The Miami Hurricanes will travel to Doak Campbell Stadium to face the undefeated Florida State Seminoles in an ACC showdown. The Seminoles have just won two ACC games in a row and look to make it a third Saturday night. The Hurricanes will look to put their loss against Cincinnati behind them, as this is their first conference game.
This Saturday night matchup features a ton of talent, and a reported seven NFL teams are sending scouts to the game. Florida State is led by senior transfer quarterback Everett Golson, who has been solid on the field. Golson has thrown for 786 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
Behind Golson is star running back Dalvin Cook, who is on a tear this season, averaging 8.6 yards per carry. Cook suffered a hamstring injury last week against Wake Forest but practiced Thursday and will likely start. The sophomore running back has six touchdowns in four games this season and will look to get in the endzone Saturday night.
While the Seminoles offense is loaded with talent, their defense has some star players as well. Junior defensive back Jalen Ramsey is one of the best at his position in the country. Ramsey has 14 combined tackles this season and can stop both the pass and the run.
Ramsey will look to hold Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya in check Saturday night. The Hurricanes sophomore quarterback has played well at times this season but struggled against Cincinnati in his last outing. Kaaya has thrown five touchdowns to one interception this season and will likely look to improve on his numbers against the Seminoles.
The Hurricanes also have a sophomore running back in Joseph Yearby, who is having a breakout season. Yearby is averaging 7.3 yards per carry, and has already scored three more touchdowns then he did his freshman year with four. Head coach Al Golden will likely look to get Yearby carries early, as the Hurricanes will look to control time of possession.
This Saturday Florida matchup could have a major impact on how the ACC standings turnout. Florida State has won the ACC the past three years under head coach Jimbo Fisher, and a win against the Hurricanes will get them one step closer. Miami would like nothing more then to end the Seminoles reign over the ACC, and a win on Saturday could be a big turning point for their program.
