Florida State (3-3, 1-2 ACC) visits No. 3 Miami (5-0, 3-0) at 7 p.m. tonight at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Tom Hart (play-by-play), Roddy Jones (analyst) and Quint Kessenich (sideline) call it on ESPN, per FSU Wire. Miami was a 21.5-point favorite earlier in the week, per Tomahawk Nation. As of Saturday afternoon, the line had moved to Miami -19.5 with an over/under of 56.5 at DraftKings, per ESPN.

The stakes

FSU has lost 11 straight road games, the Tallahassee Democrat noted, and has not won a regular-season road game since beating Florida on Nov. 25, 2023, per ESPN. The Seminoles come off a 44-20 loss at Louisville. Norvell's review of that game.

The matchup

Miami leads the nation at 49.8 points and 554.8 yards per game, and quarterback Darian Mensah has 15 touchdown passes without a turnover, per the Democrat. FSU's defense ranks 122nd in yards allowed. Weather could be sloppy, Warchant noted.

Who's out

FSU lists nine players out, including RB Samuel Singleton Jr. and LB Blake Nichelson. Full availability report.
