FSU vs. Miami: A look at the statistically even matchup
A little under three years ago, the Miami Hurricanes traveled to Tallahassee, Florida, to take on the Florida State Seminoles. The No. 7 Hurricanes attempted to keep their 7-0 winning streak alive against the No. 3 Seminoles. However, they failed with a disappointing 41-14 score.
To be fair, this was a Miami team that by the end of the season only posted a top-10 record for kickoff returns, and they played the Seminole team that had Jameis Winston, who went on to win the Heisman that year and ranked within the top-10 nationally for total offense, team passing efficiency, scoring offense, third-down conversion percentage, fourth-down conversion percentage, red zone offense, total defense, passing yards allowed, passing efficiency defense, scoring defense and kickoff returns, according to NCAA Stats.
