Florida State finally avoids a disaster by turning a QB sneak into a 42-yard gain

Florida State fans likely breathed a sigh of relief after a seemingly routine quarterback sneak nearly unraveled in the worst way possible.

FSU’s season has been so bad that nothing is seemingly safe. Just last week, they executed what might have been the ugliest field goal I’ve ever seen. And this week, they nearly botched a quarterback sneak. I shouldn’t be surprised, but yet, somehow, I still am.

Early in the second quarter against Miami, FSU wanted to go for it on fourth-and-one. The exchange between the center and quarterback Luke Kromenhoek was bobbled, but somehow — football gods were seemingly showing mercy — Kromenhoek squeezed out of the pile of players and hit a 42-yard scamper. INCREDIBLE.

Never stop moving!
