It's rivalry week and the Hurricanes look to keep their undefeated season alive while also dominating the Florida State Seminoles.
The roster for the Hurricanes is almost fully healthy as they still await the return of safety Damari Brown to help a troubled secondary. For this game, that might not be an issue because of how inconsistent the offensive side of the ball is for FSU.
