Miami erases 20-point deficit to beat Florida State

N’Kosi Perry threw four touchdown passes and No. 17 Miami pulled off its biggest comeback ever against Florida State by rallying from 20 points down to top the visiting Seminoles 28-27 on Saturday night.

Brevin Jordan’s 41-yard touchdown grab with just under 12 minutes left put the Hurricanes (5-1, 2-0 ACC) ahead for good, as Miami rallied from a 27-7 second-half deficit.

The win was Miami’s first at home over Florida State (3-3, 1-3) since 2004, snapping a six-game slide in South Florida against its archrival.

“Florida State came in here and took control of this game,” Miami coach Mark Richt said. “We found a way to fight back ... somehow, we gutted it out.
