The GoodA win! I will never take this for granted!A win vs Florida State! I love beating our little brothers from Tallahassee. Enjoy the flight home, LOSERS.QB Darian Mensah. It wasn’t perfect, but it was still damn good. 23/34 passing (67.6% completions) for 326 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception, and 3 carries for 6 yards rushing. Mensah’s cumulative stats this year: 134/167 passing, 80.2% completions, 1,764 yards, 18 touchdowns, 1 interception, 15 carries, 85 yards, 2 touchdowns.WR Malachi Toney. Superstar did superstar stuff. 11 catches for 154 yards and 2 touchdowns, 2 carries for 31 yards, and 1/1 passing for a 2pt conversion. RB Javian Mallory. 13 carries for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’s the co-starter in my mind at this point. RB Mark Fletcher Jr. 16 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown. WR Daylyn Upshaw. 4 catches for 91 yards. LB Mo Toure. 12 tackles, including some BIG ONES to keep FSU from gashing yards and points. DT Justin Scott. 8 tackles and tons of solid play on the interior of the line. S J.J. Dunnigan. 7 tackles and a TFL. LB Chase Smith. 6 tackles and flashed his positive athleticism all night. DL Armondo Blount. 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, 2 QBHurries. TE Elija Lofton. 3 catches for 26 yards and a touchdown. And more solid blocking, which is a big bonus when he’s able to do that. Miami forced an early punt on the first FSU drive. Allowed 1 first down but then locked in. Malachi Toney with this insane catch on 3rd down. Over 3 defenders!!!!30 yard REC MALACHI TONEY!!! pic.twitter.com/iKGRODvRuS— Grant Reacts (@GrantReacts1) October 17, 2026LB Chase Smith with a run stop on 4th and 2 from the Miami 3 to end FSU’s 2nd drive and keep the Noles off the scoreboard! HUGE PLAY!!!LB Mo Toure with a pair of nice tackles, one in the run game, and one on punt return, that kept FSU from gaining SERIOUS yardage in the 1st half. The NASCAR rush package — Damon Wilson II, Third Scroggins III, Booker Pickett, and Marquise Lightfoot — generating immediate and consistent pressure when they were on the field. Mensah Magic. Just watch the play. You’ll see what I’m talking
