FSU vs. Virginia: How to watch, stream

No. 8 Florida State (3-0) is set to open conference play on Friday, taking on the Virginia Cavaliers (3-1) on the road.

The Seminoles will look to keep rolling ahead of a monumental matchup vs. the No. 2 Miami Hurricanes (4-0) next Saturday, hoping to quell a Cavaliers offense that racked up a 700-yard game of its own earlier this season against William & Mary. Virginia is coming off a 48-20 win over Stanford, a performance that earned three ACC player of the week honors — Chandler Morris (quarterback), Trell Harris (receiver) and McKale Boley (lineman).

Friday’s matchup (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) will pit the country’s No. 1 scoring offense in Florida State (58) vs. the No. 11 in Virginia (45.5). FanDuel currently has the over/under set at 59.5, with FSU favored by 6.5 points.
