Florida State is scheduled to host Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon in a matchup that could have big implications on the ACC title race.

Coach Mike Norvell said Monday that the athletic department has been in contact with the ACC in case “alternate plans” need to be made. FSU athletic director Michael Alford also released a statement Monday saying the program was closely monitoring the storm.
