6:20 p.m. We're set up in the press box here at Doak Campbell. It's a little overcast with a 30 percent chance of rain. The wind is really kicking already, and there's supposed to be gusts even stronger later. So will see if weather becomes a factor. We have depth charts in the press box, which could be changed. But will post those in a second. Only a couple special-teams guys on the field so far.
6:30 p.m. Here's a breakdown of the depth chart FSU has given us (subject to change): On offense ... WR -- Whitfield or Rudolph; WR -- Wilson, Lane; LT -- Johnson, Frith, LG -- Are, Robbins; C -- Martinez or Eberle; RG -- Bell, Mavety (this doesn't seem possible because he hasn't practiced in weeks); RT -- Ruble or Kelly; TB - Cook or Pender; FB -Stevenson or Plante; ... On defense ... DE - Walker, Newberry; NG - Nnadi, Mitchell; DT - Lawrence-Stample, Christmas; BUCK - Pugh, Sweat or Casher; WLB - Smith, Lyons; MLB -- Northrup, Phillips; CB - Ramsey, Jackson; CB - White, Smith; SS - Andrews, James; FS - Brutus, Marshall; STAR - Hunter, Marshall.
6:40 p.m. Well, we might get delayed here. There just was an FSU announcement that we're under a lightning warning. Within 8 miles of the stadium. So the players have gone inside, which means we could get delayed. We'll let ya know.
6:55 p.m. Still in a delay. No players on the field. Just about guarantee game time will be delayed.
7:05 p.m. No change. Still delayed.
7:20 p.m. The lightning delay has been extended to at least 7:50 p.m. So can't imagine this game is starting before 9 p.m.
7:57 p.m. Both FSU and Texas State have taken the field for warm-ups. It comes after a lengthy...and of course as this gets typed, lightning just struck again in the east corner. Still, players and coaches are on the field.
8:05 p.m. QBs and centers are warming up. Golson is with Martinez, and Maguire is with Eberle. Cosentino is third with Hoefeld, and Francois is with Weeks. So Martinez looks to be starting for sure.
8:20 p.m. Whole team out now. Some guys who have been questionable are suited up ... Campbell, McFadden in particular.
8:30 p.m. Yeah, OL is definitely (from left) Johnson, Are, Martinez, Bell, Ruble. At least to start. Can tell from warmups. ... And now we're getting some light rain. During the lightning delay, it was dry. Now raining. But not too bad.
8:36 p.m. No big surprise, but Minshew, Bello and Mavety are all sidelined by injuries. None in uniform.
8:43 p.m. Players wrapping up warmups now. Interesting to see the defense showing a 3-4 look in warmups with Walker, Nnadi and Lawrence-Stample in the middle and Pugh and Hoskins as the OLBs and Northrup and Smith as the ILBs. Will see if they stay in that or go nickel. ... OK, looks like that's it for pregame. Go check out the live blog (link on home page) for in-game updates.
