The Florida State Seminoles (0-3) will welcome the California Golden Bears (3-0) on Saturday, September 21, 2024.
The Golden Bears are set to play their first ACC matchup on Saturday as they make the long trip to face one of the conference's most storied programs.
After finishing last season on a high note, California have carried that momentum into 2024, starting the season at 3-0 and winning six of their last seven games dating back to last year. Their schedule hasn't been easy either, with a trip to Auburn and hosting San Diego State last week.
The Seminoles have definitely hit the panic button, and it's clear they need to make a turnaround. After dropping their first few games to Georgia Tech and Boston College, last week's loss to Memphis sent the fanbase into a tailspin.
With ACC play continuing and a tough schedule ahead, there are still big question marks on both sides of the ball. Each defeat has come with its own form of heartbreak, and as Mike Norvell's job security becomes more uncertain by the week, this game presents a crucial chance to change the narrative and get back on track.

Florida State Seminoles vs California Golden Bears team news & key players
Florida State Seminoles team news
The Seminoles are dealing with some injuries heading into this matchup, with five players marked as questionable or out. Two linebackers are uncertain for the game, and on the offensive side, keep an eye on Jaylin Lucas. The talented running back has already been ruled out, which will somewhat impact their offensive firepower.
California Golden Bears team news
Jaydn Ott is a crucial name on the injury report, as the standout running back has been working to recover from an injury in recent weeks. With the backup running back also listed as questionable and a couple of offensive linemen facing their own issues, the offense may struggle to maintain its effectiveness. Fernando Mendoza made a strong impression at quarterback by finishing last season with five touchdowns and just one interception. Through the first three weeks of this season, he has the potential to relieve some of the pressure on the defense.
