6:25 p.m. -- Got a few players on the field doing early warmups, including Everett Golson. LB Terrance Smith is down there, but he has a big boot on his right ankle. He is out. ... FSU students starting to filter in, but not much else throughout the stadium. The weather is beautiful. A little warm with a breeze and just a few clouds in the sky.
6:35 p.m. -- Former FSU assistant James Coley is down on the field and came over to talk to some FSU folks. ... There's a bunch of recruits already down on the sideline. Gonna be a huge crowd of those kids,
6:50 p.m. -- Hearing that Dalvin Cook is definitely planning to play. Will have to see how he does, but he is expected to play.
7:00 p.m. -- Students really filling in now. More than half full in their section. ... Larger groups of players out there now. Bunch of receivers and special-teams players for both teams. ... Marvin Jones just did his "Sod Talk" thing outside the stadium. Heard it was awesome. We'll have video coming later.
7:10 p.m. -- FSU's centers and QBs are out taking snaps. Golson is with Ryan Hoefeld again. Maguire is with Eberle on second team. Cosentino is with Martinez. ... Cole Minshew is in uniform and making snaps to Francois. Good to see him healthy.
7:25 p.m. --- Dalvin is dressed and going through warmups. Looks like he's running well. All the backs and WRs are out there now catching passes from the QBs. Looks like the game will actually kick off around 8:10 p.m. ... UM players being booed when they run out for warmups.
7:35 p.m. -- More injury updates -- Kareem Are is out. Looks like the guards will be Mavety and Bell. Nate Andrews is warming up, but he has a bulky knee brace on. ... Mario Pender is out, but he's down on the field with teammates. Good to see him back with the team after his lengthy hospital stay.
7:40 p.m. -- FSU is wearing traditional garnet tops and gold pants. UM is wearing orange pants and white tops.
7:55 p.m. -- All right ... players have headed back to the locker rooms. FSU's guys are really amped ... as you can imagine. Terrance Smith is out, but he still did his usual on-field pregame hype talk. Should be fun. Done with the updates here. Will post more in the live blog as events occur.
