Keelon Russell - Huge day in offensive explosion Russell completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 50-36 victory over Florida State. He also had three rushes for 56 yards with one touchdown.

Impact After rough start to the game with three straight punts Russell was the catalyst for an offensive outburst that went for over 600 total yards. This looked to be a turning point game for Russell after a less than stellar outing a week ago. Russell's decision making looked to be a lot quicker and he was able to make big plays both with his arm and legs. Russell broke off a 57-yard touchdown run, showing off his speed and leaving the Seminole defenders in the dust while also connecting for long touchdowns of 46 yards and 21 yards to Ryan Coleman-Williams and Cederian Morgan.
