Florida State is off to an explosive start to the 2025 season, following up a season-redefining win over Alabama to kick off the year with back-to-back 700-yard performances in blowout games against East Texas A&M and Kent State.
Just what does that production look like? Below, find a look at FSU’s stats through three games including overall team stats, individual numbers and team and player grades from PFF.
FSU vs. Kent State: Postgame notes
- No. 7 Florida State improved to 3-0 in 2025 with a 66-10 win over Kent State Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU is now 3-0 for the 32nd time in program history.
- With the win, FSU is now 12-0 all-time against teams from Ohio, 8-0 all-time against current MAC teams and 11-2-1 all-time when ranked No. 7 in the AP poll.
- In six years at FSU, head coach Mike Norvell is now 29-1 when scoring at least 30 points and 20-2 when holding opponents to 20 points or fewer. Norvell improved to 29-13 when his teams have at least eight days to prepare for an opponent.
- FSU’s 143 points scored over the last two games (77 vs. East Texas A&M) are the most in a two-game span in program history. FSU’s 144-point margin of victory through the first three games of a season is the 2nd-largest in school history.
- Florida State set school records with 498 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns and 27 rushing first downs. FSU’s 37 first downs were the most for the Noles since 1995 (38 vs. NC State).
- FSU’s 775 yards of total offense were the 3rd-most in program history and the most since FSU had 797 yards vs. Duke in 1995. The school record is 886 yards vs. Maryland in 1992.
- Florida State led 35-7 after the first quarter, matching the school record for points in a quarter (8 times, most recently in second quarter vs. Delaware State in 2017).
- FSU ran for 285 yards and threw for 239 yards in the first half. The Noles’ 524 yards in the first half are the most nationally for any half this season.
- Quarterback Tommy Castellanos was 10-for-13 passing for 205 yards and added 54 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. With five consecutive scoring drives to begin Saturday’s game, Castellanos led FSU to 12 consecutive touchdown drives (not including end-of-game kneels) spanning the Alabama, East Texas A&M and Kent State games.
- Castellanos scored multiple rushing touchdowns for the fourth time in his career. His 17-yard run late in the first quarter was his longest at Florida State.
- Receiver Micahi Danzy had 176 total yards on just three touches in the first quarter. Danzy caught passes of 47 and 65 yards and scored a touchdown on a 64-yard run. Those are the three longest plays of Danzy’s career.
- Danzy’s three touchdowns in 2025 have come on runs of 32, 53 and 64 yards. His 64-yard run vs. Kent State was FSU’s longest since the 2023 ACC Championship Game (Lawrance Toafili 73-yard run).
- Danzy is the first Seminole in program history with a 60-yard run and reception in the same game.
- Danzy’s 112 receiving yards were a career-high and his first 100-yard receiving game. FSU has had a 100-yard receiver in consecutive games (Duce Robinson, 173 vs. East Texas A&M).
- Running back Gavin Sawchuk scored two more touchdowns in the first quarter and leads FSU with six total touchdowns. Sawchuk broke off a 40-yard run – his longest as a Nole – and led FSU with 97 rushing yards, all in the first half.
- Danzy and Sawchuk have both scored rushing touchdowns in each of FSU’s three games in 2025.
- Saturday was FSU’s third consecutive game with at least 230 rushing yards and at least four rushing touchdowns. That ties a school record for consecutive games reaching those numbers, joining the 1995 and 1949 teams that also accomplished the feat in their first three games of the season.
- Running back Samuel Singleton Jr. scored two rushing touchdowns, his first career multi-TD game. Singleton’s first offensive touchdown came last week vs. East Texas A&M.
- Cornerback Jerry Wilson intercepted Kent State late in the second quarter. He is the first Seminole with interceptions in consecutive games since Jarrian Jones against Miami and North Alabama in 2023.
- FSU finished with 6.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks. FSU’s 14-game streak with 5.0 TFL is the longest at FSU since 2003-06 (42 games).
- Defensive coordinator Tony White’s defenses have not allowed a rushing touchdown in 10 consecutive games (all seven at Nebraska in 2024, all three at FSU in 2025).
- FSU held Kent State to 43 rushing yards, the fewest by an FSU defense since Nov. 13, 2021, when the Seminoles held Miami to 43 rushing yards in a 31-28 victory.
