TALLAHASSEE – Despite the best efforts of No. 19 SMU throughout Monday night to hand its 27-24 victory to Florida State, the Seminoles couldn't grasp it and ultimately fell in their ACC opener for the third straight season. The Mustangs outgained them by well over 200 yards and produced a lopsided box score that should have suggested more uneven numbers on the board.  But even with four turnovers, a missed field goal, and multiple mistakes that nearly gave Florida State the game, head coach Mike Norvell didn't have enough to steal it on a night that began with a sign of what was to come when kickoff was delayed by 100 minutes due to a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium.  Here are the eight most impactful plays – a few positive and a few negative for the Seminoles – from Monday night's loss.
