Seminoles Secure Home Advantage in Rivalry Clash with Hurricanes

As of October 5th, 2025, the Florida State Seminoles are gearing up to host their annual rivalry game against the Miami Hurricanes this Saturday. This matchup holds significant importance for both programs, as the Seminoles have won 3 of the last 4 games against their in-state rivals.

However, the Hurricanes managed to get the last laugh in 2024, defeating the Seminoles 36-14 at Hard Rock Stadium. Now, the series returns to Tallahassee, where Florida State has not lost to Miami since 2019. Head coach Mike Norvell has a 2-0 record against the Hurricanes at home, and the Seminoles will be looking to continue their recent dominance in the series.

Both teams are dealing with a few injuries heading into the highly anticipated clash. The first ACC availability report on Thursday night revealed that three players are out for the Seminoles, while five are out for the Hurricanes. Florida State also has three players listed as questionable and four others who are probable. None of the players missing for Miami were expected to play a major role this weekend.

The second availability report on Friday evening did not offer any changes for the Seminoles, but Miami added running back Girard Pringle Jr. to the report as questionable. With the injuries and the home-field advantage, the Seminoles will be aiming to secure a victory and continue their recent success against the Hurricanes.
