Florida State vs Duke: A Historic Upset

In a stunning turn of events, the Duke Blue Devils defeated the Florida State Seminoles 23-16 on Friday night, marking the first time in program history that the Seminoles have lost to the Blue Devils.

The game was a tale of two halves, with Duke dominating the first half and Florida State rallying in the second. The Blue Devils took a 14-3 lead into halftime, but the Seminoles came out firing in the third quarter, scoring a touchdown and a field goal to tie the game at 16-16.

However, Duke would not be denied. The Blue Devils regained the lead on a 39-yard field goal by Todd Pelino with 8:59 left in the fourth quarter, and the Seminoles were unable to respond.
