The Florida State Seminoles will play their ninth game of the 2025 season when they travel to face the Clemson Tigers in Death Valley on Saturday night.

The Seminoles finally ended their skid last weekend, coming out of the BYE week with a purpose in a 42-7 victory against Wake Forest. With four games remaining in the regular season, FSU still has an opportunity to qualify for a bowl game.

Clemson has had a season to forget. After entering the season in the top-5, the Tigers have compiled a 3-5 record and are in serious danger of missing a bowl game for the first time in head coach Dabo Swinney's time with the program.

Last weekend, the Tigers scored a season-high 45 points. However, Clemson was defeated by Duke, 46-45. Swinney's team is only 1-4 at home, which is unheard of in one of the toughest venues in the country.

With less than 48 hours remaining until kickoff, Florida State is relatively healthy.

The week off to conclude October gave the Seminoles time to heal and reset. The majority of the lineup was available against Wake Forest.

However, redshirt senior linebacker Stefon Thompson, junior defensive back Donny Hiebert, redshirt sophomore linebacker Caleb LaVallee, true freshman wide receiver Jayvan Boggs, and true freshman tight end Chase Loftin were all sidelined.

All five players have appeared on the two-deep at different junctures of the season. Thompson and Boggs have both started multiple games for Florida State.

On Thursday evening, the ACC released its first availability report for the game. The report will be updated on Friday and two hours before kickoff on Saturday.

Florida State will only have to release these reports for conference games.
