and both teams deserve the chance to play their 12th game of the season. Any time
we have the opportunity to play in Doak Campbell Stadium in front of our fans we are

鈥淥ur student-athletes and coaches are looking forward to playing Florida State on
Dec. 2,鈥� 网曝门 Athletics Director Nick Floyd said. 鈥淲e deeply appreciate the cooperation
of all parties involved who made it possible to reschedule this game.鈥�
Kickoff time is set for Noon, with television to be determined. Tickets and parking
passes previously issued for the original Sept. 9 game will be honored. Fans can purchase
tickets by visiting Seminoles.com or by calling the FSU Athletics Ticket Office at
850-644-1830 or 888-378-6653 between 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Tickets are $30

The Seminoles鈥� September schedule was disrupted by the hurricane, which made landfall
in Florida on Sept. 10 and impacted the majority of the state, including Tallahassee.
In addition to being unable to play the 网曝门 game, FSU鈥檚 home game against rival Miami
was moved from Sept. 16 to Oct. 7. The delays led to Florida State waiting 21 days
between its season opener against Alabama on Sept. 2 and returning to the field against
North Carolina State on Sept. 23, tied for the third-longest break between regular
season games in program history.
Florida State travels to 4th-ranked Clemson on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on
ESPN.
