FSU Football Announces Uniform Combination For Virginia Cavaliers Game

The Florida State Seminoles are kicking off October with a conference game against the Virginia Cavaliers. This is Virginia's first trip to Tallahassee in over a decade. The Cavaliers are 1-9 in Doak Campbell Stadium, with the only victory coming back in 2011.

Both teams have only played 1 conference game. Virginia defeated North Carolina State in Week 0, while the Seminoles fell 27-24 to SMU on Labor Day.

Through the first month of the season, the Seminoles have been shaky at best. If Florida State doesn't get it together, the wheels could fall off quickly with Virginia, Louisville, Miami, and Clemson coming up.

FSU is considered a slight underdog entering the matchup against Virginia. Everyone remembers the 2025 matchup where the Cavaliers pulled off a double-overtime victory that resulted in the disappearance of Squirrel White as fans stormed the field.

Following that game, Virginia went on to appear in the ACC Championship, while Florida State finished 2-6 and missed the postseason over its final eight outings.

A similar path is on the table if the Seminoles can't pull out a victory in front of a home crowd that is growing more restless by the week.
