The Florida State Seminoles will play the Central Arkansas Bears on Saturday in Doak Campbell Stadium. It is FSU's final tune-up game of the season, and FSU revealed the announcers for the game on Monday.
Doug Sherman will be the play-by-play announcer with Forrest Conoly serving as the color commentator, and Ashley Stroehlein reporting from the sideline. The game is set to kick off at 3 p.m. ET and will be on the ACC Network.
The Seminoles (1-2, 0-1 ACC) are looking to snap their two-game losing streak against an FCS opponent, giving them a chance to work on the things that have caused them to lose to the SMU Mustangs and Alabama Crimson Tide over the past three weeks. The defense in particular needs to be better after allowing 1,152 yards of
offense in their past two games.
Mike Norvell is one of the most productive wide receivers in Central Arkansas history, playing there from 2001-05 before starting his coaching career, and was inducted into the Central Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. He broke the school's career receptions record with 213 for 2,611 yards and 15 touchdowns. He is now second in receptions and sixth in receiving yards.
ESPN's analytics heavily favor the Seminoles, who will be playing in front of a sold-out Doak Campbell Stadium for the first time this season. Central Arkansas is 2-2 on the season and looking to win their first-ever game in Tallahassee.
