The ACC announced Monday that UNC’s upcoming road game at Florida State will take place in prime time at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

This will be the first meeting between the Tar Heels and Seminoles since 2016, when Mitch Trubisky led the UNC offense down the field in the final seconds to set up a game-winning 54-yard field goal by Nick Weiler.

The Tar Heels are currently ranked No. 8 in the nation according to the Associated Press, and have won each of their first two games against Syracuse and Boston College to begin the season.

Florida State, meanwhile, has struggled on the way to a 1-2 start in the first year under new head coach Mike Norvell–who missed time last month after testing positive for COVID-19.
