Miami Hurricanes defeat Florida State 43-35 in double overtime

No. 3 Miami defeated rival Florida State 43-35 in a double-overtime thriller at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, while Malachi Toney recorded 11 receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including a scoring pass for a two-point conversion in the second overtime.

Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Duce Robinson contributed two touchdown receptions, including a 75-yard play that forced overtime. The game was marked by significant officiating controversy during the final possessions. A holding penalty on Florida State's Xavier Chaplin negated a potential touchdown on fourth-and-21, and a subsequent pass into the end zone was ruled an interception by Miami's Bryce Fitzgerald after a replay review.

Following the game, Florida State head coach Mike Norvell criticized the officiating, suggesting the crew had been a recurring issue in recent years. The victory keeps Miami undefeated (6-0) and positions them as a potential No. 1 in the upcoming AP Top 25 rankings.
