WATCH: Lawrance Toafili Scores First Touchdown Of 2023 ACC Championship

The Florida State Seminoles and Louisville Cardinals are in a defensive slugfest in the ACC Championship.

The Florida State Seminoles, after dealing with Jordan Travis missing the rest of the season, are down to their third-string quarterback. Brock Glenn is starting as Tate Rodemaker was ruled out just before the game due to a concussion.

This resulted in the Seminoles not being able to do much on offense early in the contest. Not being able to score the ball -- or even move it for that matter -- has been an issue, but the defense has backed the offense up by allowing just three points to Louisville.

Just before the ACC Championship kicked off, when Rodemaker was ruled out, the Cardinals became favorites over Florida State in some sports books. 

Still, over midway through the third quarter, Lawrance Toafili got the Seminoles on the board with a touchdown. Tied 3-3, the Seminoles went to the wildcat formation with Toafili, who broke away for a 73-yard rush to get them in scoring position. 

A play later, also in wildcat formation, Toafili punched in a touchdown to give the Seminoles a 10-3 lead. 

While running the wildcat formation isn't a feasible option for the rest of the game, it's a good option for the Seminoles as they struggle to move the ball, but it could also help open the field up for Brock Glenn as he navigates his first career start.

Florida State leads 10-3 in the final stages of the third quarter as the program pursues an ACC Championship.
