Hurricane Killers!
The Seminoles downed the Hurricanes behind a once again stellar defensive performance. Christian Ponder was not too shabby himself going 25 of 32 for 267 yards and 2 TD's. FSU once again scored on the first drive of the game when Ponder hit Taiwan Easterling for a 6 yard touchdown. The noles extended their lead to 14-0 in the second quarter when Jermaine Thomas ran in from 1 yard out. In the second half Ponder struck again when he hit Richard Goodman for a 25 yard touchdown strike. Miami finally got on the board when Jacory Harris hit L. Byrd for a 9 yard touchdown. FSU capped off the scoring when surprisingly the fullback Matt Dunham got a rare carry that he took in for a 17 yard touchdown.
