Florida State took its first lead of the night at No. 3 Miami when Ashton Daniels threw a 28-yard screen pass to Quintrevion "Tre" Wisner for a touchdown with 4:09 left in the third quarter, per ESPN. Gabe Panikowski's extra point made it FSU 21, Miami 14.

*As of 9:44 PM ET Saturday: FSU 21, Miami 14, 1:36 - 3rd Quarter. In progress; we will post the final.*

## The scoring drive

FSU took over at its own 42 after Miami's turnover on downs and scored in four plays, going 58 yards in 1:36, according to ESPN:

- Daniels to Wisner, 2 yards, to the FSU 44.
- On second-and-8, Daniels went deep right to Jayvan Boggs for 26 yards to the Miami 30\. Dustin Lewis of NoleGameday/On SI [called it](https://x.com/DustinLewisNG/status/2111632538946978054?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) a throw "into a tight window."
- Wisner ran left for 2 yards to the 28.
- On second-and-8, Daniels hit Wisner on the screen. ESPN marks the catch behind the line at the Miami 31, and Wisner took it 28 yards for the score.

Lewis [wrote](https://x.com/DustinLewisNG/status/2111632978711601347?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) that FSU "confuses Miami's defense with play-action" before the screen. Bob Ferrante [posted](https://x.com/BobFerrante/status/2111633175709442213?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io): "Mike Norvell loves screens. The screen game (absent one early drop) is on point tonight."

## How the third quarter turned

**Barker's interception.** Miami opened the second half with a nine-play drive to the FSU 28\. Then Ashlynd Barker intercepted D. Mensah in the end zone for a touchback with 10:47 left in the quarter, per ESPN. FSUFootball [called it](https://x.com/FSUFootball/status/2111629374927618455?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) Barker's fourth career interception. Wisner started the next drive with a 16-yard run, but FSU punted from its 38 four plays later.

**The stop on fourth down.** Starting at its own 8, Miami got back-to-back runs of 25 and 17 yards from J. Mallory and drove to the FSU 42\. On fourth-and-2, Mensah's pass to Mallory fell incomplete, and FSU took over on downs with 5:45 left, per ESPN. Tomahawk Nation [reported](https://x.com/TomahawkNation/status/2111632065951408447?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) that Miami "goes for it on 4th-and-2 but comes up short." Four plays later, FSU had the lead. Lewis [put it](https://x.com/DustinLewisNG/status/2111633250191814828?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) this way: "The Seminoles flip Miami's turnover on downs into a touchdown."

**Wisner with Kromah out.** With Ousmane Kromah out after a first-half injury that Noles247 and Warchant reported was to his left ankle ([our story](https://nolestandard.ghost.io/ousmane-kromah-injured-miami-left-ankle/)), Wisner has been FSU's back in the third quarter. ESPN's play-by-play shows him with runs of 16, 2 and 2 yards, plus two catches for 30 yards and the touchdown in the quarter.

**Injuries on defense.** Linebacker Omar Graham Jr. went to the locker room earlier in the quarter, Warchant reported ([our story](https://nolestandard.ghost.io/omar-graham-jr-injured-miami-locker-room/)). Defensive back Nehemiah Chandler was listed as injured on Mallory's 25-yard run, per ESPN. On Miami's next possession, Lewis [reported](https://x.com/DustinLewisNG/status/2111633805912187042?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io) that Chandler was down holding his right leg ("Might just be a cramp") and was then [assisted to the sideline](https://x.com/DustinLewisNG/status/2111633966667055485?ref=nolestandard.ghost.io). FSU has not given an update on either player.

The game was tied 14-14 at halftime ([our story](https://nolestandard.ghost.io/fsu-miami-halftime/)). Follow along on our [live blog](https://nolestandard.ghost.io/live-fsu-at-no-3-miami-updates/).
