Florida State tops Miami 29-24 on the shoulders of Dalvin Cook

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State needed another fourth-quarter rally to beat Miami.

Dalvin Cook ran for 222 yards and three touchdowns, the last a 23-yarder with 6:44 remaining, to help the No. 12 Seminoles Miami 29-24 on Saturday night.

The Seminoles have won six in a row against the Hurricanes, their longest winning streak in the series since winning seven straight from 1963-72.

Cook didn't practice the first part of the week due to a strained hamstring, and is also the first Florida State back to have two 200-yard games in a season since Greg Allen in 1981. Before this year, Florida State had not had a back run for more than 200 yards in a game since Sammie Smith in 1988.

Cook's 792 yards after five games are the second-most in the ACC since 1996. Maryland's Bruce Perry had 821 yards in 2001.

Florida State quarterback Everett Golson completed 25 of 33 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown. His counterpart, Brad Kaaya threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, his fifth 300-yard game and his second against the Seminoles.

Cook opened the scoring on his first carry with a 72-yard run. It was the second straight week that Cook scored a touchdown on his first carry. In a 24-16 victory at Wake Forest, Cook scored from 94 yards, which was the third-longest TD run in school history.

Trailing 17-3, Miami got back into it on Kaaya's 58-yard touchdown pass to Rashawn Scott. Scott was able to get separation from cornerback Jalen Ramsey while Lamarcus Brutus tried to go for the interception.

Next week, Miami hosts Virginia Tech, while Florida State takes on Louisville in Tallahassee.
