In a hostile environment, the Miami Hurricanes went into Tallahassee and captured a well-earned victory over the eighteenth ranked, Florida State Seminoles. At the game's genesis, the Florida State Seminoles appeared to dominate, but the Hurricane defense bent and did not break, which lead to an early field goal for the Seminoles. Overall, the offense looked spectacular, especially, during the first three quarters. The Canes defense was dominant in the initial three quarters of the contest by producing three turnovers.
This weekend's contest against the Florida State Seminoles has proved to the nation, how the Miami Hurricanes are a program on the rise. Coach Mario Cristobal's team did not disappoint. Most teams do not enter into Doak Campbell Stadium and dominate the majority of the game. Both the offensive and defensive units played complementary football.
By the tail-end of the third quarter, the Miami Hurricanes built a 28 to 3 lead. Sure, the Seminoles scored a barrage of points in the fourth quarter to make the score appear that the game was closer, but the "undisputed kings" of the state of Florida made their claim that they are by far, the best team in the ACC conference, as well as one of the best college football programs in the country. From this time, going forward, the Canes control their own destiny.
It was a definite "confidence booster" for the Canes, regarding the program's capability to win on the road in an unfavorable environment. Now, that the battle of the state of Florida has been settled, the Hurricanes must focus on upcoming matchups within the ACC conference. Coach Cristobal has gotten the Hurricanes primed and ready for every single contest. He has, thus far, corrected the Miami Hurricanes program, when it comes to having a "let-down" in crucial contests.
Although the Canes have risen to each challenge in all of the program's 2025 contests, the team's mindset must continue to be the same, which would be to play physical and aggressive. Entering into another bye week and also approaching the mid-point of the season, the Miami Hurricanes are on the right course and trajectory in forging a path on becoming the program that the city of Miami could once again become proud of.
