CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just before kickoff, it was revealed that Brock Glenn would step in at quarterback for FSU, replacing Tate Rodemaker, who was listed as "50/50" due to a head injury sustained against the Gators.

With neither Jordan Travis nor Tate Rodemaker available, freshman Brock Glenn made his debut start in what became the most significant game of his career thus far.

The game remained at a super-low score of 3-0 for an extended period, spanning the entire first half and much of the third.

In the waning moments of the third quarter, FSU secured their first touchdown.

The victory against Louisville sealed the Seminoles' undefeated season, boasting a perfect 13-0 record. They now set their sights on securing one of the coveted spots in the College Football Playoff, where only four teams receive invitations.

Per Bleacher Report, FSU holds a strong chance at securing a place in the CFP. However, controversy looms after Texas' victory over Oklahoma State. With Alabama losing to Texas and Texas losing to Oklahoma, the playoff picture remains murky, leaving uncertainties about the final invitations.

FSU ultimately prevailed against Louisville, securing their first ACC title since 2014 and the fifth in school history.
