The Florida State Seminoles will write the next chapter in their annual rivalry matchup against the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday. Despite a loss last week, the Seminoles have an opportunity to make another statement as the Hurricanes come into the game ranked No. 3 in the country.

FSU had its three-game winning streak in the series snapped last year. Head coach Mike Norvell and his team have an opportunity to remind Miami who runs the Sunshine State.

Following the contest against the Hurricanes, Florida State will remain in Doak Campbell Stadium for another conference game, hosting the Pittsburgh Panthers on Saturday, October 11.

On Monday, the ACC announced game times and television information for contests that'll take place during Week 7 (October 11).

It'll be an afternoon matchup in Tallahassee.
