Game Nuggets

  • Florida State leads the all-time series 14-2, including a perfect 8-0 mark in Tallahassee.
  • The Jefferson-Eppes Trophy is up for grabs and it links the two schools through Virginia’s founding father Thomas Jefferson and his grandson Francis Eppes VII, the three-time mayor of Tallahassee and long-time president of the Board of Education of the Seminary West of the Suwannee (the institutional frontrunner of Florida State University).
  • UVa has won three games on the road in four tries this season, the most since winning four of six road games in 2007.
  • Virginia only has two previous wins in the state of Florida, both coming at Miami.
  • The Seminoles are looking for their sixth consecutive win against ACC opponents, which would match their longest conference winning streak since 2002 when they won their first seven ACC games.

Matt Conrath and the Hoos hope to get an ACC win this week.
