No. 3 Miami beat archrival Florida State 43-35 in double overtime on Saturday night in Miami Gardens. Quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, and the last one, a 3-yard pass to Malachi Toney, came in the second overtime.
Toney caught 11 passes for 154 yards and two scores. He also threw a 2-point conversion pass to Cooper Barkate after his overtime touchdown. Javian Mallory rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns for the Hurricanes, who improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Florida State, now 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the ACC, got 298 passing yards and four touchdowns from Ashton Daniels. Duce Robinson caught two late scores, including a 75-yard touchdown that tied the game with 2:49 left in regulation.
The game ended on a play that drew a review. Bryce Fitzgerald intercepted a pass in the end zone on the final play, and officials ruled he had control of the ball. Earlier, a fourth-and-21 throw by Florida State was wiped out by a holding penalty.
Florida State lost its top rusher, Ousmane Kromah, to a left leg injury late in the first half. The Seminoles next host Clemson on Oct. 31. Miami hosts Pitt on Oct. 24.
