#501: MIAMI WINS 43-35 vs Florida State in 2OT | OBB Week 7 Recap Show18 oct.51 min

Miami beat Florida State 43-35 in double overtime, on the same Saturday five of the top eight teams in the country went down. It wasn't pretty. The Canes piled up 583 yards of offense and still needed two extra periods to put away a Seminoles team they should've handled. We break down how FSU hung around: Mike Norvell refusing to kick (nobody attempted a field goal all night), a field position gap that had Miami starting deep in its own end while FSU kept getting the ball near midfield, back-to-back personal fouls, and three Darian Mensah plays he'd like back.

Then the run game. Is "A-gap for life" dead with this offensive line? Javion Mallory went for 108 yards on 13 carries and might be RB1 now, Mark Fletcher is playing through a wrist issue, and yes, we have thoughts on where Girard Pringle ends up. Plus Malachi Toney's two-point throw, true freshman Stafford stepping in when Toney went down, and what went wrong in the secondary on Deuce Robinson's 75-yard touchdown.

We also get to the rest of the carnage: Georgia losing to Auburn at home, Notre Dame falling at BYU, Florida knocking off Texas, Julian Sayin's injury at Ohio State, and whether Miami is about to be No. 1 for the first time since 2002. We wrap with AP poll predictions, why college football is turning into NHL hockey, how big the playoff should really be, and a look ahead at Pitt at noon, UNC on Halloween and the trip to Notre Dame.
