Michael Dyer rushed for 134 yards and a career-high three touchdowns for Louisville (6-3, 4-3), which saw its 22-game home winning streak under coach Bobby Petrino halted. Gerod Holliman picked off two passes to tie Anthony Floyd’s single-season school record of 10 interceptions while Will Gardner threw for a personal-best 330 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

James Burgess intercepted Winston after Dyer scored from 4 yards out early in the second quarter and Dyer paid it off moments later with a 12-yard TD run before Holliman picked off another pass and Gardner connected with Gerald Christian on an 11-yard score to make it 21-0. O'Leary fell on top of Karlos Williams’ fumble in the end zone with 33 seconds left in the first half to get the Seminoles on the board before intermission.

Florida State scored twice in a span of 3:34 in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 24-21 on Winston’s 68-yard heave to Travis Rudolph and Dalvin Cook’s 40-yard sprint. Winston gave the Seminoles their first lead with 12:48 remaining when he threaded a pass in between three defenders to Ermon Lane for a 47-yard touchdown and Florida State answered Dyer’s 1-yard plunge just under 3½ minutes later with Cook’s 38-yard gallop and Freddie Stevenson’s 35-yard TD catch.
