Florida State has sputtered this season and Miami has not lost a game. Both trends held true, although barely, as the Hurricanes needed two overtimes to survive another upset bid on a day filled with chaotic finishes and upsets.
Miami quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, the last of them a 3-yarder to Malachi Toney in the second overtime, and No. 3 Miami held on to beat archrival FSU 43-35 in a back-and-forth classic.

Ashton Daniels threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns for FSU. Duce Robinson had a pair of touchdown catches late, including a 75-yarder that tied the game with less than three minutes left in regulation and a 20-yard score to open the first overtime.
