Florida State heads to Notre Dame after another embarrassing loss – Sports Illustrated

Notre Dame’s next opponent will be what was supposed to be the flagship game of the 2024 home game.

Instead, it will be anything else.

Florida State, fresh off a 2023 season that saw them eliminated from the College Football Playoff, has been brutal ever since.

The Seminoles will be just 1-8 when they board the plane from Tallahassee and head to South Bend for next Saturday’s game after the latest loss.

Florida State actually got on the scoresheet the first Saturday when it hosted North Carolina at Doak Campbell Stadium, but it didn’t last long. The Tar Heels outscored the Seminoles 35-8 the rest of the way to move to 5-4 on the year.

Omarion Hampton led the Tar Heels by rushing for 172 yards and four touchdowns while hauling in another 93 yards through the air and a fifth touchdown.

Notre Dame gets a right matchup against Florida State

Notre Dame is coming off its second bye week and gets a chance to put up some big numbers Saturday against Florida State.

The Seminoles are just 1-8 on the year and aren’t doing anything particularly well.

However, as bad as this team is, perhaps the most telling stat is that Florida State has only scored 20 points once this season, back in Week 0 when they were upset in the Irish by Georgia Tech, 24-21.

Notre Dame and Florida State kick off at 7:30 PM ET on November 9 at Notre Dame Stadium.
