Florida State and SMU play without instant replay during Monday night game

Florida State faced SMU on Monday night at Doak Campbell Stadium following a two-hour power outage that delayed the kickoff. The game proceeded without access to instant replay technology, leading to officiating disputes. During the second quarter, referees ruled that Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah stepped out of bounds at the 31-yard line on a long gain, preventing a potential scoring opportunity. The Seminoles ultimately finished the drive with a field goal. Following the ruling, the teams continued play, with Kromah later scoring a six-yard rushing touchdown to tie the game at 17-17. The officiating decision drew immediate criticism from spectators due to the lack of video review availability for contested plays. The game remained ongoing at the time of reporting.
