FSU football defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies by a score of 39-17 on Saturday afternoon in the friendly confines of Doak Campbell Stadium. This marks the first of a three-game home stand against the likes of Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Duke.

Doak Campbell Stadium was announced as a sell out for Saturday’s contest against the Hokies.

•Disclaimer: The arch-rival Miami Hurricanes can never understand that feeling of witnessing a pack-out stadium, especially not after they were defeated in an embarrassing last-second fashion at home to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (who lost to Bowling Green the week prior- yes, that Bowling Green) by a score by 23-20.

While the Hokies’ contest was played at 3:30 p.m., Florida State announced that their next home game against the Syracuse Orange on Saturday, October 14th will be televised on ABC at 12:00 p.m. The Orange were throttled by quarterback Drake Maye and the North Carolina Tar Heels by a score of 40-7.

In this article, I want to highlight my thoughts on the noon kickoff for the Seminoles’ contest against the Orange.
