Florida State football vs. Miami is a game that needs no introduction.
Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said it is a great challenge and opportunity for FSU as they prepare for the undefeated Hurricanes (7-0). Coming off a 23-16 loss vs. Duke, the first in program history, Norvell said his team has responded well early on heading into Miami week.
In a season with very little positive, Norvell said it’s important to show up on Saturday against No. 6 Miami as these are the games players are remembered for.
“When you come into this week, it’s different. I’m not one of these coaches to say every game is the same. I love these games,” Norvell said. “I love the fact we get to be a part of it.

FSU enters the game as a 20-point underdog to Miami.
