US EditionStanford Stops Florida State in Final Play to Seal Win
Stanford overcame key injuries and limited Florida State's high-powered offense to 13 points, winning as 17.5-point underdogs with a goal line stop on an untimed down.
- Yesterday, Stanford's defense tackled Florida State running back Gavin Sawchuk inches from the goal line, and a replay review upheld the call, sealing a 20-13 Stanford Cardinal football team victory.
- After injuries sidelined starters, Stanford's Ben Gulbranson suffered a leg injury and Florida State's Tommy Castellanos was ejected for targeting after a concussion hit.
- Kevin Sperry's 53-yard completion set up Florida State at the Stanford 9 with two seconds left, followed by a pass-interference penalty on Stanford in the end zone that moved the ball to the 2 for an untimed down.
- The upset improved Stanford Cardinal's record to 3-4 overall and 3-0 at Stanford's stadium, matching last seasons' wins under interim coach Frank Reich who praised the defense.
- Florida State's loss deepened their ninth straight conference defeat, with coach Mike Norvell now facing scrutiny and a $58.6 million buyout as they prepare to host Wake Forest on Nov. 1.
