This is a pivotal game for both teams and Florida State is preparing for a game on Saturday. In the past, games impacted by storms have either been relocated or rescheduled to a later date.

According to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Hurricane Ian is expected to become a major hurricane on Monday night and could start to impact the region as early as Wednesday.
