Fox Sports Net Florida will present exclusive, live coverage of The Eddie Robinson Football Classic, on Saturday, August 24 at 8:30pm. The fifth-annual Eddie Robinson Classic pits Iowa State against Florida State University, ranked fourth in the USA Today coaches' poll.
The Iowa State Cyclones, of the Big 12 Conference, finished the 2001 season with a 7 – 4 record and face a tough Seminole team that has all of its starters returning for the 2002 campaign. Despite last season's 8 – 4 record FSU is expected to win its 11th ACC title and compete for the national championship this year. The game marks only the second time these two teams have met. Their last meeting in 1975 resulted in a 10 – 6 Cyclones victory over the Seminoles.
Teaming up to provide live coverage from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City will be Joel Meyers (play-by-play), Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, and former coach Artie Gigantino.
