TALLAHASSEE (Interstat) — Florida State will host Central Arkansas on Saturday in an NCAA Football Bowl Division game at Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles enter at 1-2, while the Bears are 2-2. Game-time weather is expected to be about 80 degrees.

Florida State is coming off a 50-36 loss at Alabama in its most recent outing. Quarterback Ashton Daniels is the player to watch for the Seminoles after completing 17 of 29 passes for 377 yards and rushing 13 times for 7 yards with two touchdowns. Running back Ousmane Kromah added 17 carries for 80 yards and a score, and Samuel Singleton Jr. contributed 68 receiving yards. The Seminoles opened the season with a 34-17 win over New Mexico State before falling 27-24 to SMU and then dropping the road contest at Alabama.

Central Arkansas most recently fell 27-9 at Southeast Missouri State. Quarterback Donovyn Omolo is the Bears’ key player after going 12 of 27 for 98 yards and rushing 13 times for 85 yards. Running back Jalen Washington ran 15 times for 45 yards, and Chapman McKown added 28 rushing yards. The Bears beat Central Oklahoma 59-20 and Tennessee-Martin 36-24 earlier this season, with a 42-14 loss to West Florida also on their record.

Both teams enter with two losses in their past three games, and each is looking for a stabilizing performance. The matchup pits Florida State’s Bowl Division depth against a Central Arkansas squad seeking a signature road result. The Seminoles will look to Daniels and the passing game to build an early advantage, while the Bears will rely on Omolo’s dual-threat ability and a rushing attack led by Washington and McKown. Florida State has more recent experience against top-level competition, including its high-scoring loss at Alabama, and will aim to protect home field before returning to conference play. Central Arkansas, meanwhile, will try to control possession and limit explosive plays after a difficult outing against Southeast Missouri State. Doak Campbell Stadium is expected to draw a home crowd for the Seminoles, who are looking to even their record and gain momentum. The Bears are seeking their third win of the season and a notable upset against a Football Bowl Division opponent.
