TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State seized control early and never looked back, cruising to a 34-7 win over Central Arkansas on Saturday. Quarterback Ashton Daniels threw for two touchdowns, and running back Ousmane Kromah added two more on the ground to power the Seminoles' offense.
Daniels finished the day completing 12 of 18 passes for 224 yards. He connected with Duce Robinson on a 29-yard scoring strike and later hit Jayvan Boggs for a 34-yard touchdown. Boggs, a sophomore, set career highs with six receptions and 122 receiving yards. In Florida State's first three games combined, he had managed just six catches for 118 yards.
Kromah carried the ball 11 times for 86 yards, finding the end zone on runs of 6 and 1 yard. The sophomore has now scored at least one touchdown in every game this season, totaling five on the year.
Central Arkansas avoided the shutout with a 2-yard touchdown run by Jalen Washington, who rushed for 71 yards on 18 attempts. Quarterback Donovyn Omolo completed 15 of 30 passes for 138 yards for the Bears.
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell is a Central Arkansas graduate and played alongside current Bears coach Nathan Brown for two seasons in 2004-05.
Key Analysis
Despite controlling time of possession for 39:12, Central Arkansas struggled to move the ball, managing only 248 total yards and averaging 3.6 yards per play. Meanwhile, Florida State's offense was efficient and balanced, scoring on six of its first seven possessions and averaging 8.7 yards per play.
Looking ahead, Central Arkansas has a bye week before traveling to Abilene Christian on Oct. 10. Florida State will host Virginia on Oct. 3.
