The No. 2 Florida State Seminoles look to avoid upset with a few weeks to go as they play host to their ACC rival Virginia Hokies.
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher spoke about the game and how his Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston is working his way through some bumps and bruises from the last few weeks of play.
"That's one of the unique things about (Winston) and our team, to play the next play," Fisher told the team's official website. "Go on and block out the next play. To me, that's what shows supreme confidence in yourself.”
"Pain is temporary," Fisher added. "You've got to put it away.”
The Seminoles are the No. 2 team in the nation and have smooth sailing to the end of the season after their come from behind victory against Louisville last week.
Virginia is looking to send a message as they look to knock off another ranked opponent this season and help coach Mike London keep his job. Tight end Zachary Swanson spoke about the team and how they are playing for their coach this weekend and the rest of the season.
"We're playing for coach (Mike) London, we're playing for our teammates, we're playing for the season, we're playing for a bowl game," said Swanson, who played on the '11 team. "We have three more opportunities to win two and I think it's a big thing for us to get these wins, and play hard, for whatever our reasons may be.”
Florida State leads the all-time series against Virginia 13-3, but the two teams have split their last four games. Virginia took the last matchup from the Seminoles in 2011 by the score of 14-13.
