FSU football gets tested early, late
By Steve Ellis
TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER
Bobby Bowden's bunch won't have time to work itself into midseason form.
Florida State already knew it would open the 2004 football season at Miami on Sept.6. But the full schedule, released Monday by the ACC, also revealed another early league showdown on Sept.25 when Clemson comes to town. That game is part of a three-game homestand that also includes Alabama-Birmingham and North Carolina.
The schedule also features a road game against Syracuse that was plugged in as a nonleague opponent to replace Miami, which begins ACC play this season. With the addition of Virginia Tech and Miami to the ACC, FSU has dropped Georgia Tech as a league game. The Seminoles will not play Virginia Tech but will likely face Boston College when it joins the league by the 2006 season.
The Seminoles' six-game home schedule also includes Virginia (Oct.16), Duke (Nov.6) and Florida (Nov.20).
FSU plays 11 consecutive weeks, although one game is on a Monday and another is on a Thursday night at North Carolina State. Once FSU gets past an 11-day break that follows the Labor Day night game at Miami, there isn't much time for FSU to recover from injuries.
"The ACC has gotten better and better every year, and it will be even better in 2004," Bowden said. "Now you have Miami as an ACC team in the mix for next year, and our schedule has got to be one of the toughest in the country again.
"I know it sounds old, but I don't know anybody else who plays Miami and Florida. We've added a game at Syracuse, which is a very different environment for us and a difficult place to play. After an early open week we will basically play straight through, which makes staying away from injuries even more important."
