Florida State scored on its first possession, a 4 yard run by Devonta Freeman, and never looked back en route to a 51-3 victory over #9 Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game. Freshman quarterback sensation and the projected Heisman trophy winner Jameis Winston threw for 371 yards and 5 touchdowns in his best game of the season and the Seminoles rolled to their second straight ACC Championship.

Winston connected with senior receiver Kenny Shaw for 225 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air and tight end Nick O'Leary also caught 5 passes for 124 yards and a pair of scores. The two combined for 13 catches, 349 yards, and 5 touchdowns. Kelvin Benjamin caught one pass for 4 yards and Christian Green caught another for 18, but Shaw and O'Leary played lights out for their freshman quarterback en route to the win.

Devonta Freeman ran for 79 yards and another score on the day but, more importantly, he passed 1,000 yards rushing on the season, becoming the Seminole's first 1,000 yard rusher since Warrick Dunn. Karlos Williams and James Wilder Jr accounted for 104 rushing yards between them as the Seminoles run game could not be stopped.

The Florida State defense was dominant, knocking Virginia Tech quarterback out of the game early with a sprained shoulder and harassing backup quarterback Mark Laul throughout the night. Terrance Brooks accounted for 7 solo tackles and PJ Williams recorded 4 tackles and 2 interceptions in the game. Christian Jones proved that he has become a dominant edge rusher, with 3 sacks against the stout Virginia Tech offensive line.

With the win, Florida State is now looking forward to their National Championship matchup with #2 Oklahoma, the undefeated Big 12 Champions.
