Kentron Poitier's Nasty Move Finally Nets Florida State A Touchdown

The Seminoles finally scored their first touchdown of the night in the third quarter.

To say the very least, it hasn't been a pretty showing from the Seminoles during their home opener on Monday night. Florida State has trailed Boston College for much of the evening while not providing much inspiration on offense or defense.

The first seven drives of the night resulted in four punts, two field goals, and an interception, leading for fans to loudly chant "We want Brock" in Doak Campbell Stadium. Despite the pressure from the Seminole faithful, head coach Mike Norvell remained steadfast with starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei at the helm.

The move finally paid off late in the third quarter as the offense finally cashed in. It didn't come without some trickery as Florida State pulled off a double pass from Kam Davis to DJ Uiagalelei to Kentron Poitier for 29 yards.

On the very next play, Uiagalelei found Poitier again, this time on the opposite side of the field. Poitier broke off one tackle before juking another defender. Suddenly, there was plenty of open space in front of him as the veteran wide receiver scampered into the end zone for Florida State's first touchdown of the night.
