The Seminoles held the Terrapins to 34 rushing yards in a 41-14 win on Saturday that clinched a spot in the conference championship game for Florida State.

Florida State (10-1) got off to a fast start, putting up 14 unanswered points in the first quarter, highlighted by a Nick O’Leary touchdown catch from EJ Manuel. The Seminoles quarterback completed 17 of 23 passes for 144 yards and two scores.

Meanwhile, the Terrapins (4-7) had difficulty moving the ball against the Florida State defense. They managed only 170 total yards and turned the ball over twice.

Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins moved into first place on the all-time FBS points list with his second quarter field goal.
