There will also be a radio broadcast available on 96.5 FM with Jeff Culhane and Ariya Massoudi on the call.
FSU has won its last three games against the Gators and is coming off a road sweep of Virginia Tech while UF is coming off being swept at Tennessee. The Gators lead the all-time series 28-20.
