Here’s how to watch Friday’s 2016 Orange Bowl between the Michigan Wolverines and Florida State Seminoles online.

The New Year’s Six will get underway when the Michigan Wolverines take on the Florida State Seminoles in the 2016 Orange Bowl on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium.

Second-year head coach Jim Harbaugh led the Wolverines to a 10-2 record, its best mark in the regular season since 2011. Michigan was in playoff position for much of the year before an epic overtime loss to Ohio State, and will be eager to salvage something from 2016 after falling one spot short.

The Wolverines owned the nation’s second-best scoring defense at 12.5 points allowed per game. Jabrill Peppers and Jourdan Lewis were key pieces of what is arguably the top secondary in the country, while Taco Charlton racked up nine sacks to lead the front seven.

Friday’s game begins at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN, with full streaming details available below.

Florida State’s playoff dreams were quickly dashed with losses to Louisville and North Carolina in the early season. The Seminoles bounced back to win six of seven down the stretch to finish at 9-3 and earn their fifth straight trip to a major bowl game.

Running back Dalvin Cook is one of the most dynamic players in college football and racked up 2,046 yards from scrimmage on 298 touches. Florida State’s defensive unit suffered a number of key injuries, but still features a pass rushing force in DeMarcus Walker.

Friday’s key battle will be in the trenches, as the teams generated the two highest sack percentages in the nation. The Seminoles will need to show some improvement on the offensive line, as they struggled to protect freshman quarterback Deondre Francois against better teams.
