FSU vs SMU Labor Day Showdown | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State gears up for a high-stakes Labor Day showdown against SMU — the only nationally televised game that Monday night. FSU seeks another early-season statement, echoing last year’s Alabama upset, while SMU, ranked 19th and coming off a strong conference run, faces their first-ever road game against the Seminoles as slight favorites. The ACC has extended its availability window to 72 hours, giving both teams more time to assess injuries ahead of kickoff. FSU is reeling from key losses: safety Karson Hobbs (ACL) is out for the season, along with corner Chauncey Kennon and safety Jordan Crutchfield. Offensively, tight end Desirrio Riles and receivers Devin Carter and TaeShaun Gelsey are sidelined. SMU also struggles with injuries, including linebacker Caden Marshall and cornerback Deuce Gilbert. With both squads missing crucial players and several others listed as questionable, this matchup promises drama, depth challenges, and a battle for momentum on the biggest college football Monday night of the year.
