The Florida State Seminoles and Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to lock horns tonight, and both schools could use a win.
Florida State have lost two in a row, bringing their conference record to 3-4 this season. Overall, they are 5-13 this season. They are yet to win on the road this season, losing all four of their contests away from home entering tonight.
