Virginia (4-2) at No.6 Florida St (6-1) 3:30 PM EDT

Oct. 21, 2000

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Ticker) -- Visits to the Sunshine State have been fruitless for Virginia, and today's trip to Florida State is unlikely to change the trend.

The Cavaliers have lost all 10 games they have played in the state of Florida, including an embarrassing 63-21 setback to Illinois in the Micronpc.com Bowl in December.

Virginia has given up at least 31 points in every game in Florida and is allowing 41.6 points per contest. The Cavaliers have never scored more than 24 points in that span.

This week's Atlantic Coast Conference game could also see a pelthora of points. Florida State (6-1, 4-0 ACC) leads the nation in total offense (535.0 ypg) and passing offense (398.0 ypg).

Chris Weinke leads the nation in passing efficiency and threw for a school-record 536 yards and five touchdowns in a 63-14 Atlantic Coast Conference drubbing of Duke last week. Weinke has passed for over 1,000 yards in his last two games, throwing for 496 yards in a loss to Miami two weeks ago.

Florida State has won seven of the eight meetings with Virginia, and has won all four home meetings by an average score of 39.3-17.3. The Seminoles have scored 31 points or more in the last four meetings.

The Seminoles have won 32 straight home games and are unbeaten in their last 49 games at Doak Campbell Stadium.

To make matters worse for the Cavaliers (4-2, 3-1), they may be without quarterback Dan Ellis, who strained his hamstring in a 31-23 win over Maryland a week ago and did not practice last week. If Ellis is not ready, either Bryson Spinner or Matt Schaub will start this week.

Virginia has scored 116 of its 163 points in the first half and has outscored opponents, 65-3, in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers are 11-11 after bye weeks under coach George Welsh.
