Florida State University (FSU) secured its first win of the season with a 14-9 victory over the University of California (Cal). The game saw FSU trailing 7-9 at the end of the third quarter but a 36-yard touchdown pass from DJ Uiagalelei to Ja'Ki Douglas in the fourth quarter sealed the win. The Seminoles' defense was instrumental, preventing Cal from scoring a touchdown despite five red-zone trips and recording seven sacks. Adam Fuller’s defensive strategy and Edwin Joseph’s crucial sack on fourth down were key factors. This victory ends FSU's four-game losing streak dating back to last season and improves their record to 1-3. Cal's offensive struggles, including penalties and missed field goals, contributed to their defeat.
