What went right, what went wrong on defense for FSU in statement win over Duke https://t.co/SDmAVhhrzE
FSU beats Duke 38-20. A lot more lopsided of a score than the type of game this was for about 3 quarters. Everything changed with Duke up 20-17 and Riley Leonard injured, failing to convert 4th down. Blue Devils are 5-2, 2-1 ACC and at Louisville next weekend.

FLORIDA STATE REMAINS UNDEFEATED 😤 The Seminoles beat No. 16 Duke to improve to 7-0 for the first time since 2014‼️ https://t.co/TcO7ypKRXc
FSU's defense gets a stop, and the #Noles are 7:12 away from a 7-0 start
Duke hadn't given up more than 21 points in a game this season. FSU is at 31 points with 8:23 remaining.
Credit Jordan Travis for bringing @Seminoles back, but honestly, play of the game was Riley Leonard getting hurt. Duke scores TD to go up 27-17 if he was in game. Make it much easier for FSU to defend run with starting QB out of game.
FSU's 13th straight game with at least 30 points. Comes against a Duke team that entered allowing 9.8 per game.
Jordan Travis using the legs on that drive including at the goalline for the TD! FSU goes 96 yards to take their first lead of the ballgame with 13:03 left in the 4Q
Jordan Travis keeps it and scores from two yards out. A 14-play, 96-yard drive gives FSU its first lead of the night. 24-20 #Noles with 13:03 left.
Duke went for it on fourth and goal and did not make it. Florida State now takes over at the 4 with 4:21 remaining in the third quarter.
Out of the timeout, Duke still going for it. Wow. Belin had a guy in the back of the end zone and missed him under pressure. FSU defense gets a stop but the offense takes over at its own 4.
Duke goes for it on 4th down. They get cute and try a misdirection throw with a backup QB. Incomplete. FSU's defense holds.
FSU's defense holds on fourth down inside its own 5. Still a 20-17 Duke lead
Three straight traditional runs by Duke and FSU's defense holds again. Duke lines up to go but then takes a timeout.
Duke down inside the FSU 25. Defense going to need to buck up again back in its own end.
Duke takes over at its own 39. Field position has been steadily not in FSU's favor throughout this game.
Duke takes over at its own 40. Field position has been steadily not in FSU's favor throughout this game.
Duke lined up to go for it but was just trying to draw FSU off. Delay of game and now Duke will punt.
Defense with a good start to the half. Braden Fiske's fingerprints all over that drive. Duke goes to line on 4th down and FSU forced to call a timeout. Good gamesmanship there from Duke to get FSU to burn a timeout very early. Duke staying out on 4th and 4.
3rd and 3 at the FSU 45 coming up for Duke. FSU defense hyping the crowd up.
Weird game. FSU has edge in most efficiency metrics. But Duke has been REALLLLLY good on the ground (poor run fits from FSU and a pair of holds that weren't called on long runs). You've missed a few shots and just have missed too many opportunities. That being said, FSU feels… https://t.co/CA9lcFvFJg https://t.co/KSZBAjkktX
Duke takes 20-17 lead to halftime and FSU will kick to the Blue Devils to start the 2nd half
Duke leads Florida State 20-17 at halftime - Blue Devils are getting it done on the ground, and Riley Leonard is showing some real grit taking hits and scrambling around on his injured ankle. Saw him wince a few times, but keeps on going.
Duke leads FSU 20-17 at halftime. Blue Devils get the ball to start the 2nd half
Halftime: No. 16 Duke 20, No. 4 FSU 17
Duke drills the field goal and retakes the lead 20-17 with 36 seconds left in the first half. Blue Devils also get the ball out of halftime.
Duke's 33-yard FG is good Blue Devils go up 20-17 with 36 seconds left in the half
FSU's defense holds in the red zone. Duke on for a 34-yard field goal. FSU offense will get the ball with about 35 seconds left and no timeouts if it tries to do something.
Duke having great success with a little counter-read run that FSU keeps overplaying. Uh, until that play.
Florida State cannot get out of its own way. FSU had two turnovers on downs that led to 10 Duke points and now Jordan Travis throws a pick-six. Duke leads 17-7 with 13:04 left in the first half.
Duke has 71 yards of total offense and somehow leads Florida State 17-7 in the second quarter.
Folks, this is not a fluke. FSU may come back to win this one. But Duke is legit. Especially on defense.
Duke made FSU work for every first down that touchdown drive (13 plays), but Jordan Travis had an answer each and every time. Needed it from your star QB and you got it. Down 3 heading to the 2nd quarter
FSU down inside the 10 on a pass to Jaheim Bell on the 12th play of the drive. And the Noles get in the end zone on the next play. Travis to Caziah Holmes for his second career FSU touchdown. Duke's lead cut to 10-7 after the 13-play drive. https://t.co/EAzpFiXAZq
0:13 left in the first Duke 10 FSU 7
FSU busts a run but it comes back on a hold. Going to be 2nd and 20 instead of a fresh set of downs inside the Duke 30.
Duke ends up adding a field goal to make it 10-0 early. Nice job from the defense to keep them out the endzone, but FSU still finds themselves down two scores early
Duke up 10-0 now, as a result of Florida State failing to convert on fourth-and-short and giving the Blue Devils terrific field position on both drives.
Huge response from FSU's defense. Will force Duke to kick from 45 yards out. It's good, but 3 is better than 7.
FSU's defense holds but Duke will attempt a 45-yard field goal.
Another 4th and short where Duke dominates the FSU OL results in another turnover on downs. Duke takes over inside the 35 already up 7-0
And #FSU is stuffed AGAIN on fourth and short. Duke takes over around the Noles' 35. Wow
And the inside run gets blown up. Duke takes over at the FSU 35. Woof.
DUKE GETS ON THE BOARD FIRST AGAINST FSU 😤 https://t.co/ttHr6KveJe
