What a kickoff to the 2022 Florida State football season.

The Seminoles welcomed FCS opponent Duquesne into a renovated Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday to usher in FSU's third season under head coach Mike Norvell.

Florida State had a disastrous meeting with an FCS team last season en route to a 5-7 finish. FSU enters this season with new talent, including transfer pass rusher Jared Verse. The offense will be led again by dual-threat quarterback Jordan Travis, who threw for 15 touchdowns and ran for seven more last season.

The Dukes went 7-3 in 2021 and beat FBS school Ohio. Quarterback Joe Mischler, an all-NEC player who tore his ACL to start last season, was back to open the 2022 season for Duquesne.

6 p.m. | Top FSU cornerback not dressed out

It appears that top cornerback Omarion "Duke" Cooper will not play for Florida State against Duquesne.

Cooper, who listed as its starting boundary cornerback on its two-deep depth chart Monday, is not dressed out. Fellow defensive back Travis Jay and wide receiver Ontaria Wilson also aren't dressed out.

True freshman Azareye'h Thomas seems likely to start in Cooper's place. The Niceville High product was listed as Cooper's backup on the depth chart. Thomas enrolled a semester early in January and has impressed all offseason, especially in preseason camp.

Another true freshman, Sam McCall, is another cornerback who could receive more playing time.

5:45 p.m. | Players take the field, new start time announced

The Florida State and Duquesne players have taken the field to resume pregame warmups.

The scoreboard clock just started counting down, and now the new anticipated start time is 6:30 p.m. The game will still be aired on ACC Network.

5 p.m. | Game still under weather delay

The 5 p.m. start time has been officially delayed.

And the players on both teams are still inside to have safe shelter. Some Duquesne players, though, are standing near the visitors tunnel. When pregame warmups will resume remains unclear.

Once pregame warmups start up again, there will be a new anticipated start time.

4:12 p.m. | Weather delay likely postpones start of game

This game could start later than scheduled.

The game is officially under a weather delay due to lightning in the area. The players warming up on the field had to head back inside to have safe shelter. It's also raining pretty hard at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Stay tuned for more updates.

3:40 p.m. | Pregame warmup watching

More than a dozen unpadded FSU players are on the field and warming up.

FSU already ruled out six players due to undisclosed injuries: centers Maurice Smith and Kayden Lyles, wide receivers Ja’Khi Douglas and Winston Wright Jr., linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. and walk-on running back CJ Campbell. Lyles, Dix and Campbell suffered season-ending injuries.

Reserve wide receiver Darion Williamson is not eligible to play in the first half against Duquesne. The redshirt sophomore picked up a targeting penalty in the second half against Florida, the final game of FSU’s 2021 season.
