Seminoles Dominate Blue Devils at Bobby Bowden Field in Week 15 Football Showdown

The Florida State Seminoles, with a record of 1-0, hosted the Duke Blue Devils, standing at 0-3, in a high-scoring affair that ended with the Seminoles outpacing their opponents by a score of 56-35.

The game at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium saw the Florida State Seminoles assert their dominance early on. The home team's offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed an impressive total of 518 yards. The ground game proved particularly effective for the Seminoles, churning out 324 rushing yards over 43 attempts. This relentless attack was highlighted by a spectacular longest touchdown run covering 73 yards and contributing to the six rushing touchdowns scored during the game.

Florida State's passing game also made significant contributions to their offensive success. Quarterback play was sharp as evidenced by a completion percentage of approximately 67 percent from just 21 attempts resulting in two touchdowns through the air. One such pass led to an explosive play with a longest touchdown reception of 68 yards.

Special teams had moments worth noting too; although no punts were blocked or returned for touchdowns, punters managed to keep their kicks averaging around 45 yards across three attempts and placed one inside the opponent's twenty-yard line.

Defensively, Florida State showcased its ability to disrupt Duke's plays and create turnovers. The defense intercepted three passes while recovering one fumble forced by their own efforts. These takeaways were crucial in halting any momentum that Duke tried to build throughout the contest.

Despite these strong performances from various units on the team, penalties did occur but remained relatively low with only six infractions costing them a total of fifty-seven penalty yards.

Looking ahead after this decisive victory at home, fans can anticipate seeing more action from Florida State when they travel to face Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Truist Field in Winston-Salem on December nineteenth scheduled for five o'clock PM Eastern Time.
