On Friday night, the Florida State Seminoles suffered a 44-20 defeat at the hands of the University of Louisville Cardinals. A key moment in the game came with 9:18 left in the second quarter, when Isaac Brown of Louisville ran for a staggering 97 yards, breaking the decades-old record of Kenny Porco's 93-yard touchdown against Eastern Kentucky in 1958.
This record-breaking play was the longest run from scrimmage in FBS this season and surpassed the previous Seminoles record. Porco, a student gym teacher at the time of his MVP breakout, had a significant impact on the game, later becoming the Assistant AD and AD at the J.C.C. The Louisville victory was the result of a combined effort, with Brown's 313 total yards (17 rushes for 235 yards and a 68-yard kickoff return for 71 yards) contributing significantly.
The game showcased both teams' capabilities, with the Cardinals stumbling out of the gate but ultimately showing their strength.
