Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) – Florida State escaped by the skin of its
teeth once again on Thursday.
The second-ranked Seminoles fell into a huge hole against upset-minded
Louisville but scored 35 of the final 42 points to pull out a hard-fought
42-31 victory.
Flirting with disaster has become commonplace for the Seminoles, who beat
Clemson in overtime last month, overcame a 17-point deficit against NC State
and needed a questionable pass interference call in the final seconds to upend
previously unbeaten Notre Dame their previous time out.
Thursday’s comeback may have topped them all, as they fell down 21-0 in a
hostile environment against one of the nation’s stingiest defenses.
Dalvin Cook scored the go-ahead touchdown with 3:46 left in regulation, and
FSU (8-0, 5-0 ACC) miraculously ran its school-record winning streak to 24.
