Third-string QB Luke Kromenhoek threw a first quarter interception and fell behind early against Georgia Tech before rallying behind fourth-string running back Caziah Holmes. What was known, was that running back Lawrence Toafili would be serving the first of his 4-game suspension. What was not known, was that QB DJ Uiagalelei would be a healthy scratch. Backup Brock Glenn would remain just that, the backup. And Alabama transfer running back Roydell Williams would also miss the trip to Atlanta leaving Florida State with 2 scholarship running backs.
Holmes scored 4 touchdowns and gained 210 all-purpose yards, including 164 yards rushing in first career start. 150 of Holmes 210 yards were combined YAC/RAC as he ran through, over and around defenders all day. The Florida State offensive line combined for 28 pancake blocks, paving the way for a memorable season opener.
The Seminole defensive line harassed Georgia Tech in the trenches with 9 TFL, including 5 sacks. QB Haynes King's tough performance and 5 touchdown throws was marred by his 3 interceptions as he was pressured for much of the afternoon.
