FSU football: Which announcers will call Duke game?

No. 4 FSU football will be back in action Saturday night in a primetime matchup against the No. 17 Duke Blue Devils.

It will be their third consecutive sellout in front of the home crowd at Doak Campbell Stadium.

The Noles will air on ABC once again this week, and will bring the broadcasting team many fans associate with big-time football.

The broadcast trio will be Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Holly Rowe.

Home games at night in Doak Campbell Stadium always feel different, especially when it’s against a ranked opponent in primetime.

Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler have done many games like this together, and Herbstreit always seems to capture the essence of what FSU football means to college football, especially when they’re among the top programs in the country.

That hadn’t been the case in recent years, and Herbstreit voiced that sentiment in the 2022 opener against LSU, describing FSU as a program looking to reclaim its place among the elite. Here we are 19 games later, and FSU is undefeated and ranked No. 4 nationally with a great chance to win the ACC and make the College Football Playoff for the first time since 2014.

FSU will have a ton of big-time recruits visiting for this game, which should pay dividends. However, those recruits who couldn’t make the trip will get a sense of what the atmosphere is like from this announcing crew.

FSU is a double-digit betting favorite against the Blue Devils, whose lone loss came against Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago, as they were one tackle away from the win.

However, they’ll likely be without starting QB Riley Leonard, who got injured at the end of that game. That’s one reason the betting odd favor the Noles that much, plus it’s a home game. If Leonard plays he could be susceptible to making the injury worse, which could jeopardize Duke’s chances against North Carolina and Louisville.

I’m sure that will be a talking point in the broadcast if he doesn’t play, but it should be an electric atmosphere that projects through the TV for those watching at home.
