The rivalry between Florida State football and Miami speaks for itself.
An annual showdown between North and South Florida, FSU vs. Miami is a game that holds great significance to both programs. Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said the importance of this game week goes far beyond what happens within the white lines of the football field.
“It’s going to be emotional for everybody. Whether you’ve been there, whether you’ve ever been a part of this game or whether you’ve not,” Norvell said. “When we pull up to the stadium, it’s one of the greatest feelings that you have in sports. I love the opportunity to go into games like this.”
“On the road, it’s going to be a very hostile environment. It’s one where you work to be your best in that time. Anything that in your past, anything that you’ve ever done even up to this point of the year you still got to go apply all that you got into the 60 minutes we are going to get.”
The Seminoles enter the game 1-6, facing an undefeated Hurricanes program (7-0) that sits at No. 5 in the US LBM coaches poll and No. 6 in the AP poll. Norvell said he expects his team to “pour everything” into this week as FSU looks for a bright spot in a disastrous season.
Miami enters the game on the back of a 52-45 win over Louisville and FSU is coming off a 23-16 loss to Duke. The Hurricanes have one of the top offenses in the country and have not scored less than 35 points in a game this season.
FSU enters the game having won the last three games in the series, but Miami holds the all-time advantage with a 35-33 record.
The Seminoles do hold a better record on the road, going 21-19 when visiting Miami, however, FSU is a 21-point underdog this weekend.
