The first week of the high school football playoffs has arrived; plus, Miami heads to Florida State for an ACC rivalry showdown
It’s one of two games Florida State football head coach Mike Norvell said he talks about year-round. The Seminoles take on rival Miami at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium in their 68th meeting. Keep scrolling for updates, and remember to refresh the page for the latest.
While the Hurricanes have a 35-32 edge in rivalry, the Seminoles have won the last two meetings.
The 2021 victory, which broke a four-game losing skid, is now known as the “fourth and 14” game, where quarterback Jordan Travis would convert on fourth and long in the game’s final minute, eventually leading to the winning touchdown.
Last season, FSU upended Miami on the road in a 42-point win, the second-largest margin of victory in the rivalry. The Seminoles are coming off a 24-7 win over Pittsburgh, clinching a spot in the ACC Championship Game while playing without star wide receivers Keon Coleman and Johnny Wilson, both of whom will be back today.
Miami lost to NC State, 20-6, falling to ninth in the ACC standings and 6-3 on the year.
