CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles will play their once-postponed rivalry game as scheduled in Tallahassee on Saturday.

Miami athletic director Blake James confirmed via Twitter that the game will kickoff at 3:30 p.m.

Officials at both Miami and Florida State were monitoring Tropical Storm Nate as it appears to be heading in the general direction of the Florida panhandle over the weekend.

However, the forecast path of the storm has shifted to the west, allowing the schools to breathe a bit easier.

The game was originally scheduled for Sept. 16, but was postponed due to Hurricane Irma. The new date was easily scheduled as both teams had bye weeks already planned.

After practice Wednesday morning, the Hurricanes said the plan was to prepare as if kickoff would take place as scheduled

“You really can only control what you can control," Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt said. "We'll let the administration figure all that out. Coming off the bus was the first I've heard of it. I didn't really think about it. We're going to keep practicing and preparing and getting ready to play."

The game can be seen on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. and ME TV.
