LIVE UPDATES: Florida State Seminoles at Florida Gators

NoleGameday is inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to provide LIVE updates throughout the afternoon.

The Florida State Seminoles will play their final game of the regular season on the road against the Florida Gators. The Seminoles are set for a showdown in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium with a Gators team that is also battling for bowl eligibility. Florida fired head coach Dan Mullen over the weekend and will be led by interim coach Greg Knox on senior day. The winner of this game will send the other home for the offseason.

We'll be looking out for a couple of different things pregame. On Florida State's side, we'll be monitoring the status of players such as wide receiver Keyshawn Helton, offensive tackle Darius Washington, and defensive tackle Jarrett Jackson, among others. There have been rumors that Florida starting quarterback Emory Jones could be out for the game. We should have an answer on that prior to the noon kickoff.

The weather projects to be beautiful in Gainesville this afternoon. It's projected to be 60 degrees at kickoff, partly cloudy, with no rain in sight.
