FSU QB Hurt: Miami Safety Ejected for Targeting

Miami safety Zechariah Poyser was ejected from the game after a late hit on Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels. The incident occurred during a play where Daniels had scrambled for a first down and then slid. Poyser's hit targeted the head area of the sliding quarterback, resulting in an immediate flag and ejection.

Daniels remained on the ground briefly and appeared shaken but was able to leave the field under his own power. After a medical evaluation, he returned to the game on Florida State's subsequent drive. The ejection significantly impacts Miami's secondary, which is already shorthanded due to other injuries. The team had already lost cornerback Bryce Fitzgerald and starting cornerback O.J. Frederique for periods, and Ja'Boree Antoine was absent for this game.
