With Johnny Wilson out of the lineup due to an undisclosed injury, FSU turned to multiple players on offense to make an impact. Running back Trey Benson and Keon Coleman both recorded two total touchdowns as quarterback Jordan Travis had one of his best performances of the season, completing 22/35 passes for 359 yards with three passing touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Benson ended up having a career game through the air as he caught four passes for 100 yards and one touchdown. It marked the first time that he's crossed the century mark in receiving yards. He also added 10 carries for 55 yards and another score on the ground. Benson became the first Seminole to record an 80+ yard rushing touchdown and 80+ yard receiving touchdown in program history.
Following the game, Benson was honored with the opportunity to break the rock for the third time in 2023. He's started to find more of a groove in the last couple of weeks after struggling during the first third of the season.
Keon Coleman earned the sledgehammer after scoring three touchdowns in his debut with the program against LSU. Trey Benson joined him the following week after recording a hat-trick of his own and broke another rock after rushing for 200 yards against Virginia Tech. DJ Lundy had the honor against Boston College following a performance that included an interception and a rushing touchdown. Linebacker Kalen DeLoach broke the rock after a game-changing forced fumble that he returned for a touchdown against Clemson.
Benson got another chance to swing the hammer with a 200+ yard performance in the win over Virginia Tech. Coleman joined him for another honor alongside Shyheim Brown and Adam Fuller after a total team performance in a blowout against Syracuse. Deuce Spann broke the rock after sparking FSU to a comeback win over Duke with a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown.
