Pregame notes: FSU vs. Duquesne

Florida State Seminoles football is kicking off its season vs. the Duquesne Dukes, the first look at the head coach Mike Norvell’s third team in Tallahassee.

FSU is looking to start 1-0 for the first time since 2016, when the Seminoles beat Ole Miss 45-34 in a neutral site matchup in Orlando. In season openers under Norvell, FSU has lost to Georgia Tech (16-13) and Notre Dame (41-38) in close game.

Some other notes from FSU Sports Info:

  • Florida State hosts Duquesne in the earliest game in Doak Campbell Stadium history, with the previous earliest home opener being a 41-7 victory over Louisiana Tech on August 28, 1999.
