Time Set for FSU’s Trip to South Florida

No. 2 Florida State’s trip to Raymond James Stadium to take on South Florida on Sept. 24 now has a kickoff time.

The ACC and American Athletic Conferences announced kickoff times for the Week 4 slate and the Seminoles will take on the Bulls at 12 p.m. EST with the game to be televised on ABC. The contest will be just Florida State’s second trip to USF.

FSU won its first visit in 2012 by a score of 30-17 and leads the all-time series 2-1. South Florida won the first meeting between the schools in 2009, winning at Doak Campbell Stadium, 17-7. The Seminoles defeated the Bulls last season in Tallahassee 34-14, thanks largely to 266 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns from running back Dalvin Cook.

With the kickoff time announced for USF, seven of #FSU‘s last 12 games going back to last season will have started at noon or 12:30 p.m.

Like the Seminoles, South Florida is off to a 2-0 start with wins over Towson and Northern Illinois. The Bulls will head to upstate New York to take on Syracuse this week while FSU visits No. 10 Louisville.
