Miami Hurricanes meet Florida State for unique 2020 installment of classic rivalry

Different years bring different kinds of matchups of the classic rivalry between the Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles.

Known mostly, of course, for the installments when both teams are elite — and some missed field goals — some years one team is up while the other is down, and sometimes both are only a fraction of their former self.

The trademark atmosphere this series brings every year won’t nearly be the same. Playing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Hard Rock Stadium will be limited to 13,000 fans — about one-fifth of stadium capacity — when No. 12 Miami (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) hosts Florida State (0-1, 0-1) on Saturday night.
