On February 23, 2013, officials from both Florida State and Pittsburgh, as well as the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference announced that the Seminoles and the Panthers would open the season at Heinz Field on Labor Day in what would be Pittsburgh's first game as a member of the ACC.[20]
In the game that would serve as the debut of Jameis Winston as quarterback, the Seminoles had to overcome an early deficit to defeat the Panthers, 41–13.[21] After Pitt scored on their first possession to take a touchdown lead, Florida State quickly responded on their first drive with a touchdown pass from Winston to Nick O'Leary to tie the game. Winston and O'Leary would connect twice more for touchdowns in a game where the offense rolled.
The first quarter would end with a tie game. Driving down the field, Florida State took their first lead of the game with another touchdown pass to Nick O'Leary.[22] Pittsburgh was able to close the gap to four points after a twenty-eight yard field goal.[22] The Seminoles would extend their lead with a rushing touchdown from Jameis Winston and a pass to Rashad Greene following an interception to give Florida State an eighteen-point lead at halftime.[22] The third quarter was mostly uneventful with a pair of field goals from Florida State and a single field goal from Pittsburgh.[22] The Seminoles held a three score lead going into the fourth quarter. Winston would add another touchdown in the final quarter.[22]
Following Pitt's touchdown on the first drive, Florida State kept them out of the end zone for the remainder of the game and held the Panthers to just two field goals. After a slow start for the defense, Pitt was held to only 297 yards of offense and one touchdown.
For his four touchdown and 356 all-purpose yardage rookie performance, Winston was recognized as the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week[23] while tight end Nick O'Leary was named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week.[24] The victory improved Florida State's all-time record against the Panthers to 4–5.[25]
The game drew 4.5 million viewers and a 2.9 rating for ESPN, a three-year high for the network's Labor Day game. It was the third-most viewed game of college football's opening week.[26]

Florida State responded by scoring the fourteen unanswered points courtesy of a rushing touchdown from James Wilder, Jr. and a receiving touchdown from Devonta Freeman.[78] Looking to go up by more before the half, Jameis Winston made his second mistake of the game with an interception that led to another Miami score, to make the score 21–14 at halftime.[78]
The Seminoles went on to dominate the second half, scoring twenty points while holding Miami scoreless.[79] James Wilder, Jr. and Devonta Freeman each scored a touchdown in the third quarter to give Florida State a fourteen-point lead heading into the final quarter.[80] In the fourth quarter, the Seminoles were held to two field goals from Roberto Aguayo,[81] one with only a minute remaining, to secure the win over their rival.
Florida State amassed 517 yards of offense while the defense held the Hurricanes to 275 total yards and a season-low 14 points.
