With 56-6 halftime score, FSU, FCS opponent agreed to 10-minute quarters in second half

After binging on a cupcake for 30 minutes, Florida State -- and said dessert -- have apparently had their fill.

Through two quarters of play, FSU spanking FCS Delaware State 56-6. The Seminoles led 21-6 at the end of the first quarter, then erupted for five second-quarter touchdowns to account for the 50-point halftime deficit for the Hornets.

During that halftime, the two sides agreed to help minimize the 2-8 FCS squad’s misery by slicing some time off the second-half play clock.

At 3-6, FSU needs to “hold on” in this game and beat in-state rival Florida in Gainesville and Louisiana-Monroe the next two weeks to become bowl-eligible. The Seminoles are trying to avoid their first bowl-less postseason since 1981.
