SMU defeats Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium

SMU handed Florida State a 27-24 loss at Doak Campbell Stadium on Monday. The game remained tied until late in the fourth quarter when SMU kicker Nick Reed converted a 20-yard field goal with 21 seconds remaining. Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels finished with 125 passing yards, while SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings recorded 430 passing yards and three touchdowns. Following the result, public criticism regarding head coach Mike Norvell’s game management has intensified among the team's fanbase. Florida State currently faces a significant buyout obligation, estimated at $51 million, should the school opt to terminate his contract during the current season. The Seminoles will utilize a bye week before traveling to face Alabama on September 19.
