Miami outlasts Florida State

Sports · Heat 2.1 / 10 · 4 shows · 21m airtime

Miami beat Florida State 43-35 in double overtime on October 17, 2026, surviving a late Seminoles lead in wet conditions. Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, Malachi Toney caught 11 passes for 154 yards and two scores, and Miami ran for 257 yards. The discussion credits Mike Norvell for keeping Florida State in it and faults a defender for trying to intercept rather than bat down a fourth-and-21 heave.

  1. Nightcap, 2026-10-18 (16:06 to 22:24)
    Breaks down the double-overtime Miami win
    Opens the Miami-Florida State game as its own story: the double-overtime score, Mensah's 326-yard line, Toney's 11 catches and the rain, then credits Norvell for keeping it close and faults a defender for going for the pick on fourth and 21.
    New angle: Miami beat Florida State 43-35 in double overtime.
  2. The Right Time with Bomani Jones, 2026-10-18 (26:14 to 30:05)
    Recaps the double-overtime win
    Recaps the double-overtime win and stays inside the result, with Bomani arguing Mensah and Toney are Miami's best quarterback-receiver pair since Testaverde and Irvin and predicting Cristobal will lose a game. Reaction and opinion, no new development.
  3. Josh Pate's College Football Show, 2026-10-19 (51:02 to 56:01)
    Pushes back on Florida State moral victories
    Recaps Miami's overtime win over Florida State and pushes back on the moral-victory framing around the Seminoles. Adds pressure and yardage figures but stays inside the result already on the record.
  4. The Dan Le Batard Show, 2026-10-23 (20:55 to 23:26)
    Corrects the Hail Mary claim with the interception
    Dameshek crashes the show to mock Miami as the new number one, arguing the Hurricanes lost to Florida State twice on Hail Marys. The hosts correct him: the second was an interception by Bryce Fitzgerald, and a catch would only have forced a two-point conversion.
  5. The Dan Le Batard Show, 2026-10-28 (30:53 to 34:06)
    Argues Miami was fortunate, not lucky
    Re-litigates the Miami-Florida State result, arguing Miami was fortunate rather than lucky and that the brand draws scrutiny other close wins, like Kentucky's one-point win over South Carolina, never get. Stays inside the reaction to the game.
