Game Notes

• Friday’s game between Virginia and Florida State will be the first since 2019. With the exception of Cal, which joined the league in 2024, Virginia has played every other ACC school at least once since 2022.
• Virginia is 4-15 all-time against Florida State, but has won two of the last three meetings, including a 31-24 decision at Scott Stadium the last time the two teams met (2019).
• The Cavaliers will host a Friday night game at Scott Stadium for the first time since 2022, when UVA hosted NC State. UVA’s only two Friday night home wins in the last 10 years came against William & Mary and Virginia Tech in 2019. UVA is 2-4 in Friday night home games since 2015.
• Friday will be the fourth night game at home of the 2025 season, tied for the most in program history (2025, 2021, 2019,1984).
• At No. 8 in the AP poll, Florida State is the highest ranked team to come to Scott Stadium since then-No. 7 Notre Dame did so in 2021, and highest ranked ACC opponent at Scott Stadium since then-No. 5 Louisville in 2016.
• Virginia has six wins against AP top-10 opponents in program history – vs. No. 2 FSU (1995); vs. No. 4 FSU (2005); No. 6 North Carolina (1996); No. 7 Georgia Tech (1999); No. 9 Clemson (1990) and No. 10 North Carolina (2023). Five of the six were contested at Scott Stadium.
• Florida State (58.0 ppg) and Virginia (45.5 ppg) are the top-2 scoring teams in the ACC.
• Sporting explosive but balanced attacks, Virginia and USC are the only two FBS teams with at least 1,000 yards rushing and more than 1,200 yards passing. The Cavaliers’ 2,335 total yards are the fourth most of any team in the country.
• Virginia is 3-1 to start the season for the second-straight year and has at least three wins in its first four games for the fifth time in the last 17 years (2024 – 3-1; 2019 – 4-0; 2018 – 3-1; 2017 – 3-1). UVA has not started 4-1 in back-to-back seasons since 2003-04.
