The Florida State-Louisville game on Thursday night drew the largest overnight rating of the season (3.5) for a college football telecast on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPNews. The previous high of 3.3 was set last weekend by the Ole Miss-LSU game.

According to an infographic posted to Twitter by ESPN's Keri Potts, the 3.5 ratings is ESPN's ninth-highest overnight rating for a Thursday night game since at least 2000.

The huge audience witnessed the Seminoles erase a 21-0 deficit, outscoring the Cardinals 35-10 in the second half to come away with a 42-31 win. True freshman running back Dalvin Cook raced 38 yards for a touchdown with just under four minutes remaining in the game to give the Seminoles the lead for good.
