With QB in question, No. 8 Florida State sets out to battle Virginia

Florida State has had time to bask in its win over Alabama.In the three weeks since their 31-17 upset of that Top 10 team, the Seminoles have crushed East Texas A&M and Kent State by a combined score of 143-13, with a bye week in between, as they surged into the Top 10 themselves.The No. 8 Seminoles (3-0, 0-0 ACC) now will begin a stretch of eight straight Atlantic Coast Conference games with their first road game of the season Friday night against Virginia (3-1, 1-0) in Charlottesville, Va.The main question facing the Seminoles is whether quarterback Tommy Castellanos will be available this week. Castellanos, who has accounted for 594 passing yards, 139 rushing yards and six total touchdowns, had his lower leg “rolled up on” in the second quarter Saturday, according to Florida State coach Mike Norvell. The QB limped off the field and did not return.Castellanos said after the game that he was “100 percent still” after the injury scare, but Norvell sent a bit more nuanced message on Monday.”Today, (Castellanos) was able to get some work. I feel confident about where that’s going to be,” Norvell said. “Obviously, we’ll continue to see how the week plays out.”The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are coming off a 48-20 thrashing of Stanford in their ACC opener on Saturday. Virginia is averaging 45.5 points per game this season, 11th-best in the nation.Quarterback Chandler Morris, a transfer from North Texas, has been a big part of that success, throwing for 1,050 yards and eight touchdowns. He doubled his TD total last week with four scores and 380 passing yards against the Cardinal and also has 132 rushing yards this season.Trell Harris had 145 receiving yards and caught three touchdown passes in that game.
