UVA Aims for Rare Doak Upset vs. FSU
2 Oct
Summary
- Florida State hosts Virginia on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium.
- Virginia boasts a top-tier defense, allowing minimal passing yards.
- FSU seeks momentum after a mixed start to their season.
Florida State is set to host the Virginia Cavaliers at Doak Campbell Stadium this Saturday for a key ACC contest. This marks the first meeting between the two teams at Doak Campbell Stadium since 2014. Virginia enters the game with a highly-regarded defense, ranking fifth nationally in fewest passing yards allowed per game and 14th in total defense.
FSU, currently 2-2 on the season, is looking to build momentum after a recent win. Their offense, while capable of explosive plays, has shown inconsistency. The Seminoles' defense has also faced challenges, allowing a significant number of total and passing yards per game. Virginia, on the other hand, boasts an efficient offense led by quarterback Beau Pribula.
This matchup represents a significant opportunity for Florida State to establish a stronger footing in ACC play. The Cavaliers, however, will be aiming to secure a rare road victory in Tallahassee, having won at Doak Campbell Stadium only once previously in 2011. The game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN2.
