Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels secured his second ACC Quarterback of the Week honor of the 2026 season following a historic offensive display against the Miami Hurricanes. In a high-stakes matchup that extended into double overtime, Daniels orchestrated a relentless attack, accounting for five total touchdowns—four via the air and one on the ground. His 298 passing yards marked his second-highest output in a Seminoles uniform, proving instrumental as FSU kept the Hurricanes honest until the final seconds of regulation and overtime.
Daniels’ 5-TD Performance Drives Seminoles to Double-Overtime Thriller Against Miami
The statistical impact of Daniels’ performance is undeniable, reinforcing his status as the conference’s premier dual-threat signal caller. He currently leads the ACC with 11 rushing touchdowns and has amassed 354 rushing yards, ranking second on the team in that category. Across seven games in the 2026 campaign, Daniels has generated nearly 2,000 total offensive yards and 23 total touchdowns. This latest recognition follows his record-setting performance two weeks prior, where he set a Florida State school record with five rushing touchdowns against the Virginia Cavaliers.
Despite the 43-35 defeat, the Seminoles’ offensive resilience remains intact, though the loss of running back Ousmane Kromah to a season-ending ankle and foot injury complicates the rushing attack. With Kromah out, Daniels’ ability to extend plays and Quintrevion Wisner’s production become critical components for FSU’s remaining schedule. The Seminoles will lean heavily on this dynamic duo to maintain their offensive tempo and compete at the highest level in the ACC.
