With both teams sitting at 4-4 on the year, this matchup between the rival schools will heavily impact their ultimate success for the remainder of the season — per usual.
The seasons that Miami and Florida State have had thus far are eerily similar though. Both teams lost their season openers against out-of-conference opponents, both of them ‘almost’ lost to G5 teams, and both of them have 3 conference losses — one coming against Clemson for the ‘Noles.
However, one thing Miami has done all season long is play ‘down’ to their opponent.
