Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Doak S. Campbell Stadium, with television coverage on ABC.
  • Miami is 4–0 behind a top-10 scoring defense and a disruptive edge rush, and this is its first road game of the season.
  • Florida State is 3–1 after a 46–38 double-overtime loss at Virginia, pairing a nation-leading attack of about 53 points and roughly 600 yards per game with a defense that just allowed season highs.
  • Miami quarterback Carson Beck was described as scuffling in the Week 4 win over Florida and said he used the bye to work on his game, with analyst Todd McShay pointing to missed vertical throws.
  • Injury and matchup notes include FSU safety Ashlynd Barker listed as questionable, running back Roydell Williams expected to be active, and reports signaling a lagging Seminoles pass rush that Miami may target.
