Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit top-25 2027 linebacker Kaden Henderson included Miami and Florida State in his top 12 earlier this fall for a reason. This weekend, he’ll see the two go head-to-head in Tallahassee. Get his take.
Last Friday, Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School 2028 running back Xander Edwards broke Derrick Henry’s Florida high school football record for most touchdowns in a single game when he scored eight times in the Bulldogs’ win over Baldwin.

MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
Business trip… Posted by Hooracane
Winning this game will go a loong way in showing that this team is very different from the “flash in the pan” teams we have seen in the past. Despite FSU being overrated IMO, this will be our toughest test to date given it is on the road and FSU will be desperate for a win. If FSU can win then they will be right back in the race for the ACC and playoffs. If they lose, their conference title and playoff hopes will be all but dashed at 3-2 with 2 ACC losses and no ranking. If we come in and play the same tough defense with a dominant running attack, we should win this game by 13 or more.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY

“They’re talented. Their defensive coordinator (Corey Hetherman) is very impressive. You can tell they know what they’re doing. Their guys up front, they’ve got some real guys up front. That’s really what stands out when you watch film. They’re going to make you earn it. That’s probably the bottom line.”
