Florida State released an updated depth chart on the eve of its Labor Day game against No. 19 SMU, instantly reshaping fan anticipation. The change follows a Darryll Desir injury ruling that removes him from the matchup and a sudden power outage that delayed the start, as reported by the Tallahassee Democrat and USA Today. 247Sports noted the revised roster while the same outlet highlighted the team’s Legacy Walk ceremony before kickoff.

CBS Sports and other betting outlets are already publishing odds, picks and promo codes tied to the matchup, underscoring market interest. With the lineup now set and the venue's power issue resolved, observers will watch whether the Seminoles can compensate for Desir’s absence and maintain momentum against a ranked opponent.

How the adjusted roster will influence game flow remains an open question.
