Miami rallies to force OT, defeats Florida St.

MIAMI -- New season, new conference, same result.

Frank Gore's 18-yard touchdown run in overtime gave No. 5 Miami a 16-10 victory over No. 4 Florida State on Friday night.

The Hurricanes, playing their first game as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, extended their winning streak over the Seminoles to six games.

They won this one with defense.

The Seminoles' offense did little during regulation and even less in overtime. After a holding call put Florida State in a first-and-20, Antrel Rolle sniffed out a screen pass for an 8-yard loss. Chris Rix connected with Craphonso Thorpe for a 15-yard gain on second down, but Rix fumbled on third down and Miami's Thomas Carroll recovered.

Gore scored on Miami's second play.

The Hurricanes (1-0) scored 16 straight points in the fourth quarter after Florida State (0-1) took a 10-0 lead by capitalizing on two turnovers.

Miami also got some help from a missed field goal -- something that has defined this rivalry.

Florida State's Xavier Beitia had a 34-yarder blocked with 3:58 to play. The kick would have sealed a victory for the Seminoles. Instead, it gave Miami the ball back with a chance to tie the game.

Brock Berlin drove the Hurricanes 80 yards in five plays and 52 seconds. He connected with Sinorice Moss for a 30-yard touchdown with 30 seconds to play, and the extra point tied the game at 10.

After Miami tied the game, the Seminoles took a few shots deep, but the game went to overtime.

It was the third meeting in less than 11 months for the in-state rivals. And just like the last two, the embattled Rix did little to help Florida State.

He threw two interceptions and fumbled twice, including the crucial one in overtime. He finished 12-of-28 for 108 yards.

Florida State couldn't run the ball, either, gaining just 57 yards -- the lowest in the series since 1994.
