Florida State was able to keep Charleston Southern out of the end zone for 59 minutes. The only score came in garbage time against a mixture of walk-ons and true freshmen. Florida State only allowed 4/12 third down conversions and 275 yards of total offense. Three of those conversions came on the final two drives.

In front of a homecoming crowd of 43,711, the Noles produced their best offensive output of the year – by far – beating the Charleston Southern Bucs 41-7.

The Seminoles (2-9) have started three quarterbacks and nine offensive-line combinations this fall, and they came into Saturday with the nation’s worst scoring offense (13.3 points).

Florida State snapped its losing streak in dominant fashion on Saturday afternoon with a 41-7 victory against Charleston Southern. The Seminoles entered the game as heavy favorites and delivered a much-needed victory to the program and fanbase with only the season-finale against Florida left on the schedule.

Florida State football coach Mike Norvell saw the promises of what his team could be next year - and a victory to show for it. While the 41-7 homecoming win Saturday over a 1-11 Charleston Southern may not mean as much as the Seminoles improved to 2-9, Norvell placed his young talents on display at Doak Campbell Stadium.
