{"id":835,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/835","headline":"Miami survives FSU in double overtime, 43-35","dek":"A reversed touchdown and a contested end zone interception ended Florida State's upset bid against the No. 3 Hurricanes.","body":"Florida State's bid to knock off in-state rival Miami fell apart in double overtime Saturday, as the No. 3 Hurricanes escaped with a 43-35 win. Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns for Miami, which needed every bit of it against an unranked FSU team that refused to go away.\n\nThe Seminoles forced overtime with a 75-yard touchdown with two minutes left in regulation, then traded scores with Miami in the first extra period. In the second overtime, Miami scored first, leaving FSU facing fourth-and-forever near midfield. A 36-yard touchdown pass to Micahi Danzy was wiped out by a holding call, and a desperation throw to Duce Robinson in the end zone was picked off to end the game.\n\nSeminoles head coach Mike Norvell did not hide his frustration afterward. \"We had opportunities, but those guys competed until the very end,\" he said. \"For the ending to be like that — I'm just sick.\" Norvell added that he never got an explanation for the final interception call.\n\nThe loss came on a chaotic Saturday that also saw five of the top seven ranked teams in the country fall, though FSU ultimately could not join that list of upsets.","published_at":"2026-10-18T05:50:08.332287+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU football's Mike Norvell 'sick' after dramatic Miami 2OT loss","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-footballs-mike-norvell-sick-045307044.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Miami survives two Hail Marys, leaving FSU without answers in 2OT thriller","url":"https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50207351/miami-holds-florida-state-double-thriller"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Live look at ACC replay center during FSU Hail Mary review brings clarity and disappointment","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/replay-center-florida-state-miami-hail-mary-review.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU releases uniform combination for rivalry game vs. Miami","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-releases-uniform-combination-rivalry-203959100.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU loses double-overtime heartbreaker to Miami","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-loses-double-overtime-heartbreaker-030447088.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU football falls in dramatic 2OT loss to No. 3 Miami","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-football-falls-dramatic-2ot-034106536.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU football fans react to controversial loss vs Miami","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-football-fans-react-controversial-033319900.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Inside wild double-overtime ending of Miami-Florida State","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/inside-wild-double-overtime-ending-032603495.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FSU football's miracle moments wiped away in overtime loss to Miami","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fsu-footballs-miracle-moments-wiped-033542153.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Recap: Miami defeats Florida State 43-35 in double overtime","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/recap-miami-defeats-florida-state-035014168.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Two controversial calls helped decide Miami's win vs FSU.
