More on Florida State vs Notre Dame

Both Florida State and Notre Dame have struggled to this point in the season and need to find a way to turn things around before it’s too late. The Seminoles are just 5-13 overall and 3-4 in ACC play after a disastrous non-conference run. For their part, the Irish are just 9-9 and 1-6 in ACC play.

This is the second time that Notre Dame and Florida State are playing this season. The first time, which the Seminoles hosted, was a tight game. Ultimately, the Seminoles won 73-72.

Both teams have struggled on defense this season. So, there is a good chance that this turns into a shootout at some point.
