In this story:

Despite confidence from the team coming off a productive BYE week, the Seminoles were, once again, unable to close out a game. Although the Seminoles outgained the Blue Devils' offense, by over 100 total yards, Duke was able to score 17 unanswered points off of three consecutive turnovers from Brock Glenn. Factor in the Seminoles' handful of dropped passes as well as the nine penalties for 65 yards and this team essentially shot themselves in the foot, putting them in a position to lose.

Despite everything the Seminoles did to put themselves in a losing position, they once again proved why they might have one of the best special teams units in the country. With Alex Mastromanno placing three of four punts inside the 20, Ryan Fitzgerald going 3/4 on field goals, one of which being from 53 yards out, and Sam Singleton's kick return touchdown that put FSU back in the game. The Seminoles also successfully pulled off a fake punt.
