FSU starting safety Ashlynd Barker will not play tonight after being limited all week in practice with a shoulder injury. Barker had been listed as questionable.
Barker did not finish last week's game against Virginia and coach Mike Norvell said the redshirt junior was being monitored all week during practice. Later reports suggested that Barker was wearing a non-contact jersey all week.
