DJ Uiagalelei was 12-for-30 for 222 yards and had three interceptions and the Seminoles gained just 75 yards on 26 attempts, averaging 2.9 yards per carry, to drop to 1-4.

The SMU Mustangs made a strong first impression as they returned to big-time college football after a long hiatus. They kicked off ACC play against the Florida State Seminoles who had recently secured their first win of the season against the California Golden Bears last weekend.

Southern Methodist University celebrated the start of conference play in its inaugural ACC season by upsetting Florida State and head coach Mike Norvell.

The stage was set for a big night at Ford Stadium. Under the lights in SMU’s ACC debut against the reigning conference champions, the Mustangs had a chance to make a statement in front of their new conference.
