The game saw the Syracuse Orange struggle to find their rhythm against a formidable Seminoles defense.

Despite attempts to penetrate Florida State's defense, they completed only six out of seventeen passes and were intercepted once.

Defensively, Syracuse managed to sack the opposing quarterback three times for a loss of nineteen yards and recorded nine tackles for loss totaling twenty-three yards lost for Florida State.

One bright spot was Syracuse's field goal kicking where they successfully made one out of two attempts from within thirty-nine yards but missed another from beyond fifty.
