MIAMI GARDENS — We’ve seen just about everything in the Florida State-Miami rivalry, from Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks leading shootouts to elite defenses filled with first-round picks to missed kicks.
On Saturday, we saw something that was expected but also stunning at the same time. Yes, Miami won convincingly in a game where FSU was competitive (at times) on the field but not competitive on the scoreboard.
But we saw a bizarre pendulum swing in just under two years: One that has taken fans of both schools on quite the ride, from a 45-3 FSU win over Miami in November 2022 to a 36-14 Seminoles loss on Saturday night. One win says plenty about how the Seminoles were climbing, one speaks volumes about the backwards and rapid descent.
