Overview
- Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium on the ACC Network.
- Florida State sits at 4-5 after five losses in six games and needs two wins to reach a bowl, while 3-6 Virginia Tech must sweep its final three.
- FSU listed WR Jayvan Boggs as probable, RB Samuel Singleton Jr. as questionable and DB Ja’Bril Rawls as out, with Virginia Tech noting LB Gabe Williams and OL Tommy Ricard as questionable and a lengthy list of outs.
- FSU’s offense that once led the nation was limited to 360 yards and 10 points at Clemson, with QB Tommy Castellanos sacked six times and, per local reporting, affected by a leg/ankle issue that has reduced his explosiveness.
- Mike Norvell’s slide to 16 losses in his last 22 games has intensified scrutiny, Virginia Tech plays under interim coach Philip Montgomery, and local coverage suggests James Franklin is a leading candidate for the Hokies’ job though no hire is finalized.
