Florida State has shown it’s able to put points on the board against a top team like Notre Dame. Unfortunately for the Seminoles, the Irish are answering every score with one of their own. It could only be a matter of time before the Irish make the deficit big enough to make a comeback almost impossible. They lead, 42-26, after three quarters.
The Seminoles started the second half fast with a 30-yard pass from Jordan Travis to Tamorrion Terry. They continued to go to the air until they got into the red zone. La’Damian Webb punctuated the drive with a 7-yard touchdown run. The subsequent pass on the two-point conversion was incomplete.
The Irish started the next drive on their own 14-yard line after a penalty on the kickoff. The distance didn’t matter because the offense put together perhaps its most impressive drive so far this season. Not only did it convert on a fourth down, but Javon McKinley caught a 38-yard pass from Ian Book to set the Irish up to score again. They did just a few plays later when Book took the ball into the end zone from 3 yards out.
