Seminole Classics | FSU Football vs Michigan (Orange Bowl) 12/30/16 - a podcast by Florida State Seminoles

No. 11 Florida State took the short trip south to Miami to take on 6th ranked Michigan in the 2016 Orange Bowl on December 30th, 2016.

FSU jumped out to a 17-3 lead after the first quarter and led at the half 20-6. The Wolverines, however, would respond in the second half.

Michigan cut the FSU lead down to 20-15 after three quarters and took their first lead of the game 30-27 with just 1:57 remaining. But Deondre Francois would march the 'Noles 4-plays and 34 yards as he found Nyquan Murray for a 12-yard strike with :36 left to put the Seminoles in front 33-32 (extra point was blocked and returned by the Wolverines for 2 points).

In those final 30 seconds, FSU defensive back Carlos Becker III intercepted Michigan QB Wilton Speight to preserve the one-point win. The victory capped off a 10-3 season and snapped a 2-game bowl skid for FSU.

Join the Voice of the Seminoles Gene Deckerhoff, William 'Bar-None' Floyd, and our entire Seminole Sports Network crew as you relive Florida State's 2016 Orange Bowl victory over the Michigan Wolverines.
