FSU football got its eighth win of the season by defeating Syracuse 45-14 Saturday. We check out the best photos from the historic game.

FSU football running back Dalvin Cook made history on two separate occasions Saturday. He became the FSU all-time leading rusher on a 41 yard run in the first quarter, passing Warrick Dunn who set the record 20 years ago.

Cook later became the first running back in ACC history to surpass 4,000 rushing yards in only three seasons.

Let’s check out some of the great photos from the game.
