At Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium, the home crowd of 60,351 witnessed the Florida State Seminoles' offense in full swing. The passing game was particularly effective, with the quarterback throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns. A remarkable completion rate of 73 percent kept drives alive and contributed to their total of 22 first downs. One touchdown pass stood out as it covered 43 yards, demonstrating the explosive capability of the Seminole's aerial attack.


The ground game added balance to their offense, albeit with modest numbers – totaling just 53 yards on 32 attempts. However, persistence paid off as they punched in one rushing touchdown from an impressive distance of 41 yards. This score complemented their passing efficiency and helped maintain control throughout the game.


Special teams also played a role; although no punts were blocked or returned for touchdowns, Florida State managed to keep all six kickoffs resulting in touchbacks – showcasing strong kickoff coverage that limited return opportunities for North Carolina State.


Penalties could have been problematic for both teams but were particularly notable for Florida State who accrued thirteen penalties amounting to nearly a hundred penalty yards. Despite this setback, it did not significantly hamper their overall performance or outcome.


Defensively, Florida State forced two fumbles during critical moments which they recovered themselves adding momentum to their side while halting any progress by North Carolina State's offense. They also recorded two sacks contributing to an assertive defensive display that kept pressure on North Carolina State throughout four quarters.


As fans look ahead after celebrating this victory at home turf Tallahassee under outdoor conditions perfect for football; attention turns towards another challenging encounter against Clemson Tigers at Memorial Stadium on October 12th at 7:30 PM local time broadcasted on ABC network – where supporters can tune in hoping for another strong performance by their team.
