Updates to the weather forecast and the betting lines are noted below.
The Miami Hurricanes come into the annual clash with the Florida State Seminoles after a disastrous 20-6 loss to North Carolina State. How will the Canes react when they head to Tallahassee, Fla. to play the Noles?
Florida State, meanwhile, is riding high with the College Football Playoff ranking of #4. Their last triumph would be the 24-7 victory at Pittsburgh.
While Jordan Travis and FSU will be the favorite, do not count out Miami rallying and finding a way to win. That's the nature of college football. Here's the game day information for the Hurricanes at the Seminoles.

Injury News: This will be a game in which several players for each team hope to get back to full health. For the Seminoles, elite wide receivers Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman were wearing street clothes on the sidelines against Pittsburgh this past Saturday. The expectation is that both will play versus Miami (as of Monday). In total, FSU is looking to get five wide receivers back to healthy, or at least close to it. There's also an important player to learn more about along the offensive line.
There's nothing new to report about FSU left tackle Robert Scott. Being the left tackle, however, he's a key cog for the Noles' running game and keeping quarterback Jordan Travis healthy in pass protection. If he does not play, Miami's pass rush with 30 sacks, ranked 10th nationally, could be more likely to reach Travis and cause havoc overall. Miami is not without players who have been banged up either.
Of note, cornerback Daryl Porter, Jr. left the North Carolina State game with a lower leg injury. He collided with a NC State player and was essentially leg-whipped in the shin. Porter was carried off the field and there's no specific injury news yet, but he's a key cornerback for a unit that's been struggling to give up big passing plays anyway. Miami is allowing 222.2 yards through the air, 54th in the nation.
Before the NC State contest, Miami lost talented defensive end Nyjalik Kelly for the season with a leg injury. Plus, tight end Elijah Arroyo is not someone that the Canes used versus the Wolfpack. He is coming off a knee injury from the 2022 season, and while he has played this season, it's unknown if his current status is related or if he's going to play versus Florida State. Miami's running back room is interesting, too.
Even with Mark Fletcher, Jr. establishing himself as the lead running back against NC State with 115 yards rushing, backup Ajay Allen did not see action and it's unknown what his injury status is. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the normal starter at running back, Henry Parrish, Jr., only carried 3 times for 15 yards against the Wolfpack. He should be well rested and ready to go against the Seminoles.
Overall, there are a lot of Canes and Noles that are nursing injuries, so AllHurricanes will update the injury report as information if and when it becomes available.
Miami Versus Florida State Series History: Every final score can be found here.
Recently, Miami won four consecutive games from 2017 through 2020, but Florida State captured the 2021 and 2022 contests.
All-time, Miami leads the series versus Florida State by a tally of 35-32. Ironically, while both teams went against each other for years, each school began to earn big-time success at about the same time.
The Hurricanes and the Seminoles both got their programs rolling during the late 1970s and early 1980s. For the Hurricanes, it was famous head coach Howard Schnellenberger (1979-1983) who brought in the talent and the assistant coaching staff to Coral Gables that provided the first national title in 1983.
For FSU, it was legendary head coach Bobby Bowden (1976-2009) who helped FSU to prominence, and his assistant coaching staff was one of the most loyal in college football history. While Bowden was the long-time headman in Tallahassee, the Canes saw three consecutive head coaches win a national title before Bowden claimed his first with the Seminoles in 1993.
Winning championships for the Canes was the aforementioned Schnellenberger in 1983, then Jimmy Johnson (1984-1988) in 1987, and Dennis Erickson (1989-1994) in 1989 and 1991.
Bowden also had his one and only undefeated national title in 1999. In 2001, Miami received "One for the thumb" with arguably the greatest college team ever under former head coach Larry Coker (2001-2006).
There have been many memorable matchups and final moments between the Canes and Noles. Perhaps the best was the now famous "Wide Right" game in 1991. FSU kicker Gerry Thomas pushed his attempt just to the outside of the upright, and the famous video of Bowden asking for clarification because he thought the kick was good. The play took place with less than a minute remaining, and Miami won 17-16.
The Hurricanes went on to win a share of the 1991 national title, claiming the AP Poll, while Washington was declared the coaches poll winner. Two seasons later, it was FSU getting revenge on the Canes, winning 28-10 en route to Charlie Ward claiming the Heisman Trophy and the Noles getting their first championship.
Through the course of the 1980s, Miami won seven of 10, and in the 1990s, FSU won six and Miami four. Those were the two decades that truly set this rivalry up to be must-watch television.
