The Florida St. Seminoles had to sweat things out late in its 23-19 victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon. The Seminoles had essentially wrapped up the game in the second quarter when they scored two touchdowns in the last five minutes, but those final minutes of the game always prove to be a contest.
