Miami Hurricanes at Florida State: Live Streaming and Game Info
Postponed from three weeks ago, the Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles will resume their rivalry on Saturday at 3:30 PM ET at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
Miami comes into the game 3-0 and Florida State 1-2. The Seminoles are trying to extend a seven-year winning streak against Miami.
The Miami Hurricanes have started the season with wins over Bethune-Cookman, Toledo and Duke. The Hurricanes had a three-week layoff between the victory over Bethune and Toledo caused by Hurricane Irma.
Having to vacate the University of Miami campus, the Hurricanes did not even practice for ten days. The offense was a bit rusty in the victory over Toledo.
They trailed 16-10 at halftime. The last three halves they have been explosive. Miami has scored 73 points in the last three halves they’ve played. That comes out to 48.3 points per game.
The defense finally showed their strength in the win over Duke. Miami had six sacks for 36 yards and 18 tackles for loss in the win over Blue Devils. Expected to be the strength of the Hurricanes before the season, its the offense that’s carried Miami so far.

Coaches
Miami: Mark Richt (Miami, 1982) | CAREER: 157-55 (17th season) | AT MIAMI: 21-4 (second)
Florida State: Jimbo Fisher (Salem International University, 1989), 8 Years, 79-19
Jimbo Fisher has never lost to the Miami Hurricanes. The seven-game winning streak against the Hurricanes has occurred during the entirety of the Fisher tenure.
Mark Richt is 1-1 all-time against Florida State. He lost his first appearance to the Seminoles as the Miami Hurricanes coach last year. He defeated his mentor Bobby Bowden in the 2003 Sugar as the Head Coach at Georgia.
Miami has a few injuries and a suspension that will and can impact the game.
| Dayall Harris | Out | Suspension | Harris has been suspended three games for violating team rules and is eligible to return October 21 against Syracuse. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Burns | Questionable | Shoulder | Burns has missed the last three games with a shoulder injury and his status for Saturday’s game against Florida State is unclear. |
| Evidence Njoku | Questionable | Knee | Njoku has missed the last three games with a hyperextended knee and his status for Saturday’s contest against Florida State is unclear. |
| Mark Walton | Probable | Ankle | Walton is expected to play Saturday against Florida State despite an ankle injury. |
Wide receiver Dayall Harris is serving the second of a three-game suspension. He will also miss the Georgia Tech game next week.
Freshman Running Back Robert Burns has yet to play a game this season. Because of Miami’s lack of depth at running back, it seems unlikely he will redshirt.
Wide receiver Evidence Njoku seems like the perfect candidate to redshirt this season. Miami is loaded at wide receiver. He is not likely to get much playing time even if healthy.
Florida State’s injury list is much more significant. The Seminoles are also without quarterback Dondre Francois. The Sophomore signal caller was lost for the season in the opener against Alabama.
The other big name on the list is wide receiver, Auden Tate. Tate caught the game-winning touchdown late again, t Wake Forest last week.
| Da’Vante Phillips | Out | Suspension | Phillips has been suspended for an undetermined amount of time due to an off-field incident. |

| Carlos Becker | Questionable | Ankle | Becker III has been absent from the lineup for three straight games with an ankle injury and his status is uncertain against Miami on Saturday. |
| Ro’Derrick Hoskins | Questionable | Neck | Hoskins is battling a neck injury and it is undetermined if it will prevent him from playing Saturday against Miami. |
| Brady Scott | Questionable | Foot | Scott is recovering from a broken foot and has yet to play this season. It is unclear if he will be ready to make his debut against Miami on Saturday. |
| Delvin Purifoy | Questionable | Ankle | Purifoy has missed three straight games with an ankle injury and it is unknown if he will take part in the game against Miami on Saturday. |
| Malique Jackson | Questionable | Hamstring | Jackson was inactive in the last two games due to an injured hamstring and his availability against Miami on Saturday is unclear. |
