss at Florida on Saturday evening in Gainesville.
The Seminoles (5-7) had 407 total yards of offense, 240 passing and 167 rushing, while the Gators (4-8) had 440 yards, 272 on the ground and 168 through the air. FSU averaged more than 14 yards per
completion and forced one turnover that led to seven points.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 17-for-28 passing for 240 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He added a team-best 77
rushing yards on 19 attempts with a touchdown.
Wide receiver Lawayne McCoy led the team with six catches for 110 yards, both career-high totals, and he and wide receiver Micahi Danzy each had a
touchdown reception.
With his third touchdown catch of the season, along with his three rushing scores in 2025, Danzy becomes the first FSU player since 2019 with three receiving and three rushing
touchdowns in a single season and just the second wide receiver, joining Peter Warrick in 1999.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson had 60 receiving yards, including a game-best long of 44, to move up to
No. 9 on FSU's single-season list. He concludes the year with 1,081 receuving yards.
Defensively, linebacker Stefon Thompson led the team with 10 total tackles and was one of four players with 0.5
sacks. Defensive back Shamar Arnoux had a team-best six solo tackles. Defensive back Edwin Joseph had an interception in the second quarter, his third of the year and fourth of his career.
Florida
took a 3-0 lead on its first possession of the game with a 23-yard field goal just over five minutes into the game. UF made it 10-0 with a five-yard touchdown pass to end an 11-play drive on its next
possession.
FSU answered with a touchdown of its own to cut the deficit to 10-7 on the next drive. Castellanos' 13-yard pass to Danzy on third down capped the nine-play, 75-yard drive that took
4:10 and began with a 12-yard rush and a 13-yard completion by Castellanos. The score came with 13:39 left in the half.
The Gators then extended their lead back to 10, at 17-7, with a touchdown on
the ensuing drive. A nine-yard pass concluded the eight-minute drive with 5:38 on the clock in the second quarter.
The Seminoles drove to the Florida 20 on their next possession, but a fumble
turned the ball over. However, two plays later, Joseph picked off the pass at the 43 and returned it 21 yards to the 22.
That set up a quick touchdown for Florida State to trim the deficit to three
at 17-14 with 1:11 remaining in the half. Castellanos ran it in from four yards out to punctuate the quick four-play, 21-yard drive in just 49 seconds.
The FSU defense forced a punt before time
expired on the half.
A pair of sacks helped force a three-and-out on UF's opening drive of the second half. The Gators scored on their next drive, a three-yard touchdown pass, to make it 24-14 with
9:47 left in the third quarter. The score came at the end of the three-play, 40-yard drive.
Florida extended the lead to 31-14 on a 22-yard rushing score. With just under three minutes remaining in
the quarter, it ended an eight-play, 58-yard drive. A 54-yard field goal with 7:38 remaining in the game made it 34-14.
The Seminoles answered with a touchdown, a 17-yard completion from
Castellanos to McCoy with 3:07 on the clock. Making it 34-21, the 11-play, 83-yard drive in 4:26 was kept alive by an 18-yard pass from Castellanos to McCoy on 4th-and-11. The duo set up the score
with a 27-yard completion one play before.

drive. The Seminoles drove down the field in the final minute, but an interception ended the game.
