As the Miami (FL) Hurricanes prepare to face off against their long-time rivals, the Florida State Seminoles, at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

In their last outing on November 6th against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, MFL eked out a narrow victory with a scoreline of 33-30. Despite three lost fumbles and three turnovers, they managed an impressive total yardage of 563. The passing game was particularly effective; quarterback play yielded 389 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. This aerial prowess will be crucial against FSU's defense.


The rushing department also contributed significantly with 174 yards and one touchdown. However, it's worth noting that MFL's defense allowed 30 points in this close contest. They'll need to tighten up if they hope to contain FSU's offensive threats.


Looking back further to October 30th when MFL faced Pittsburgh Panthers away from home, they secured another tight win with a score of 38-34. Here again, the offense shone through despite eight penalties costing them valuable yardage. The passing attack amassed an impressive total of 426 yards while maintaining high efficiency in red zone situations.


Against North Carolina State Wolfpack on October 23rd, MFL won by just one point (31-30), showcasing resilience under pressure—a trait that will serve them well in Tallahassee.


FSU is not an opponent to take lightly; they have had their share of ups and downs but remain formidable adversaries on home turf. Their fans create an intimidating atmosphere that can unsettle even seasoned players.


MFL must leverage its offensive strengths while addressing defensive vulnerabilities exposed in recent games if they are to emerge victorious from this storied rivalry match-up.


The stage is set for November 13th at Bobby Bowden Field where kickoff is scheduled for prime time viewing at 8:30 PM EST. Fans unable or unwilling to brave the journey can catch all the action live on ESPN satellite channel number two hundred six—this is one game you won't want to miss!
