">">
A Brutal Night for the Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles suffered a humiliating 52-3 loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday night in South Bend, Indiana. The loss was the Seminoles' ninth of the season, tying the largest loss in school history, and dropped their record to 1-9 (1-7). Notre Dame, on the other hand, improved to 8-1 (0-0) with the victory.

The Fighting Irish were dominant from the start of the game, scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions. Riley Leonard was unstoppable, rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for 215 yards and another score. Jadarian Price also had a big night for Notre Dame, running for 65 yards and a touchdown.

The Seminoles, meanwhile, struggled to generate any offense. They managed just 130 total yards and were held to just a field goal. Quarterback Jordan Travis was sacked four times and threw an interception.

The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for the Seminoles, who had hoped to build on their lone win of the season against Georgia Tech last week. However, they were simply outmatched by a superior Notre Dame team.
Notre Dame's Defense Shines

The Notre Dame defense was outstanding on Saturday night, holding the Seminoles to just 130 total yards and forcing three turnovers. The Fighting Irish also sacked Travis four times and intercepted him once.

The defense was led by linebacker J.D. Bertrand, who had 10 tackles and two sacks. Defensive end Isaiah Foskey also had a big night, with eight tackles and two sacks.

The Seminoles were unable to get anything going on offense against the Notre Dame defense. Travis was constantly under pressure, and the running game was ineffective. The Seminoles managed just 3.0 yards per carry on the ground.
