Florida State Competing with Weather, Savannah State Tonight

So far the rain has not stopped pounding Tallahassee today. With just over three hours until kickoff the forecast calls for more showers throughout the night and the weather map shows a healthy burst of precipitation headed towards Doak Campbell.

So go ahead and pump the brakes on some of the big blowout talk. At the very least the playing surface will be slower tonight and it's possible come gametime that the Seminoles are competing with the weather in addition to Savannah State.

The name of the game will be player health more so than ever now. Before it was going to be a priority to make sure to get starters out of the game with as few injuries as possible, but now with a slick surface I'm sure the coaching staff will want to take even fewer chances.

It will be a good day to run the ball though. 

Now we just have to hope there's no lightning...
