No. 3 Miami hosts Florida State on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, in a rivalry with a long history. The Hurricanes are 5-0 and have outscored opponents by 199 points, winning by an average of nearly 40. Miami is a 21.5-point favorite.
Florida State (3-3) enters the game under pressure. Head coach Mike Norvell has won 10 of his last 30 games at Florida State since leading the Seminoles to an ACC title in 2023. With a bye week next, the source notes that a change in leadership could come soon, particularly if Miami wins big as expected.
The all-time series favors Miami 37-33. Florida State last beat the Hurricanes in 2023. The road team has won more games than the home team in the series.
Other Florida teams play Saturday as well. South Florida (4-2) hosts Kent State at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+, after losing its past two games on late drives by Temple and UTSA. The Bulls’ offense features LSU transfer quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr., who has five touchdown passes and no interceptions.
