14 nuggets on FSU football’s historic scoring streak

Though No. 4 Florida State’s 14-game winning streak heading is impressive enough on its own, here’s a related statistic that makes it even bigger: The Seminoles have scored at least 30 points in every one of those games.

In honor of the longest such streak in the country, here are 14 nuggets on FSU’s torrid scoring stretch as the Seminoles try to keep it going at Pittsburgh.

The running back has scored 14 touchdowns (13 rushes, one reception) during this stretch. They collectively have covered 354 yards.

4. Jordan Travis does, too

The Heisman Trophy candidate has an interesting stat line. He has rushed for 11 touchdowns and passed for 31. He also caught a touchdown against Syracuse in 2022.

5. Three locals contributed

Treshaun Ward (Tampa Bay Tech), Lawrance Toafili (Pinellas Park High) and Deuce Spann (Lakewood High) have scored 10 of FSU’s touchdowns. Spann and Toafili both scored against…
