Former FSU quarterback turns heads with breakout performance

Former Florida State quarterback Luke Kromenhoek delivered the best performance of his college career Thursday night, accounting for more than 400 yards of offense and four touchdowns in South Florida's 52-41 loss to Memphis. Making his second consecutive start for the Bulls , Kromenhoek completed 22 of 37 passes for a career-high 271 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while adding a career-best 146 rushing yards and another touchdown on 30 carries. The former Seminole finished with 416 total yards, nearly engineering a remarkable comeback after USF fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter. Kromenhoek connected with wide receiver Mudia Reuben for two second-quarter touchdowns before finding running back Jason Collins Jr. for a 13-yard score in the third quarter. His biggest moment came late in the third quarter when he capped a 75-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown run, tying the game at 38. For Florida State fans, Kromenhoek's emergence is particularly noteworthy given his brief but intriguing stint in Tallahassee. A former four-star prospect from Savannah, Georgia, Kromenhoek signed with the Seminoles as part of their 2024 recruiting class. He appeared in six games during Florida State's disappointing 2-10 campaign, starting twice and completing 44 of 84 passes

7 Florida Seafood Buffets Where Snow Crab Legs Keep Coming Until You Tap Out

I have a firm rule about snow crab legs. If someone else is doing the steaming and the refilling, I’m not stopping at one plate. Florida has a surprising number of buffets that treat snow crab legs like a main event instead of a rare treat. One of them even pairs the crab with whole lobster, and it has been feeding hungry crowds for decades.

A Senior's Death in Florida May Be a Dengue Omen

(This content was created with the help of AI.) A senior citizen who typically walked 5 miles a day along Tampa's shoreline may be the face of a virus that's no longer just an imported problem, according to a New York Times analysis. Gay Rabb Small, who turned 80 the day she died on Sept. 4, is the sole death so far in a dengue outbreak that has sickened hundreds in Florida and is worrying disease experts who say the state's locally spread cases suggest dengue is settling in.
